This outlet at Orchard ION is one of the few Swensens outlets that has a local menu and includes local dishes like Mee Goreng and Chicken Rice.
In addition to the local dishes, we had our usual favourites -
Calamari Rings and Caesar Salad.

The Caesar Salad was absolutely fresh and crunchy and the lime mayo dressing went really well with it. The Calamari rings were piping hot and crispy.
We always have our usual drinks - hot coffee and ice lemon tea.

Everything was perfect until our decision to try the local cuisine.
It wasn't up to our expectations. The Claypot Laksa looked and smelt good, but had only an average taste. Something was missing.
As for the Crabmeat Fried Rice, it was bland. The Soft Shell Crab that came with it was not well marinated. Overall both those dishes were average, and hence, not to our liking.

Of course, the saving grace for the day was the Gold Rush - never fails to satisfy.

One nagging issue was the presence of houseflies. As this outlet doesn't actually have doors, its open concept allows pests inside. It was quite annoying, trying to Shoosh the fly away! Hopefully the management looks into the hygiene issue.
