Swensen's

The swensens chain has been around for so many years... It has withstood the times of inflation and yet still manages to keep the typical Singaporean crowd happy with their icecream! My colleagues and I decided to give it a try for lunch, they have a promotion whereby.. Any main course comes with either a free side, sundae or drink. I have a sweet tooth and ordering a $16.90++ lobster roll comes with a free $10.90++ chocolate sundae? :) can't say no to free food!!! the wait for the food was negligible but the wait for the dessert took a disappointing 20 minutes making my colleagues wishing we had already paid and left. But my chocolate crunch sundae did not disappoint! :) I would love to try more sundaes and at the rate of their lunch promos.. I'll def be back for more!…Read More

To me, a birthday is kind of not complete if there's no cake. Usually if i'm the organizer, I will surely include a cake =) If you are getting sick of the usual cake, i'm sure ice cream cake will appeal to all regardless of young and old! I will think of Swensen's first whenever i need an ice cream cake. I don't have a particular favorite, will just pick something that i like on that day. For the size and portion, i think Swensen's ice cream cake are reasonably priced. Always got good feedbacks from family and friends =) …Read More

I came to this outlet at Nex as I had two meal vouchers to redeem - a choice of chicken salad or aglio olio sphaghetti, plus a scoop of ice cream.Once I sat down (I was earlier than my hubby), the wait staff served me promptly and asked if I wanted iced or warm water without any prompting or indication from my part - good service :)The chicken salad came in a large bowl with a good mix of fresh vegetables. I especially liked the pine nuts given. The chicken slices were rather tasty too. The salad fork they gave was very huge though, I find it too unwieldy. It's good that the thousand island sauce was given on the side so you can choose how much you want to put inside your salad. Definitely a healthy meal. You'll be pretty full too if you finish the whole bowl of salad.- Chicken saladThe aglio olio looked simple but it tasted really good. The spaghetti was cooked till al dente and plenty of olive oil and garlic was used to sautee the noodles with the mushrooms. The flavoring was also done well. I enjoyed this simple but well-cooked dish.- Aglio OlioThe sticky chewy chocolate was quite nice although it seemed to be a bit different based on what I tasted a long time ago. The chocolate seemed slightly more "artificial". Or perhaps my taste buds are now more stringent...LOLI do not particularly like the color of the lime ice cream but taste-wise, it's still alright. It's quite tangy and refreshing.- Sticky chewy chocolate and lime ice cream …Read More

Had my lunch in this Swensen's outlet at Nex. The restaurant environment is quite cooling and spacious, services are also quite friendly too. Have bought the Salmon 'N' Mushroom pasta. At seventeen dollars, this is quite delicious and portion is also quite generous. The pasta is quite chewy and not really that soggy. The cream sauce is very fragrant and quite thick in texture as well. The sliced salmon fish is very fresh and soft. Would consider to come back again to try other pasta dishes. …Read More
