Cafe Hopping: Milk & Honey Gelato // LOLA's Cafe

HEY YALL!!!
Was out the other day with my beefy to go cafe hopping cause we just love to eat hehehe
We travelled all the way to tampines just to walk around for an hr before heading to the first cafe for ice cream at Bedok, before heading to hougang for dinner.
You must be thinking right now that we are crazy to travel from one end to the other just to eat HAHAHA i have no idea what was in our head.




FIRST STOP, Milk and Honey Gelato
Here's their address: 

86 Bedok North Street 4, 460086

Honestly speaking nowadays there are cafes opening EVERYWHERE.
But the most common of cafes would be those with ice cream on waffles!
I saw one of my friends posting this on their instagram and it looked too good to be true so i couldn't help but want to travel there to try it out hahaha.

Anyways, it was literally located at an old hdb estate in the middle of nowhere which is pretty unexpected actually.



Here's their menu, at first i really got confused between the bumble mason queen thing but it's actually just the category of their flavours,
Eg like bumble would be a normal flavour and queen would be premium!!

Ritche and i ordered a double scoop Mason with belgium dark chocolate waffles so it cost $11+ haha.
It's still quite hard to believe that nowadays, it's actually the normal pricing for ice cream to be over $10 :(
Plus it's at these ulu locations in the middle of nowhere!
MY FAVOURITE THING IN THE WORLD + INCREASED PRICE = worst thing that could ever happen to me LOL
If i could, i would definitely eat ice cream on waffles between meals on a daily.but just look at the pricing *cries*





LOOKS GOOD RIGHT LOL
The waffle was super crispy, so crispy i couldnt poke it with my fork if not it'll just crumble.
I'm quite sure it wasn't meant to be this way HAHAHA.

We ordered the salted caramel which turned out extremely salty and super duper sweet so i really hated it :( but the chocolate one was not too bad!
Well but i think it wouldn't be worth travelling all the way here again just for their ice cream. Maybe if you live nearby you could give it a try.

Food Rating = 5.8/10
Service = 6/10 idk why the preparation took 30 mins though we were the only customers and the ice cream was served so damn messy lol




Outfit:

Doggy Printed Tee from my boyfriend's wardrobe hehe he got it from Cebu!
Dungaree from Carousell
Weaved Backpack from Boracay woohoo
Shoes from Keds (i've worn them over 10-20 times but they still look so new)




SECOND STOP:
LOLA'S CAFE!!!!

Here's the address: 
5 Simon Rd, 545893 (just 5 mins walk away from hougang mrt!)

It was like a must to come here cause everyone has been talking about it saying it's super cheap and nice.
However DO NOTE, that their waiting time is always about 1-2 hours so call this number 6284 0349 to make a reservation A DAY before going there!
Stupid us never thought about making reservations so we ended up waiting for an hour.
We actually walked around the whole area to check out other restaurants cause we were so hungry we couldn't wait any longer LOL.
Plus the weather was just ridiculously hot. Thank god we waited though! The food was really not too bad ~



At lola's they really squeezed as many tables as they could with that small rented space similar to Saveur but somehow it was thankfully not as noisy!
As mentioned in my previous post,when i talked to Ritche while dining at Saveur,i was literally shouting and i couldn't hear what he was saying though the tables were tiny LOL.
I am emphasizing on the fact that there isn't much space in the cafe not because i'm complaining, but so you guys know not to go there and sit for hours talking to your friends cause it'll be uncomfortable, plus people will be staring at you for hogging the table for hours! It's a typical eat and go kind of place in my opinion.



Pork Stew that was really really good in my opinion. I would rate this a 9.5/10!
Can you believe that it's only $13 NETT? It is wayyyy more filling than it actually looks i swear


Duck Leg that was a little overcooked and the sauce around it was just extremely sweet :(
Didn't really like it but i guess it's also because they have too many orders so it's pretty hard to cook the meat just right.
Would rate this a 7/10, i have no idea whether i'll give it another chance the next time i'm there though hahaha. Their menu is super limited!
I'll tell you what they have; duck leg, pork stew, beef burger, spaghetti
That's all they have for dinner LOL we had a super hard time choosing!!!



Ending the post with a picture of my boyfriend hehehehe
Have you seen a photo of him WITHOUT his phone? N-E-V-E-R
I think he might protect his phone with his life :'( not me tsk. What's with guys and their love for electronics LOL


Alright that's all i have for this post! Wootz there'll be more to come real real soon :)
It's just 5 DAYS TO TIOMAN YESSAH

Till next time <3
