It's the beginning of the week again, i'm sure everyone out there is working their best to fight away Monday blue right? Well, the blues is unnecessary when you have a cuppa good caffeine. I'm talking about coffee and tea i had during my last Singapore trip. This post is specially for my SG friends as well as those who are going to visit SG soon. Enjoy~

Lola's Cafe, Kovan

   Lola's cafe is on my SG cafe list. We were quite reluctant to visit here at first because of its location in Kovan which is very far away from where we stayed. Nevertheless, the consistent online review finally won us over, and i took around an hour, approximately 20 MRT stations to bring me here. The journey was all worth while when we had a taste of their menu.



   Lola's Cafe is located in a friendly, quiet housing neighbourhood. We took around 15 minutes to walk from the Kovan MRT station. The space is limited, packed with customers, i advise you to come a little bit early than 11am to avoid long waiting time. Lola's Cafe offered the typical brunch menu, along with some fancy looking desserts. We ordered an Eggs Benedict, a Sea Salt Chocolate Tart with Coffee Cream as well as a cup of Cappucino to share.

Eggs Benedict--SGD 15 2 poached eggs dressed with hollandaise sauce, over a slice of toast, accompanied by salad with balsamic vinegar

Runny yolk checked!

Cappucino--SGD 5

Sea Salt Chocolate Tart with Coffee Cream--SGD 5 Dark Chocolate Ganache, Bailey, Espresso and Sea Salt

      There was basically nothing wrong with the Eggs Benedict that we had. We got the perfectly poached eggs with the right texture, a light Hollandaise sauce on a crsipy yet soft toast. The only thing i wish could be better is the portion of the dish. I would recommend a bigger serving for the price the customers are paying. Another delightful find was the Chocolate Tart which redefine the meaning of heavenly matched ingredients. Sweet and salty goes together perfectly in this dessert. We got the sweetness from the chocolate mousse and the saltiness from the sea salt which is not overwhelming at all. Coffee was good and balanced, possibly the best i have tried in SG.

Look at my happy boy

      Good food, delicious desserts, great coffee and reasonable price. Lola's Cafe is here to stay in the SG neighbourhood. I would recommend this cafe to all who loves good quality brunch and desserts.

High Society, Marina Bay Sands

   Yes! This is basically the front view of the shop and what drew us into at the first place. I was strolling the shops around Marina Bay Sands with Cousie Caryn and we stumbled upon this desserts place filled with visually appealing sweet treats! Without further thinking, we got in and ordered a number of sweets with some tea while resting our feet.

Red Velvet Cupcake, Macarons in Rose, Chocolate and Pistachio flavors--SGD 5 each

Strawberry Cheesecake

Chamomile Tea

Earl Grey for cousie Caryn

   I guess from this you would know, us girls are weak when it comes to desserts. I truly enjoyed our afternoon tea session that day, mainly due to the classy, quiet and elegant ambiance. Service was spectacular and their tea collection was fine and quality. The desserts had some hits and misses. I love all our macarons, which have the right texture, consistency and flavors. However, the red velvet cupcake was too dry and tasted flat; strawberry cheese cake was ordinary and not memorable. I would recommend this place purely for its dining environment and macarons.

What not to love with tea and desserts?
