Swensens @ Holland Village is a 2 story outlet that is opened 24 hours. It is seldom crowded but the seating arrangements are not conducive for large group gatherings so do not plan one here. Nevertheless, if you are feeling hungry after a night of drinking at the pubs in Holland V and crave something fried, this is a good place to do. Or if you want a dessert.

As for the food, i had a Fish and Chip (see below). The fish was a little dry but otherwise quality of food wasn't that bad.

I also ordered an Earthquake which wasn't as big and filling as i imagined it to be. The scoops of ice cream were really tiny and they melted very fast so we had to scramble to save them. Nevertheless, this is a good thing for those who tend to be too full for desserts because its portion is certainly manageable (we shared among 3 of us).

I wanted to get something light and creamy so I got the salmon n mushroom pasta. It was ok. Nothing so great. It was too creamy. I did not expect it to be like that. It was light however, it is not a dish that i would want to eat again. The service on the other hand was very good.

I love Swensens for both their food and desserts. I've been dining at Swensens since I was a kid. I used to love their kids' meals too.This time, I only opted for the frozen yoghurt selection, since I already had dinner elsewhere.I ordered the Oreo and Hazelnut blend selection. It was really good, smooth, full of flavors and toppings and creamy.

One of the best thing to eat at Swensens is their Fish & Chip. It is crispy and really smooth inside. The generous amount of golden fries complements the dish. I particularly like Swensens at Holland V as it is 24 hours and it is easy to grab dinner there. But parking space was a bit of a hassle to find. The midnight menu is limited but would be enough to fill your stomach with. The crowd was ok, you rarely see big families. Maybe big crowds of young people who don't sleeps at night so i prefer

Ice cream is my favourite and I simply love the banana boat spilt at Swensens. We have three different flavours of ice cream, banana and the waffles. The sauce dressing adds richness to the taste. It costs around $10 each. The dining area was cosy and it was chilling at Swensens for desserts with friends.

For mango apricot fish, the batter was fried to crispy and seasoned lightly. However, the batter could be done better by dripping the oil away. Thus I won't feel like smacking lip-gloss onto my lip. Afterall, their dishes were acceptable for a simple fare.

One thing that i like about the swensen at holland village is that, it opens 24 hours, and even the student privilege on weekdays, is valid 24hours. I can have my student meal even in the middle of the night!I went for the chendol ice cream, which earns me a glare from friends. According to them, i can have a decent chendol for as low as $2. But, it is just different. And it is really worth a try, did not regret my decision. It tasted just like a normal chendol and comes with all the necessary i

And it is really worth a try, did not regret my decision. It tasted just like a normal chendol and comes with all the necessary ingredient, but it is creamier.

The staffs there were not very attentive. Had to wave at them several times before they would come over with the bill.

My ANZ credit card offers a complimentary fish-and-chip with any main course ordered that ends today so without much hesitation, we set off to the nearest branch at Holland Village which we found out is a 24 hours outlet.

Service was excellent and efficient maybe cause we were seated at the front row and could be seen easily.

For appetizer, we had fried mushroom which really taste like fried mushroom.

He ordered his lamp chop and I get the complimentary Fish and Chips. I felt that eating this fish and chips is like eating MacDonald's Fillet-O-Fish if there were two bun now. The breaded fish with its mayo sauce really tasted like the fillet in the burger. The two small potion of the fish is akin to eating double fillet-o-fish and the price is a big contrast. No wonder it's always this fish and chip that comes with the complimentary.

For dessert, I have my all time favourite since school days - Sticky Chewy Chocolate. While I find it heavenly back in the school days, now as I have eaten more variety and exposed to other brands of ice-cream, I find that it was not as good. Yes, it still the same old ice-cream, the sticky sticky chocolate still there with the chocolate chips but once the sticky chocolate and the chips are gone, leaving it with the plain chocolate ice cream, it doesn't taste as good anymore.

Overall, still a nice lunch.

Was hanging out with a friend at Holland Village. We were looking for food and deciding what to have and which restaurant to go. There were actually too many choices available at Holland Village, its too many restaurant to choose from until we were both confused. In the end, we settle for something safe! That is swensen's! Haha. Has odered their breakfast set since i have never tried it before. Yummy, everything is just nicely done, not overly cooked. Cos i really hate food that is overly done.

Swensens has been made much affordable ever since they introduced the 1 for 1 deal @ $9.80.You may order any of their pastas, pizzas and even their ice cream!

If you want to get something light, i would recommend the mozarrela cheese sticks which is $7.90 or the hot us fries & dips which is less that $7.

Imagine ordering chicken rice without chicken? Or fish ball noodle without fishball?
It actually happened to me even though I did not order it.

I ordered Chicken Salad and it actually came without any chicken !

I was shocked and angry. Apparently, the chef FORGOTTEN about the most important ingredient.. to me.

I think the chef must have FORGOTTEN to shred some chicken flicks from the Rodeo Chicken Wings that we ordered.

Shall not comment more on the chicken-less salad even though they offered a plate of sliced chicken for me to mix into the salad.

The Rodeo Chicken Wings tasted ok even though it would have been much better if it was served hot. The sauce is sweet with a taste of tomato and herbs.
