Pasarbella & friends go to town



I'm baaaaaaccccckkkkkkkkk! I'm sorry for not updating for almost a month. School has been a bitch. I managed to rewind and relax at the yearly iLight exhibition. This year's exhibition was slightly different as there was an outdoor food market that was organised by Pasarbella. The food market was located at an open space outside MBS that oversees the Singapore skyline. It was so beautiful having the skyline while enjoying my meal with friends, along with music playing at the background. Apart from the scenery, the food selection was amazing. Most of the vendors can be found at Pasarbella's home ground at turf city. I wanted to Omasake Burger but the queue was so long. People had to queue for 45 mins for their burger. I ended up having smoked salmon burger, chili pork sausage, sea bass fish and chips and Sapporo. They did not disappoint! The beer was smooth and the heap of chips that covered the sea bass are yam and sweet potato chips, not regular fries. Ended the night by walking through the exhibition whilst digesting the food I had. It was definitely a good concept to incorporate food in the exhibition.  
If you have yet to visit Pasarbella at turf city, you should. It's like as though you are transported to those markets you see in Europe, when you are there.

Lola's Cafe @ Kovan


I seldom head to the East because it is just too far for comfort.  So since I was there, I took the opportunity to dine at their neighbourhood cafe; Lola's cafe. Lola's cafe can be found opposite Kovan residences, a 5 minute walk from Kovan mrt station. Thus it is easy to locate. I was there alone so I did not have the luxury of trying more than one dish but I heard their chicken wings are popular. So if you are a chicken wing lover, you can try that. I ordered the pork sausage and iced apple tea. Sadly, there was nothing fantastic about the both of them. The sausage was not tender and the only redeeming quality was the nacho sauce that was drizzled on top of the sausage. The iced tea was too sweet and did not feel refreshed after sipping it. Other than the nice service, I will not go for a second visit.
