Lady E Eats

T here's a Lola Nena's next door to our hotel. I've been ignoring Lola Nena's for so long because I'm not a fan of siopao. They serve toasted siopao. One day, after shopping, we decided to go home early so that we won't have a hard time getting a Grab car. We decided to just order a snack from Lola Nena's. I love the red and white interiors.
