The end of the year isn’t just about festive feastings – it’s also a time to take a break for yourself to be with loved ones. On this week’s edition of Weekly Grub, you can satisfy your sweet tooth at Churreria La Lola, or go on a new sensorial experience with the Tippling Club‘s new cocktails. And perfect for the early risers, the new breakfast menu at PS.Cafe Martin Road!
Freshly made churros at Churreria La Lola
Craving some authentic Spanish churros but worried about the calories? Get your fix at Churreria La Lola, where they fry their incredibly moist and crunchy churros in 100% olive oil, making them a much healthier alternative. Made fresh in-house daily and sold in 3, 6, 12, and 18 pieces, you can opt for the plain Classicos ($6.5 for 3pcs) or have yours Glazed ($8.50 for 3pcs) with Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, Matcha and Purple Yam. Alternatively, the same flavours can be purchased on the side as a dip for $3 each. We recommend the indulgent Xuxos ($8), a churro stuffed with either Nutella or Dulce de Leche. Unique to the Singapore outpost is the refreshing Yakult Iced Tea ($6.50) and Pork Floss Xuxos ($8), which is filled with garlic aioli and generously topped with pork floss.
Churreria La Lola is located at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street #01-27, The Central, Singapore 059817, p.+65 6610 6802. Open daily from 11am – 10pm.
The Glenrothes releases new Soleo Collection
Award-winning Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, The Glenrothes has unveiled a striking new range of single malt whiskies, The Soleo Collection. For easier drinking, everyday whiskies, look to the light and subtle 12 Years Old (40%) with notes of vanilla, melon, and cinnamon and the citrusy Whisky Maker’s Cut (48.8%) that uses 100% first fill sherry seasoned casks. The two more intense and richer expressions include the 18 Years Old (43%) – a complex and well-rounded expression with note of vanilla, pear, and fresh ginger – as well as their 25 Years Old (43%). Predominantly aged in first fill sherry seasoned casks, this expression delivers heady woody notes with salted caramel, mango, and coriander seeds to taste. All four whiskies are now available in Singapore.
