OLA Cocina Del Mar Introduces An Adventure of Peruvian-style Dishes
While we might be dreaming of the sights of Machu Picchu, OLA Cocina Del Mar’s limited time menu satisfies our wanderlust with a taste of Peru. Crafted by OLA’s Lima-born owner-chef Daniel Chavez and Head Chef Tamara Chavez, each dish is vibrant and nutritious, while paying homage to the country’s biodiversity at the same time. The journey begins with a classic Ceviche Inka (S$32++), followed by refreshing salad Causa Los Andes (S$28++). Take heart in a Cantonese Peruvian fusion in the form of Arroz Chaufa (S$36++) before ending with an indulgent chocolatey Ola Suspiro Limeno (S$14++).
