For those that passed by Simon Road regularly, Lola's cafe need no
introduction. The same can be said for the cafe hoppers, this place
is definitely in the list of the must try cafes. However, before you
made up you mind to visit this place, the waiting time to get a seat
here is also legendary.

I can't remember how many times we have said to each other when we
drive home passing by Simon Road, we need to give this place a try.
We were given a chance to try it out when we are not working on a
Friday morning. Thinking that we might be able to get a table because
it is still early, but after asking for a table, we informed that we
might have to wait for 45mins. On a positive note, you don't need to
stand there and wait, instead you can register your name and contact
number in ticktok machine and they will call you when its ready.

While we
were waiting, we decided to share a quick bite of wanton mee at the
corner coffeeshop, ;p

Once we
get the call, we were seated table for four and we have to share with
another couple. We both decided to order Lola's Full Monty Breakfast
($15) and Honey Paprika Crispy Wings ($10).

The Full
Monty Breakfast come with brioche bread, pork sausage, honey bacons,
ham, scrambled eggs, garden salad and balsamic dressing. Sausage is
moist covered with a crisp and springy skin. Eggs are creamy, with
melted cheese on top. The bacon is crispy and coated with honey,
which is good to cover the saltiness in the bacon. The ham also
tasted sweet, as the honey coated bacon was placed on top of it.
Salads with balsamic dressing provide a good balance to heavy and
only proteins. We only hope that they give us more of the nice
brioche. One is not enough, two should be the minimum.

Honey
Paprika Crispy Wings, voted one of the best chicken wings by The
Smart Local. It is crispy, but moist and succulent on the inside.
However it tasted sweet as it is coated with honey. The paprika
supposed to give the heat to the wings, but to minimum effect. We
think it is all right, but nothing to rave about according to our
taste buds. LD says that she really do not understand why others are
so wowing so much about it.

For the
drinks, we ordered Latte ($5), Sparkling Strawberry Fruit Tea ($5.5)
and Mango Tango Green Tea ($5.5). For the latte, they used the beans
from Dutch Colony. The Latte is subtle, smooth, with a mild acidity
at the end. Its good. The fruit infused tea is slightly
disappointing. Sparking strawberry tasted flat, missing the sparkling
park. While the mango tango can be better if the tea is stronger.

Service
is very good. The service staff are friendly and upfront. They manage
our expectations properly, like informing us the estimated waiting
time to get a seat. As the cafe are packed, it can be difficult to
get their attention at times. However, once you get their attention,
they attend to your needs promptly.
Overall,
we find the food at Lola is good although the chicken wings are not
to our preference as we are more of salty type of foodies. If the
chance arises, we will come back to try other items on that menu.
Cheers and Keep up the good work guys !!!
