Earle Swensen's (已結業)

Those were the days that we frequently visited their Vivocity outlet. It has really been a long time since then and this time we visited their JEM outlet.As we made our way into the restaurant, the salad buffer bar wouldn't go unnoticed as its at the left side near to the main entrance.Salad Buffet Bar (Ala Carte - S$15.90) or Free with Any MAINS OrderAll-you-can eat salad bar. A wide selection of compound salads, mixed greens, fruits and a variety of ingredients & garnishings.My own salad creat

The Salad Bar concept was pretty interesting and I managed to create my own refreshing salad! Ingredients at the salad bar was fresh. There were quite a lot of ingredients to choose from!The glass noodles was extremely good! I had 2 servings of it!They even have some cocktail fruits for desserts at the salad bar!I got this slice of ice cream cake... Not impressive; I'd expected more from this because Earle Swensen's sort of specialises in ice cream too... And the ice cream cake didn't live up to

Went with my friend as there was the 1-for-1 promotion. Both of us love pasta so we ordered Fisherman's Favorite Seafood Pasta ($20.90) which stated chef recommendation. However, we ordered it aglio olio style as we didn't like tomato-based pasta. Changing the dish from a tomato-base to an oil-base was a huge mistake. I think the tomato sauce helps add flavor to the seafood. The seafood was not fresh and without the tomato sauce it quite bland. Squid was tough to chew, prawn was tasteless except

I really enjoy going to Earle Swensen's. Good thing that now they open another branch at JEM.Look at the tantalizing salad bar, so delicious yet healthy! You are almost sure leaving the place with full stomach.You can enjoy the salad bar free with order of main course.I ordered grilled black pepper chicken, the taste and the quality of the food is similar to those from Swensen's.This is fried chicken cutlet ordered by a friend.Overall, we were satisfied. There was a one-for-one deal going on so

I wonder if Earle is still alive, because he made a right decision in starting his restaurant selling ice-cream. Look at how the business is thriving now! Earle Swensen's is a premium brand of Swensen's, and they offer more premium choices at a premium price.I met really great service officers. Because it was my dad's birthday, we feared not getting a seat. Everyone else was stuck in a jam and I was the earliest, so I decided to reserve a seat first. I got a really comfortable round-table settin

Have bought their Fishermans Catch (S$27.90++) and also the milk shake Float (S$7.90++) from this Earle Swensen's outlet at JEM. The restaurant was quite comfortable with very spacious layout and cooling dining environment. Service was warm and friendly too. THe fishermans catch was quite delicious, with fresh and crispy deep fried prawn fritters and love those crunchy and not too oily French fries. The chocolate milk shake float was really sinful, with very thick and creamy milkshake with a

There is a promotion going on in this outlet, which is that when you order a main, you will be entitled to their salad bar buffet. Thus, I ordered a main which consist of a thin steak, two prawns, one crayfish and rice. The salad bar has alot of varieties, which include DIY salads and those ready mixed salads. Quite a number of dressings and toppings provided. Most of the ready mixed salads taste nice. Also ordered the banana split ice cream, the ice creams consist of strawberry, chocolate and v

The restaurant ambience was ok, not too crowded, considering JEM is a new mall and trying to park the car was hell traffic.The staff were friendly and helpful.I was just giving this place a shot since I haven't really had Earle Swensens before as compared to the "normal" swensens.I ordered “Earle's poultry combo “ it wasn't a lot, so I had to eat my fill from the salad bar. The taste was alright but doesn't justify the cost. I would just eat normal swensens.

JEM is the latest new shopping place in the west and it is best known for its long queues outside restaurants during peak hours. I had my first hand experience of queuing outside Earle Swensen's for an hour. I ordered a main dish - fish & chips and it came with a free flow salad at the salad bar. I went for two rounds at the salad bar as the range of salads were tempting. There are like about 10-20 ingredients to choose from.For dessert, sis and i chose 2 scoops of ice cream (salted caramel and

Seafood Combo - prawns, mussels, salmon, squid (around $29.90)All mains come with the salad buffet. I really like it as hungry diners can start eating as soon as they place their orders for their mains instead of waiting for a long time for their food to arrive. there's plenty of ingredients at the salad bar however I could not eat much as the portion of the mains were rather huge. The seafood combo was good however the squid was difficult to chew and swallow.
