Westies will no longer need to travel to Kovan to enjoy Lola’s hearty brunch fare, as the café has opened its second outlet along Holland Village. Keep your eyes out for its signature dishes, including the pulled pork & avocado eggs benedict. One of the café’s most popular brunch items, the dish sees fluffy sourdough topped with layers of smashed avocado, poached eggs, hollandaise and Chipotle pulled pork that has been smoked until fork tender. On top of favourites, look forward to outlet-exclusive creations, like the spicy crab rigatoni, featuring al dente rigatoni tossed in a creamy and spicy tomato sauce. It’s crowned with sweet Blue Swimmer crab meat and parmesan cheese. Book here.
