Merry Christmas dinner at Swensen
2012-01-02 58 views
Didn't make any reservation for Christmas dinner and I last minute wanted to go to IMM so we walked around IMM thinking where to have our Christmas dinner. Western food is our main target since it's Christmas day so eating Western food would have more festive feeling to it. This helps to eliminate alot of choices and in the end we settled for Swensen.

We were really lucky that we didn't even have to queue and we gotten a window seat. The seats are highly partitioned up so we could enjoy a peaceful dinner and able to hear each other's conversation. This beats going to some crowded restaurant which are so noisy that conversing become shouting.

 He turned his pasta into a set with a top up of $5 and I get to enjoy the yummy and creamy soup of the day.

 My Aglio Olio ($11.50) and his Teriyaki Chicken Spaghetti ($15.90). If people says Swenson's food is not nice except for their ice-cream, they probably didn't ordered their spaghetti. I love this two spaghetti. Very tasty and the spaghetti are cooked to the right texture. Not too soggy and not too hard.

 Their dessert, Chocolate Twinkle ($9.90) is worth a special mention too. It's decorated especially for Christmas with candy cane on top and the ice-cream is my favourite Sticky Chewy Chocolate ice-cream. I was turned into a delightly kids once again.

 To add on to my happiness, we received a pack of gift vouchers when we settled our bills. Great dinner!

I thought the service was also really bad.My pizza took half an hour to arrive and when I asked the waitress,she said hadn't heard me just now so it wasn't part of the order. I was really frustrated as I was already so hungry.

One of my worst experiences at swensens yet!

Tinking since my brother's birthday was near & my family often goes to Swensen's for dinner, i decided to surprise my brother on his birthday by bringing the whole family to Swensen @ IMM to celebrate. The place was not very crowded despite it being dinner time, so i didnt have to wait to get a place for 6.

Menu was quite intensive, with some new items added which i didn't see from my last visit. We ordered quite alot of food, plus a 1kg birthday cake since there was no small cake available. Their mushroom soup was served in a sourdough breadbowl, & the taste was nice.


Other foods we ordered include prawn and fruit salad, caesar salad and caesar salad with breaded chicken (we're a salad family, haha), portions are quite small (& quite ex)though, so try to order other food. The thing i liked about their menu was that the heathy symbol was beside those healthier choices, allowing patrons to make a better & informed choice.
We also had baked rice, chicken baked rice, curry chicken baked rice, and mushroom baked rice. They had crackers on top of the curry chicken baked rice, a nice touch to it!


There's free parking at IMM, but parking spaces are usually full, even during wkdays, so do try to take public transport if possible~!

Swensen = ice cream

Swenson does offers a wide range of western meals, and even local delights these days, but they are still better known for their ice cream menu.

Swenson does offers a wide range of western meals, and even local delights these days, but they are still better known for their ice cream menu.

I went for their bbq half chicken this time round, and well, the food that came is slightly different from their menu. The chicken is still there no doubt, but the side dishes changes completely. Though i understand that is not the main part of the dish, i would appreciate if they would let me know in advance. I wanted my corn. The bbq sauce was fine, not too heavy in taste and rather easy to get used to. I am not good with my fork and knife, so the dish became slightly messy after a while.

Had the sticky chewy chocolate ice cream afterwards. The great part of being a student is that there is student promotion during weekdays, 2 ice cream for 9.80 which is very worth it.

The waitress there are not attentive though, i had to order the ice cream three times before they finally remember to take my orders. I felt slightly irritated at the service after a while. The table next to us broke a cup and fragments of the glass flew over to my table area. We told the waitress but they never bother to clean up our area, just the other table.

Fish & Fries
2010-12-21 10 views
Dont know what to order on this place. So i want to give it a try on their Fish & Fries. The food was served with salad appetizer and mayonnaise. So far so good close to Fish & Co. & It suits on my taste. The only thing that i dont like are their lousy amateur crews. Seems like there is no coordination, one my order was lost and needs to reorder again after almost an hr of waiting... grrrr!

An ice-cream place is still an ice-cream place. Nothing more.Swensen is excellent in their ice-cream but average on the other foods.The Yoghurt is normal. Nice and re-freshing but forgettable. The clam chowder is better especially when it is serve is a bun. The clam chowder is tasy with cut carrots inside. But i dislike the shoggy bun.

Ice-Cream

Swensens is famous for their wide variety of ice-crean sundaes.Loves their Banana Split (I'm a serious banana fan) but ordered the Cookie Summit instead.It is tall which comes with layers for Butterscotch ice-cream and cookies.The combination is magicial. The sweet taste with the chrunchy feeling makes it unforgettable. However, I will advise to stay away from the cream on top of the layers
