Looking at their christmas menu, you realize that they have gone "Asian Fusion" with full force, such as Potong supreme pleaser, sweet corn fever and turkey burger!

1. Firecracker Soft Shell Shrimps $8.50++

Firecracker Soft Shell Shrimps

These flavoured bombs are coated with a tasty blend of spices and fried for that perfect crunch. They are outrageously addictive, these lightly battered morsels are served with swensen's very own pineapple BBQ sauce. The batter around the shrimp was salty but not too overpowering, paired with the sweet and savoury sauce, I could devour all the shrimp and yet not feel overly thirsty!

Firecracker Soft Shell Shrimps

They were very generous with the shrimps as I think there had to be at least 20 of them. When I was finally though an entire generation of shrimps. Lo and behold, there was a a bed of thick cut french fries!! The fries together with the pineapple BBQ sauce was a match made in heaven! I highly recommend ordering this just for the sauce!

2. Chicken Istimewa $15.90++

Succulent Chicken laced in a mild spricy fragrant marinate with tastes from exotic Indonesia. The chicken is grilled to perfection, leaving a very juicy and succulent chicken thigh meat. Served with traditional sambal balachan, which I found a bit too spicy and achar. This is the epitome of a rich Asian culture that makes you feel right at home for Christmas.

The chicken was very memorable and there were 2 big pieces. I felt that they could've served you more rice, as the rice portion was very small, and more like a tiny sidedish! The rice could've been a coconut seasoned rice like the nasi lemak kind.

3. Chocopop $5.50++

Chocolate ice cream coated with cocoa pops. I wanted the Ol'Vanilla as it was coated with almonds but after ordering, a staff came back to explain that they had run out and recommended this instead.

Despite it's glamorous look, it was actually completely frozen. It took about 10 minutes of starring at it on a plate, before my teeth could BITE into it. There's chocolate ice cream all the way to the bottom of the cone as well! I loved the creamy, sweet and slightly bitter chocolate ice cream!

Swensen's has developed over the years to become a restaurant chain offering not only ice cream, but fun and friendly casual-dining with a wide selection of hearty food, desserts, beverages, ice cream cakes and takeaway novelties.

For christmas this year, if you looking for a dine-out family meal, do give swensen's a go! Their food offerings might just surprise you like they did to my expectations!
