First experience eating Truffle Fries at Lola's Cafe

Hello, anybody there? I'm back! I will try my best to update my blog more often.

I'm still a food and travel blogger, and actually I have a lots of things to blog about, but I don't have the time. If you need more food info urgently, please follow my instagram account @whatvinaeat. I update my instagram daily.

Actually I have tons of food photos, but I feel lazy to write the essay for my blog. Oh I wish I'm just a fashion blogger. Just snap some photos and put where I got those items. But I don't have good fashion items to show off. Lol

Back to main topic . . .

My friend once mention to me how good truffle fries is. I really wanted to try it for quite a long time, but always ended up choosing the main course over this because of the price.

Finally today I made up my mind, die die I must try the truffle fries. We (my husband and I) went to Lola's Cafe for brunch. This place is a highly rave cafe in Singapore. It's located near Kovan MRT, just 2 minutes walk. We've been there once actually, but didn't try their truffle fries.We like the food there, especially their brioche bread.

This place is super popular, there's always queue, we have to wait for around 20 minutes before we can get a table.But don't worry, they have a tablet where you can get your queue ticket and write down your phone number, once the table is ready for you, you'll get a sms. So you're free to go anywhere you like without worrying people might cut queue.

OK, now here comes the food...

First time we went there, there were 5 of us, so we managed to order more varieties. One of my friend ordered the Croissant, it was so good! Next time when I come here I wanted to try this.

Bacon and egg croissant, if I'm not wrong, this dish is not listed on their menu on the website. I can't cheat.




This is everyone's favorite on the menu, Avocado Egg Benedict. I'm not a runny egg yolk kind of person, so I don't really have the right to comment here. All I can say is I can't really tasted the avocado, and it is a raw sliced avocado, my expectation was some kind of guacamole. The brioche bread save the dish. Really love their bread.

Yeeay mushroom! My fave veggie. Whenever I see mushroom on the menu, I'm sold! I have to order whatever it is. And this is really good. Second time we come back, this is the dish that we ordered again!

The creamy mushroom is melting on your mouth, and again the brioche bread, it's crispy on the edges but very fluffy in the middle... Where do they get the bread?? How do they cook it until this perfection...
Mushroom Melt, the side salad balance it all
And finally the truffle fries... the most expensive fries that I ever bought. This small plates of fries cost $12 (IDR 100rb!!!). When I put this on my mouth, I can feel the strong aroma of the truffle. The fries is thinner than usual fries (compared to mc donald's), it's crunchy and not oily at all. It's a bit salty but not too salty. I think those white flakes is parmesan not salt.

This fries is perfect to share for 3-4 persons. I feel it a bit too much and too expensive for 2 persons.

Now truffle fries is on the list of my favorite food.
