Lola's Cafe (Simon Road)

Fusion Menu

Benedict (poached egg with creamy cheese) on in-house crab cake (texture a little like hash brown but more seafood creamy taste) on sour dough. Sided with some salad veg. $20. Good creamy egg as breakfast.

Should be better in terms of flavour. Ordered this dish because of good reviews. However, when taking a bite, the taste of food was overpowering. Had to dabble with egg to balance out the flavour of pulled pork. To put it simply, it was salty. Cost: $20

pork collar barley risotto ($20++) - 3/5 💗
• fried vege was super yummy & sauce was
flavourful
• didn't really like the texture of the risotto (bec they use actual barley grains which didn't actl click for
me when ordering so that was my fault). however my friend q enjoyed it!
• found the pork collar a tad dry & tough. could use a little fats but you would like it if you're a fan of leaner cuts!

nachos tater tots ($12++) - 3/5 💗
• not soggy but wasn't super crispy
• generous serving of sauce & tater tots
• abit jelak after awhile
• nothing new

honey paprika wings ($13++) - 4/5 💗
• nicely fried & crispy
• honey was a great combi to the savoury dish. would have loved to have a honey dip on the side too!
• v generous portion, possible to split among 3-4 pax

lychee rosewater cake ($7.50++) - 4/5 💗
• sponge was a tad dense with a strong rose flavour
• i didn't fancy it too much because of the rose flavour & cream but my friend thought it was pretty yummy
• not too sweet! & had some refreshing bits of lychee flesh/pulp between the cake layers

overall bill $63 after ++; most dishes were abit of a miss for me this round, esp for the price.

hopefully i'd pick better next visit! 🎀

this looked amazing i was vv excited to dig in! it had chunks of salmon, clams, and 3 prawns in a creamy stew which tasted incredible w the sourdough. the portion was huge too! my only gripe is that it tasted quite one-dimensional so it got kinda boring after a while. still a p satisfying meal though, i think would be much better if i had shared with someone else

my friends had the bacon & mushroom truffle cream linguine and beef cheeks with barley risotto

i rly wanna come back for brunch one day to try their shakshuka!! they have a 1h dining limit though so might not be the best place to chill esp if you’re coming during peak hours

Iced honey chamomile was very refreshing and light with a hint of lemongrass
