Tomorrow I’m posting an Uninvited Opinion write-up about Lolla in Singapore.
“Lolla’s easy-going spirit and capable, crowd-pleasing dishes just delighted me. It is a neighbourhood restaurant for which I had to travel almost 4000 miles.”
Check in tomorrow!

I just spent the last week in Singapore, and I’m terrible at posting while I am away, especially during work trips.
Life is experiential, so I take the little time I get to go out, enjoy, feel, taste and see.
That was the whole point of starting EatGoSee.

Happy Friday talk with a glass of English sparkling by Wyfold. Very full of toast, baked apples, brioche and green apple bite. It’s 2017 so it’s got some age on it.
