What else would you come here for but the ice cream buffet??! Love the variety of ice cream flavours provided. Love their chocolate fondue fountain! The strawberries were tad too sour though. Love the sauces provided. Love the waffles! One exception is their array of cakes were not that appetizing. But nonetheless, though it's a bit too pricey, the choices were superb! No regrets!

fried fish with apricot sauce
crispy fish cod with a bit sour apricot sauce!
the sauce is very refreshing coz its a bit sour,
the fish is fresh and its thick fish fillet, not the dory fish that we always eat..
and the fried battered skin is just so crispy until the last bite..
VERY RECOMMENDED!

One of my best friends brought me here for my birthday! Being the stressful exam period, I hardly had a chance to enjoy myself so this little surprise indeed made my day!

The swensens dessert buffet is worth every cent; mainly because you get to try just about all the desserts; from the ice cream to the sorbets to the waffles to the cookies and not forgetting, the yummy cakes!

There were a variety of cakes to choose from hence there would be something to suit everyone! I personally loved the chocolate fudge cake. It was pure indulgence 7/10

We also other 2 sides - Bruschetta's and Cheese Sticks. They were both amazing. I find the cheese sticks at swensens to be one of the best! Unlike other fast food joints, the cheese tends to be full of liquid and can be rather messy. However, The one's at swensense are really rubbery and melted to perfection 8/10

Swensen's has been on a slight revamp recently and with their latest outlet located at the Orchard MRT, they have taken this opportunity to introduce some new items.

On my first visit, actually on both visits, there were two consistent themes. Firstly, it took me about 20 minutes to find the location, because one would have to temporarily leave the ion and walk through what seems like a dark alley in order to reach to this outlet which is located just above Orchard MRT. The second theme is the entrance, which I tripped on both occasions as I entered due to the raised laminate floors of the restaurant - something to watch out for.

I grew up on Swensen's ice creams, and made sure that I had enough stomach on both occasions to have some. At this outlet there is a buffet option which means that you can have a ton of your favourite ice creams and sorbets. What a treat!

To be honest, I was already drooling for quite some time, at the Swensen’s Ice Cream Buffet, before I actually patronized it. Ice Cream Buffet, and it’s not just any, street-sold Ice Cream, it’s Swensen’s – Chocolate Malt Ice Cream, Sticky Chewy Chocolate – those sundae flavors you always order (so much so that you don’t even have to look at the menu of ice cream sundaes available, lol). After what seemed like ages, I finally got down to Orchard Ion (the only outlet with the Ice Cream Buffet) to meet and greet the awesome line up of ice creams.

There’re over 50 different flavors of ice cream and some 40 odd toppings. The flavors include the classics, some gelato (eg. peach and mango gelato, bitter chocolate gelato, cookies cheesecake gelato), and other favorites (eg. sticky chewy chocolate, cookies chocolate), and the toppings surprised me. I wasn’t expecting the wide yet tasty spread of toppings (which includes nestle crunch chocolate chunks, malt balls, lightly salted biscuits, hazelnut chocolate wafers, smarties etc.). I wouldn’t be surprised if any one of you spammed the toppings upon seeing them. lol. Just don’t, overdo it, or you’ll get some serious overdose of chocolates. lol.

One particular thing I like about this buffet is the ability to re-create the Frosted Chocolate Malt (my most sought-after sundae). Because they have the Chocolate Malt Ice Cream, they have the Malt Balls, and they have the Cold Chocolate Fudge and Liquefied Marshmallow. Awesomeness.

Besides ice cream and their toppings, you can expect a small range of cakes and pies. I personally didn’t want to take the cakes and pies, because they have it in a really generous portion (I’d rather fill my stomach up with more ice cream).

Lined up on the same side (as the cakes and pies) of the four-sided counter is the Chocolate Fondue side. Profiterole (cream puffs), vegetable sticks (and that’s how Pocky is made – vegetable sticks + chocolate fondue dumped three quarter into the stick), sweet red strawberries and marshmallow can be found by the fondue set. Good thing the chocolate fondue isn’t as bitter as some that I’ve tried.

One last thing to touch on – they have quartered-up waffles. It’s recommendable to just try it (you can walk over to the ice cream section and ask for a scoop or two on the waffle) once, nothing more.

—-> NOTE #1: Each bowl can only go up to a maximum of 5 scoops of ice cream. Don’t be humiliated like I was when I asked for the sixth scoop. What’s funny is, I don’t get the reason why we can’t go more than 5 scoops per bowl – it’s not like the bowl will crumble with the weight of the sixth.

—-> NOTE #2: You can stay there for as long as your stomach can withstand the sugar. If it means staying there from the time they open till they finish stacking the plates and wiping the tables, so be it.

Price :: $18.90++ / $12.90++ with a food order (not inclusive of soup and sides)

The mushroom and salmon rice looks delicious on their menu's picture as well as the actual plate but the salmon they use is not fresh but rather it think it's smoke salmon (hope i'm right) as it's very salty.Rice is okay with sauce and cheese grilled but the thin slices of shitake mushrooms are tasteless and the salmon too much salty.Overall, i would not order this dish again whenever i go Swensen.Restaurant was crowded and service quite fast even billing we dont have to wait too long.

