FOOD TASTING @ LOLA'S CAFE

Hello!! Sorry for the lack of updates because school has been extremely draining. I recently took part in a mini Instagram competition and won myself and Sam a pair of invites to Lola's Cafe Food Tasting session. They recently opened a newly refurbished outlet right next to the existing one at Simon Road, which serves up exquisitely played desserts. Sam and I got to be one of the first to try the whole new range of desserts so here are my recommendations!! 






The first dessert is the Odd Fellow! A zesty dessert w passionfruit curd, basil ice cream and cereal crumble meringue. It's a rather light dessert, the flavours complemented each other really well and the different textures added extra oomph into the dessert! Although this is not the usual dessert that goes right up my alley, I still liked it. I am sure that many others will be able to appreciate this interesting dessert!




The crew were really nice and served us their popular tarts in minature sizes . The one of the left should be no stranger to anyone. The all famous Sea Salt Chocolate Tart was delightful as usual. The coffee cream + chocolate was screaming EAT MEEE and I finished it really quickly hehehe. Samantha like the Lemon Meringue one but the one in the middle wasn't very satisfying. The pistachio strawberry tart tasted like kaya to me lewl (evidence that I am no food gourmet expert)


Next was my favourite!! The french toast <3 I am sure you have seen many french toasts around but this is one of the best I have ever tasted. It came with MILK ice cream, like woah how unique is that! The milk ice cream was smooth, rich and creamy. And the french toast was amazing!! It's flame torched and it reminded me of creme brulee! The seasonal fruits on the side were a sweet touch and I am very sure I'll be coming back to Lola's for more of this little boy :-))))


Lastly, came The Debbie. It was named after Debbie, their manager, who has a reputation for dropping plates etc hahah but so cool?!?! She now has a dessert named after her!!!! I also want lolol. Hmm, I have a mega sweet tooth but The Debbie was a little too sweet for my liking. It may have been because I had a lot of desserts prior to this though. The peanut caramel ice cream was very interesting and this whole plate is definitely a hell of an Instagram shot hehehe.

Very thankful to have won the Instagram competiton yay!!! Impressed with the hospitality of the staff, and the impeccably designed interior of the cafe. All the professional food bloggers were moving EVERYWHERE to take shots of the place. If you have been reading my blog for a long time, you would know that Lola's easily ends up as one of my favourite cafes for it affordably priced but great yummy tasting food!!

And thank you Sammy for accompanying me heheh. I know I am always making fun of you for basking in my luck and winning all the free stuff thanks to me, but frankly speaking, I would not do it with anyone else <3 Hope this sort of repays back for the late birthday present?!! hahahaha see you tmrw sammy!!

And thank you guys for reading once again!! I'll try to blog more (maybe after finals :-( ) and have a blessed weekend!!

TGIF everyone!! <3

Love,
Xin Hui

Mmm

I am on the train home from school. Well, not exactly going home, going to give tuition. I looked up from my phone and saw a man with full on tattoos all over his arms. My eyes darted to the right, and I spot a huge scar lining across another woman's chest. She wore a low cut top and the scar was visible. 

Don't know why, but it's stirring quite a bit of thoughts within me. 

Love,
Xin Hui

Smaller update :

Changed my (ridiculously) long Facebook name to my real name instead haha. The fake name has never bothered me, and I don't really know why I changed it also. It just felt alright to change hahah. But you can still call me Han, Sooyong, Kellie, Xin Hui, BobbestJr whatever hahahah

Really hope to be done with this frantic race and meet all my friends soon <3

Love,
Xin Hui
