Chicken Chop
2013-06-23 163 views
Ordered Chicken Chop Set at Swensen's and was rather disappointed with the small serving of Fries and Chicken Chop. The chicken chop was crispy and the meat was pretty tender too however, it wasn't exceptionally delicious. Hence, I don't think that the chicken chop set worth the money that I have paid for which was about $20 (Inclusive of GST and Service Charge).

Furthermore, I think that the service of the restaurant is not very good because they expect customers to proceed to the counter for payment despite the fact that we have to pay for the service charge.

Swensens - Marina Square
2012-03-18 38 views
We decided to have the chocolate fudge ice cream at Swensens located at Marina Square. The ice cream had whipped cream, cookies and cream and waffles toppings which enhance the ice cream experience. It costs around $8 which I felt was worth the money. It was a great place to chill with family and friends.

 I wanted something light so I ordered the soup and also a side, the bruschetta. The soup is the daily soup of the day. I think it is cream of chicken and corn soup. I found it a little salty. If only there is complimentary garlic toast, it would make the soup more perfect since even the slightly salty nature of the soup, it would be better if there is a bread dip.

 The bruschetta is basically tomato salsa on top of garlic butter french loaf. I find the tomato salsa really tangy due to the slight sourness and it is contrasted with the parmesan cheese which is sprinkled on top of the toast. This can be easily replicated at home, but I really appreciate how Swensen does it.

My family of 3 were seated at around 7.30pm and the last dish which is this horrible,tasteless lamb chop was served at 8.45pm on the 23rd Jan 2012 (Chinese New Year)Certainly not worth the wait as the lamp chops were tastless, hard to bite,dressing very oily.It came in 3 pieces of lamp chop but the meat were so tough and this is the worst lamp chop i had ever tasted.Served with peppermint dressing which is so oily and on top of that the waiting time of over an hour.

I have always gone to swensens for ice cream when i have cravings for ice cream, but i was particularly upset at this outlet.

The thing is, i found a fry in my ice cream half way while eating, to my upmost disgust. And i pointed that out to the waiter, who merely take away my cup of ice cream and offer me a new cup. But the problem is, i am already very disgusted by the idea of having a fly in my ice cream, and i do not want even more of that, what more since "another cup" will still come out of the same tub of ice cream. So, he asked what soft drinks i would like to have, and that will be on the house. But, in my opinion, the whole of the first ice cream should already be on the house. Why should i pay for something that is totally not up to the standard At least offer or assure me that they will look into the cleanliness of the restaurant. So, nope. I will not go here ever again.

Being someone who absolutely loves desserts, my friend and I visited Swensens at Marina Square recently and decided upon the Chocolate Fondue.

The fondue most certainly did not disappoint with it's right thickness and taste. However, I wish that the flavours of the ice cream could be chosen by the customer instead as my friend and I are not fans of Mint or Strawberry ice cream. However other than not having the option of choosing the ice cream flavours, the ingredients served were in generous portions and went really well when dipped in the chocolate fondue.

Went there last night at around 8pm and it was not too crowded and i had the seat facing the Pan Pacific and it was brightly lit up because that's the Formula 1 racing area next week.

Ordered the Ocean crunch salad at $13.50 and it was served in a big ceramic white salad bowl with 2 big spoons.
Mixed greens like romaine lettures which were not crisp enough,sliced thin carrots,cherry tomatoes halfed,sliced black olive and very disappointing purple sliced cabbages and instead of seeing fresh white stems from the purple cabbages,they had all turned brown.
On top of these mixed veggies are fish fingers,calamari and breaded prawns served with the so called pineapple BBQ dressing but it taste more like thousand island to me without any hind of pineapples.

Overall i will not order this dish again as it's nothing special and the deep fried are with thick skins and oily which are not to my liking.

ice cream on a sizzling pan
2011-08-19 20 views
I brought my kids to swensens for dessert. We shared something really fattening, the apple crumble. It is served on a sizzling pan, there is the crumble itself, vanilla ice cream, apple cubes and soaking in butterscotch sauce. I like the difference in temperature, the warm crumble with the cold ice cream. It is not too sweet cos the vanilla ice cream is not very sweet, balance out the sweetness of the ice cream.

Blackpepper seafood pasta
2011-06-30 80 views
This is a recommended option for those who love seafood and spicy meals. The portion is sufficient to fill one’s stomach. The first ever dish I tried at Swensens was the black pepper seafood pasta. The fish was not too bad either. The service was okay. On the whole, this dish is a must try for all.

My friend's boyfriend gave her a $20 voucher swensen's for our girls outing. Hence, after dinner, we headed over to Swensen's to indulge ourselves. Friend ordered the Banana Crumble (Sizzling Pan) which was pretty nice initially. But the more you eat, you will actually feel pretty sick about it. Maybe it's a bit too sweet for us (since it's with caramel) and too much butterscotch. I had the Sticky Chewy Chocolate which was rated as one of their All Time Favourite.

I had the Sticky Chewy Chocolate which was rated as one of their All Time Favourite. Needless to say, it's yummilicous! It's definitely thumb up from both of us. And that night, i went to bed being a happy gal but with wider waist.
