My favourite western hangout, especially in Central where there is the least people here! Had a quick dinner with my family today at Swensen's. The service was quite okay, mostly served by Filipinos but they were not the smiling friendly welcoming staff you get from other restaurants. IN fact, my mother tried to strike up a conversation with them but they just looked away! (Even though they had nothing to do).Bought a Beef Sourdough 49'ers. It cost about $14. It was filled with beef patty, onion
Bought a Beef Sourdough 49'ers. It cost about $14. It was filled with beef patty, onions, cheese slices and a soft white bread. The fries was as deliciosu as always, and they have this United States flag stuck in-between to make sure the beef is cooked. I honestly have a hard time deciding which was nicer, chicken or beef sourdough. My verdict? BOTH Is equally nice. But I honestly felt that they should change the flag to 'Singapore flag' especially during the month nearing to August, our national day. Feeling patriotic
We bought ourselves a set meal, an additional top up of $5 for a bowl of soup of the day, ice-cream, and coffee or tea. The soup was delicious! Since when Swensen's serve poor soup? I love how they make sure all their food is served with quality.
ALso bought a plate of fish.. very small piece, but cooked/grilled/roasted in such a premium quality. The cup you see there is olive oil, and it goes really well when you dip the fish with it. Doesn't have a fishy smell, in fact, it smells fagrant that makes you hungry for more.
Since it's my mom's birthday month, she gets a free Sundae with the Swensen's Card! (U.P $6.90). She decided to go for her favourite mint ice-cream, and woah, it was soooo minty I felt like it tasted exactly like extra minty mentos sweet Get ready to feel like you're in an igloo, especially when the air-con is blowing full blast at you. Anyway, do sign up for their Swensens' card because there's a lot of great benefits going along with it. Although it lasts only one year, you can collect points in the card and redeem it with value (200 points get to have $10 off your next visit!). If you get 1000 points you'll be able to have $100 off and also a set of dining vouchers. Good deal, eh? Swensen's have a great dining layout where you get privacy from other tables, and enough space to walk in-between each table. I love the stained glass, it goes really well with their brown furniture (tables) and maroon-coloured chairs. Swensen's makes me feel happy like a child again, which makes me remember their 'I'm soooo going to Swensens' theme is really suitable! ALthough the campaign ran for only a short time, I can really remember that forever.
