La Lola Flies to Singapore!

La Lola has been spoiling us with its freshly made churros and its rich chocolate dip since December 2014. Now with 16 strong stores nationwide and offering a mix of sweet and savory bites and drinks, La Lola is ready to fly and spread happiness outside the Philippines.

La Lola Churreria flies to Singapore!

Yes, the brand that was conceptualize and grew in Manila is now on its way to Clarke Quay, Singapore. 

Love at First Bite: Rico Rico

SM Aura’s food court is known to be a fancier version of your usual food hall. With more premium options to choose from, you’d have to shell out more cash for a meal. I wouldn’t mind spending a few extra hundreds if it means that I'd get a “good meal.” And that is exactly what I got from Food on Four’s new player. 
 
Hello, Rico Rico.

This new paella place caught my interest when it opened a few months ago. Vibrant colors and DIY paella were what caught my attention. And I grew even more curious when I found out that this brand is the brainchild of the group handling Las Flores and Rambla, restaurants known to serve superb Spanish dishes. But my schedule didn’t permit me to try this place sooner.

La Lola Churreria Matcha Churros

I have dreamt of Matcha Churros ever since R messaged the Matcha Cult Group of looloo about it. But I heard the sad news that all La Lola branches do not have it. Apparently, they were sold out. (I was not convinced though as I didn't see a single post about it.) 

Anyway, since La Lola ignored C's IG message, I looked for SM Aura branch's number and messaged them. That was when I found out that they ran out but will be serving more soon. I asked them to message me when they have it again and waited...

Then I got a sweet message this morning from La Lola saying that Matcha Churros is once again available! Weeee! (I have to admit, I wasn't expecting them to message me based from previous experiences where I requested to be updated.) 

I went to the SM Aura branch during lunch and there I saw... Matcha Churros! It was love at first sight, smell and touch. 

I got the smallest pack (6s, PHP245) and had it to go.

It was your usual churros covered with matcha and drizzled with white chocolate. It was sooooo good! 

It was crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside. It wasn't very sweet and the matcha taste was strong enough to please matcha lovers.

I just hope that they offer this per stick. An order of 6 is too much for me. 

Aside from SM Aura, La Lola Matcha Churros are also available in UP Town Center, Estancia, SM North Edsa, Serendra, Eastwood, SM Megamall and Robinson Manila.

Love at First Bite: La Lola Churreria

A few weeks ago, I saw a Nokia Snake Level 10 line while buying taho at Powerplant Mall. Apparently, there’s a new craze in town and it’s the churros of La Lola Churreria. New? Yes. Yummy? I heard. Game? Definitely!!! Long queues never fail to make me curious.

Hello, La Lola Churreria!

We got to the place around 1 PM and the line was more manageable that time so we decided to join the craze.

I wanted to try all but K and E were hesitant with the idea as we were still going to visit Salt for lunch and it could kill our appetite. (And I was thinking… right! As if that could kill my appetite! I even had sorbetes before heading to the churros place.)

Anyway, we all compromised and just ordered Classic Churros (PHP110, medium 6 pcs | PHP195, large 12 pcs | PHP275 Xlarge 18 pcs) and Xuxos or stuffed churros—Nutella, Strawberry and Peanut Butter (PHP120 each). We also got a large Hot Chocolate Dip (PHP100).

 

The Classic Churros with Hot Chocolate Dip were served on a paper cone and you may eat it while walking or stick the cone on the table (the tables have holes for the pointy part of the cone) and eat it while people watching.
