Went to Swensen's on a weekday afternoon. The service was really slow even though there seems to be very little customers. The place seems to be short-handed. Ordered a soup, a salmon and mushroom baked rice and a cookie summit. The soup was bland. (Had to add salt myself) I've tried other outlets soup before, but it wasn't bland like this. Perhaps I was just unlucky. The salmon and mushroom baked rice had a more overpowering taste. The chef might have put too much sauce with the baked rice coz

Went to Swensen's on a weekday afternoon. The service was really slow even though there seems to be very little customers. The place seems to be short-handed. Ordered a soup, a salmon and mushroom baked rice and a cookie summit. The soup was bland. (Had to add salt myself) I've tried other outlets soup before, but it wasn't bland like this. Perhaps I was just unlucky. The salmon and mushroom baked rice had a more overpowering taste. The chef might have put too much sauce with the baked rice coz I don't feel like I'm eating rice at all.

Out of the three, the one that I love the most is the cookie summit. Nothing can go wrong with this dessert as the ice cream was prepared long ago. I love the chocolate-coated cherry which was on top of the whole sundae.

My friend and I were at town and so we decided to dine in at Swensens. It was a weekend, hence it was really crowded. It took quite a while before we placed our order. About 20 minutes later, our food arrived. The wait was really long. we ordered the baked rice and the quarter chicken. the chicken is tender and nicely grilled, and the baked rice is very fragrant with the melted cheese on top.

Swensen's ice cream is delicious. I love their ice cream. their ice cream is always rich in flavour and creamy too. This is their chewy chocolate. It is indeed very chewy. I love it as their chocolate taste is very rich. It does not taste like normal chocolate!!! Theirs have an indescribable taste. Every bite, the ice cream always can carry off their chocolate flavour. Even though there are no cookie or nuts in it, just eating it like this is already simply delicious.

Went to Swensen's for an outing with friends, we had 11 of us so we reserved a table earlier time. Swensen's is famous for the ice cream but I feel that the food is a Los very high standard! I ordered the chicken cutlet with fries.. The chicken cutlet is very nice, crispy and crunchy, very well seasoned but not over salty, the meat is tender and juicy but not oily too. I like the fries Which is soft inside and crispy outside..

We used to frequently visit Swensen's, particularly for their excellent waffles - probably one of the most fulfilling waffle ice-creams in Singapore. Normally I will go for their main course for the fish & chips. It is cheap; however I already have my dinner, so I decided to settle for dessert, as swensen is supposed to be nice for their dessert.it is my second ice cream shop, in my favourite list.

I went with my daughter to swensens during the happy hour. During this time, there are relatively less people in the restaurant so the service was much more efficient and we did not have long to wait. The fries come with mayo and chilli sauce. These are like the normal fries outside, but the fries are thicker and have less salt.

I ordered their Mushroom Baked Rice. Waiter said that it would be served in 15 minutes so I timed it. And boy, was she right on the dot! I got my order in 15 minutes despite the busy restaurant.

I liked how the top was a bit burnt, it added to the crunchy taste and character to the whole dish. They were also very generous with their mushrooms. It seemed like with every bite that I took, there were a few mushrooms in it. The sauce also drowned the rice in just the right amount for me. DELICIOUS!

One should know to make such business in the service industry. The food may be edible, good, or excellent that I could lick the plate over without any shame, but when the service lags badly because of one particular staff you might have missed to train, the entire experience of eating just drops down the drain.

To the service girl named Joan. By bumping into us without saying a word of sorry, scolding us instead of answering a simple question of "how long more do we have to wait, are there available tables yet" and slamming the chair and menus on our table, we are clearly not impressed.

You've messed with the wrong group of people where we have worked ourselves in this service industry.

Our meal came late as well, as it was fully loaded with a lot of people on this weekday evening was heavily packed for real. We queued for almost an hour straight with patience.

Chicken wings however were a bit of a cure, with sprinkles of pepper and salt, and it was tender and juicy.

Furious, we filled in the feedback form and personally gave it to the manager but yet she was also so busy that she didn't have time to even read. We left with rambling after Joan, but that doesn't mean its the entire team's fault. Only to that particular waitress that you probably didn't listen to your training well...

A group of us and I went to Swensens to celebrate my friend's birthday.
We ordered a lot of things and once we were done with all the food, one of my friends enquired one of the staff regarding any discounts they had for the birthday girl.

We were all definitely very surprised when the staff said that they give complementary ice cream to people celebrating their birthday and all that's required is proof of their birth date.
My friend was then served this huge plate containing ice cream, whipped cream, cherries and a banana in the middle with a candle litted at the top.
We were obviously very surprised that Swensens did such things for their customers and the birthday girl was truly delighted.

The complementary ice cream served had a few different flavours such as Strawberry and Chocolate and as always, Swensens ice cream is of great quality.
All in all, this was definitely a great experience and the food (apart from the ice cream) was above average.
The service was great as well!

I am really disappointed with the service at Swensens Dhoby Ghaut. My mum and I were waiting outside for about 2 minutes before one of the staff actually bothered to attend to us. The rest of them saw us but chose to ignore. I was craving for pizza so I ordered the Spicy Sardine. It is a new dish in Swensens, so I decided to give it a try.

Since i always order Black pepper seafood, i thought why not we try the fish and chips in swensens. the fish was really good. crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Dip it with the tartar sauce. the fries were really well fried. and the coleslaw was really tasty with pineapples. but i don't really fancy that so i didn't eat it. Overall fish and chips is very very tasty.

Good place to come for after meal ice cream. i highly recommend their apple or banana crumble sizzling pans. Even though the menu says each sizzling pan serves two, I suggest you share with a third person because unless you are really hungry, this dish is hard to polish off. Also, if you do not have a sweet tooth, then it might be better to go for other dessert alternatives like dark chocolate ice cream.

Also, if you do not have a sweet tooth, then it might be better to go for other dessert alternatives like dark chocolate ice cream. My favourite main course would be the curry chicken baked rice, VERY fragrant. All my friends were really jealous because my baked rice smelled so good. The only complaint would be to make it less oily – I felt really guilty looking at the oil while eating! Other dishes we ordered were the mushroom baked rice(see image) and fish and chips. I felt that the mushroom baked rice was too cheesy, no complaints with the fish and chips.
