\"\"<\/p>\n

The Place\u00a0Located along Stanley Street is a new\u00a0Spanish restaurant I checked out recently \u2013\u00a0Casa Lola, the latest concept by the team behind FOC Restaurant. The idea of Casa Lola is to mirror after a rustic Barcelona\u00a0 neighbourhood bodega.\u00a0The interior is a narrow shophouse setting with warm lighting and exposed brick walls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Food\u00a0Expect a mix of cold and hot tapas, mains and desserts on the menu, I started with some cold tapas dishes \u2013\u00a0\u201cSalmorejo\u201d, Chilled Tomato Soup,\u00a0Iberico\u00a0Ham, Boiled Egg & Croutons\u00a0(S$14) and Smoked Cantabrico\u00a0 Anchovies with Foie Gras Ganache & Brioche\u00a0(S$16\/2pcs). I am not so much a fan of cold soup, but I did enjoy the anchovies and foie gras brioche which spots a smooth and rich taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For hot tapas, the\u00a0Crab Croquettes with Caviar and Aioli\u00a0(S$16)\u00a0is\u00a0straightforward and easy on the palate, whereas the Crispy Plantain Fritters, with Avocado Cream, Honey & Siracha\u00a0(S$9\/2pcs) is quite a unique combination of avocado cream and honey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Served tableside, one of my\u00a0favourite\u00a0dishes of the evening is the\u00a0\u201cHuevos Rotos\u201d with King Prawns \u201cAl Ajillo\u201d Rich Garlic Sauce\u00a0(S$32). Think crisp,\u00a0golden-fried potatoes capped with a runny fried egg and\u00a0al\u00a0ajillo\u00a0prawns. The staff helped to mix it all up by breaking the yolk and the overall combination and\u00a0flavours\u00a0is full of umami.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For\u00a0mains, I tried their\u00a0Seasonal Paella with \u201cDinamita\u201d Rice Molino Roca\u00a0(Seasonal price, range between S$38-S$68) which uses\u00a0premium\u00a0Molino Roca \u201cDinamita\u201d\u00a0rice. The texture of the paella is moist though I wish the edges could be crispier and more burnt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For dessert, I had their\u00a0Chocolate Cake with Layers of Manjari 66% Dark Chocolate Ganache\u00a0(S$18) which is a rich ending for chocolate lovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rants\u00a0It is\u00a0a tight space where tables are set closely together. There\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0much space to store bags either.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Will I Return Again?\u00a0For a casual Spanish meal in the CBD, Casa Lola is\u00a0an option\u00a0to check out. That said, the layout is more suited for couples or small groups.\u00a0<\/p>\n
