If you’re an Eastie who’s a fan of Lola’s Cafe, you no longer have to travel down to its Holland Village and Simon Road outlets to get your fix. Instead, you can drop by Lola’s recently-opened third outlet in Tampines Mall, where you’ll find some of the brand’s classics, as well as exciting outlet exclusives.
One of these outlet exclusives is the Lamb Shakshuka ($18++), which we quickly fell in love with. This spicy-savoury stew dish combines tender lamb chunks, tangy tomato sauce, and perfectly poached eggs to great effect. Remember to soak up all that saucy goodness with the sourdough bread on the side!
We also enjoyed the new Fried Hake Burger ($20++), which features battered hake fish fillet, charred tomato mayonnaise, cheddar cheese and more sandwiched between two fluffy brioche buns. A side of crispy tater tots completes this hearty dish.
There are some great outlet-exclusive drinks to try too. These include the aromatic Iced Momo Oolong Milk Foam ($6.50++) and the Iced Pu-erh Milk Foam ($6.50++).
As for desserts, the Cereal Milk Soft Serve ($6.50++) and Uji Matcha Soft Serve ($6.50++) are great picks. We particularly enjoyed the latter for its rich matcha flavour, creamy texture, and the crunchy black sesame rice puffs hidden below the ice cream.
Lola’s Tampines outlet occupies a two-storey space characterised by interiors with warm, earth tones and plenty of natural light.
Whether you’re there for brunch or dinner, we reckon the beautiful space and moreish food at this new Lola’s will have you coming back. So if you live in the East, consider making Lola’s Cafe your next dining destination.
