So I was having this sudden urge of craving for Swensen's and one afternoon I simply decided to pull my buddy along to this quieter outlet to try out their Christmas menu.
We started off with a simple side from their regular menu, the <b style="line-height: 1.6;">Deep Fried Mushrooms ($6.40) was served hot promptly within 5minutes beyond our expectation. The shiitake mushrooms are plump and fried to golden crisp perfection. Coating them with the tartar sauce that comes along would definitely open up anyone's appetite!
My buddy ordered the Stuffed US Turkey Roll ($19.90) which came along at the right timing as we were almost with finished our side. The turkey roll was nicely sliced into medallions and complimented with mashed potato and fresh garden vegetables of carrots and broccoli. The entire dish was nicely seasoned to our liking.
For the best taste and texture, this is my personal recommended way of eating western cuisine. Ultimate perfection!
For myself, I have ordered the Grilled Piri Piri Chicken ($16.90) which was amazing! From the first mouth, it was obvious that this Portugese-styled chicken was well-marinated for hours then grilled on a really suitable temperature because it was cooked through so nicely which resulted it to be so tender and juicy! It also comes with side salad and raisin rice which were really tasty as well! A definite must order from their Christmas menu!
We were both very full but there's always room for desserts! Between the free drinks or sundaes, we opted for the free sundaes! So we got ourselves <b style="line-height: 1.6;">Hot Fudge Sundae (vanilla icecream with hot fudge & almonds) & <b style="line-height: 1.6;">Merri-Mint Sundae (mint icecream covered with hot fudge) and those ended well!
The one thing I always love about Swensen's is that we'll always be given $5 voucher for every $35 spent. This can also be given to your friends or family if you have no time to visit within the valid period so that always makes this place better than many other casual dining restaurants!
Overall, the service here was really efficient and environment was really nice for a casual date. The food at Swensen's never go wrong so I'm considering on returning soon to try other items from the Christmas menu!
