Turning one is a grand affair and Loola's understands that very well. The semi-fine dining eatery by Awfully Chocolate specialises in contemporary European dishes with Asian touches and recently introduced several new dishes to its already extensive menu – all in the name of celebrating its first anniversary! A whole smorgasbord of starters have been added to the menu and items include Spiced Pumpkin Soup ($12) and Roasted Squash Salad ($18), but if you want a little bit of everything – or if you’re just plain indecisive – Loola’s Board ($32) makes a great choice. It’s full of light bites such as Miso Roasted Garlic Cloves, Baked Cherry Tomatoes, Dates with Serrano Ham, Grilled Octopus (goes great with the accompanying pesto sauce), and sinful Bone Marrow to spread on crunchy Garlic Crostini.
