Once again i'm going to review on another yu sheng but this came as kind of a surprise to me as i didn't really expect to find yu sheng at Swensen's. So i end up having this for dinner and end it with my favourite ice cream =)Swensen's yu sheng is quite unique in it's own way. Instead of salmon sashimi, they used smoked salmon. Mushrooms was included too and it has lots of lettuce + shredded carrot. The dressing was quite different from the usual but it's not bad. For $23.80++, this is pretty g

During Chinese New Year, a lot of restaurants has Yu Sheng, also known as raw fish salad on the menu. Swensen's has its own version of Yu Sheng which is priced at $28.80 for takeaway. Today office has ordered the yu sheng for the staffs to enjoy. The yu sheng is packed in red boxes. I am surprised to find lettuce in the yu sheng which is uncommon, and some more in big pieces.

I love the Fish and Chips at Swensen's because the fish is fresh and crispy ! The fries are also more chunky and not salty! I will also recommend their clayfish pasta. The portion is quite big and they added a lot of different ingredients like fish, crab sticks and mushroom. I always end my meal at Swenson with their Coit Tower ice-cream. Simply satisfying after eating it.

After a filling dinner my friends and I popped by for desserts. The durian sundae was what I chose and I had absolutely no regrets. I expected a mild-flavoured durian ice cream but this one packed a punch. Plus, it was surprisingly light and not too heavy - it had just the right amount of cream so it wasn't the least bit 'gelad'. This quickly became one of my favourites, but it unfortunately couldn't 'overtake' my #1 - the Banana Crumble.

Recently went to the Junction 8 branch for dinner with my best friend. It's been a while since i came here so when i see new item on the menu, i decided to try it.

I had the Crab Meat Baked Rice ( requested for extra sauce and with lots of tabasco sauce ). Very nice indeed. Not sure if the extra sauce helps but it seems to blend better with the rice and ingredients.

Nutty Mighty : "Chocolate Peanut Buttercup, Macadamia and Mocha Almond Fudge ice cream crowned with a generous measure of whole macadamia nuts, peanuts, almonds, hot fudge and caramel". The description sounds good, right?? I'm the kind when i like something, i will somehow keep going back for it. So usually for ice cream at Swensen's, i will always just order this. Very satisfying everytime i have it. Shiok!

Was surprised that swensen's not only have their usual western kind of menu, they are now serving singaporean style dish as well! Was feeling a little adventurous so I ordered their laksa to try. Wrong move to have ordered that. The presentation is beautiful but the taste wise if not as good as it seems to be. The laksa gravy is not spicy though it is quite thick with the coconut milk. Portion wise is good enough for 2, but to me it doesnt worth the money I spend. Should have stick to my usual o

Ordered by me, it was a gigantic burger with layers of juicy beef patty, chicken ham, turkey bacon, grilled vegetables, onions and melted cheese topped off followed by a fried egg. It was served with U.S. fries by the side also. It costed me $15.80 per set.

The quality still well maintained and we enjoyed our food here.

It was a busy afternoon - around 12 plus to 1 .
We ordered the banana crumble and french fries together for our "lunch" .
When the dessert came, the person who is serving us made a mistake and left the whole chunk of bananas in one place - originally it should be around the pan (haha!) . He laughed and apologized and we take no offence of it.
The vanilla ice cream is coated with generous amount of maple syrup - I guess and that makes it really sweet . Trying out the cake - it doesn't taste like banana cake - and yes, it crumbles, just like how the dish name suggests it. The ice cream and syrup goes well with the cake - not forgetting the bananas ! Fresh food is a bonus and treat to compensate the calories dense dessert .

The french fries are normal, with their tata sauce and chili sauce . We asked for mayonnaise though

grilled salmon
This Grilled salmon is just normal.Maybe the salmon is too thick,so i feel that it is too dry.
Not smooth enough.

What i can say is, this outlet is not really good.
What i ater before is better, make me quite disappointed about Swensen.
Should go other outlet next time.

Dropped by Swensens for lunch and I decided to try this intriguing pasta dish- Laksa Aglio Olio with King Prawns. It is essentially aglio olio spaghetti mixed with laksa flavoured pesto and served with gigantic king prawns. The pesto is pounded from the pungent laksa leaves, hence explaining the green colour spaghetti. I am personally a big fan of the flavor of laksa leaves, so I really enjoyed this unique east meets west combination. I felt the fragrant laksa pesto really complemented the chewy

The pesto is pounded from the pungent laksa leaves, hence explaining the green colour spaghetti. I am personally a big fan of the flavor of laksa leaves, so I really enjoyed this unique east meets west combination. I felt the fragrant laksa pesto really complemented the chewy, al dente spaghetti. The pasta had some chili slices chopped into the pasta, hence adding a nice spicy flavor dimension to the dish. I was also surprised the promised prawns came out to be as big as shown in the menu picture. It was really fresh and succulent and definitely goes well with the spaghetti.

For dessert, we had banana split, a great Swensen’s classic with scoops of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream garnished with banana, chocolate fudge, strawberry sauce and almonds- which brings our meal here to a nice and satisfying close.

Omelette~ The fillings can choose from onion, cheese, mushroom, etc.I chose the mushrooms and cheese as we are allowed to choose two ingredients. This is the first time i eat omelette without rice, quite nice actually and unique. The portion is quite big. One may not be able to finish it up themselves. The cheese was also given in a generous amount. Good ^^. But however, if eaten around half of it, you will get tired of the cheese as there are abundant of it.Coleslaw is so-so. I think there is m

Coleslaw is so-so. I think there is mild mustard in it. I don't like the taste of it. Fries was also okay.

The baked rice is fragrant Yum Yum!! We just did not like the raisins that were in the rice.The pan pizza was great but its just too small for the price !

A time to relax and enjoy this comfort food. It will definitely be either ice cream or chocolate. Together with my other three friends, we went to Bishan Junction 8 Swensens to eat Fondue. It was nice and yummy, the fondue includes ice cream, mashmellow, fruits , biscuit with a warm chocolate in the middle. All the staff was very friendly and nice to usher us with seats and politely asked for our orders. The Fondue was served to us within few minutes and I can say that this was fabulous. We love