This outlet is probably famous for their dessert buffet more then anything else. Tucked near the mrt station at orchard; I got lost the first time I tried to find this place. However, its away from all the crowds and noise so I guess some treasures are worth finding. I have wanted to try their dessert buffet for the longest time and was so glad I finally found a few friends who were interested in a sugar rush spree as well.They had both the milk chocolate fondue as well as the white chocolate fo

However, its away from all the crowds and noise so I guess some treasures are worth finding. I have wanted to try their dessert buffet for the longest time and was so glad I finally found a few friends who were interested in a sugar rush spree as well.

They had both the milk chocolate fondue as well as the white chocolate fondue. It not only looked pretty but was tasted great as well. Paired with the fondue's was the selection of strawberries, marshmallows and cream puffs (which were excellent). The strawberries were fresh and tasted sweet.

After much gobbling, we decided to order a side of mushroom pizza to give out taste buds a break from the sugar. The pizza was served pipping hot and there was a generous amount of cheese as well as mushrooms.

There were also a variety of cakes as well as cookies - they tasted pretty good as well. The cakes were fresh and also covered for hygiene reasons and the macadamia cookies were irresistible! Overall, I pretty much think its value for money looking at the variety we're presented with.

We were having a gathering at swensens when I noticed quite a few people drinking their milkshake and it looked really good! Hence I decided to order their malted ice cream milkshake. I chose macadamia nut as the ice cream flavour. It was yummy! It was so creamy and thick. And the taste of macadamia nut was strong. But about half a cup, I felt that it was too sweet

Venue: Very hard to find due to the construction around the MRT.

Service: Slow and unattentive. I stood at the waffle station for 10 minutes before anyone came over. At the ice cream station, it was the same story. I'm straining my neck looking for some one to serve, trying to get the attention of the staff, but they seem to excel at pretending they are busy and did not see me. One patron was so mad from waiting for service that she actually yelled out "HEY COME OVER HERE". The staff just stand around chatting. Same in the Bugis branch.

Value: You get loaded up easily on the pancakes and waffles and then have little room left for the ice creams! Not worth it unless you ONLY have ice creams.

Food: There's a strawberry chocolate fondue and a white chocolate fondue. Lot's of toppings to choose from. Not good quality of course - just the basic quality. Lots of ice creams and gelati to choose from. Lots of cakes and slices as well. Had their sundaes in another visit and those were decent enough. Very average food and quality. Things seem to have been sitting there a while. Doesn't look too hygienic either.

Cony dog, i don't quite like the hot dog cos there was this after taste which tasted a bit like medicine to me. BUT THE BUN WAS GOOD. which was also served late. Ham and cheese, which was really good. Too cheesy but cousin love it. Last one before i move on to the dessert it was Spicy Sardine Pizza. This is new. They don't have the mushroom and cheese. So sad. but Never mind this pizza was really good. Spicy especially. For dessert we ordered Sticky Chewy Chocolate and GingerBread House( this is specially for the Christmas Season) tasted really good. DO TRY THIS OUT!

i thought of going for light snack and the only thing which came to my mind was Swensen's mozzarella cheese stick. Whenever i go to dine in at swensen, i will have to always order this dish. you can dip it in with chilli sauce and eat it. it will double the taste. the cheese stick is so awesome that i would even think about ordering it again. but i won't cos need to control myself.

Wanted to have something light and being the cheese lover that I am,I happened to pass by Swensens and spot the Mozarella Cheese sticks on the menu.Instantly went in and ordered that.The first time I ate it,i was sooo in love with it.But after awhile I got a little sick of it.I initially expected the cheese to be abit melted and ooze out but the cheese was very stuck together and rubbery. Prefer pastamania's cheese sticks!

Thanks to a birthday 1-for-1 voucher, we finally decided to try out the Swensen's ice cream cum dessert buffet available at its Ion branch.We first tried the cakes at the buffet counter. Sadly they were disappointing. Mostly too dry, except the New York Cheesecake which is an ice cream cake & it's pretty nice. But still can be improved because it felt too frozen! hahaWe decided to hit the wide selection of ice cream flavours available and try out its toppings to create our personalised sundaes.

Our first creation consisted of 3 scoops of ice cream (but I only remember about the lychee flavour & 1 sorbet which was nice
) and toppings like peach, Mars bar, Kit Kat, Smarties, Nata De Coco etc.

The next creation we made consisted of Chendol, Lime Sorbet and Mint ice cream, topped with Smarties, nuts and Wafer. The Chendol ice cream had too strong a coconut flavour added and we didn't like it. The mint also tasted funny, and the lime sorbet was so sour that it woke us up immediately haha. So sad so many ice cream flavour selection were wrong. We also tried the Passion Fruit flavour which was not very nice too.

The warm waffle was very crispy. Though a bit weird to put on the waffle, but it was a delight to have found the Sarsi ice cream in the buffet since Sarsi had been my childhood favourite hee. The Wild Wild Berries ice cream was very smooth & yummy too.

The original buffet price is $18.90++ if you do not order any other food, but costs $12.90++ wif any food order. We both think that Swensen's desserts can be missed (except the waffles), but the numerous ice cream flavours & toppings available are wonderful!
