Swensen's SG, 9th March 2008
Last Saturday, on the 8th, me and wife were toying around some ideas on should we go this time to explore for our lunch... no doubt Singapore is a very small country, making up ones mind to where to eat is a big challange, as we all knew that this country has tons of place to eat, but picking the right one is actually not easy at all...
We manage to find a website that shows all the shopping mall in Singapore.. and this place sound interesting - Junction 8... This is place is new to my wife but not to me, but I have not been to this place when it was erected 20 years ago...
We went there yesterday, and manage to find the information counter, and browse through all the directory on every floor, and finally we spotted where we want to go, that is.. TADA!!! Swensen's.
Swensen's has come a long way since my working days, from a ice cream palour to a cafe palour and then transformed into a restaurant...
Not only do they still serve their own made ice cream, they serve coffee, pizza and even spaghetti..so there will be a mixture of the US and the Europe.
The entrance is a located at a very tiny little corner, luckily the sign board is big, otherwise you will never find this place... (please take note that this is not the only place that Swensen's is here, they have several branches in Singapore too)
The counter is a little quiet, what I can say is, they are under staff, so you have to be patience with their services...
Not that cosy after all, but the environement are more towards family, so if you are thinking of spending a romantic nite here.. please think twice
Table setting is nothing unique, but it does comes with basic needs, the ketchup, chilli sauce, pepper, etc
Breakfast choice
Ice cream choice of the day
this is what i like best, Colour and big menu with pictures.. at least you will able to see what you are ordering.. good choice
Retro ceiling lights of the past USA.. cool
here we order our usual starter, Caesar Salad, they were serve in a very unique bowl, vege is fresh so are the toppings, and this is one the freshest salad we have ever taste so far.. good to try
My wife did not expect me to order this Calamari Rings, when she first put the rings in her mouth, she really likes it very much, and it comes with tartar sauce for you to dip too.. nice!!!
Nothing fantastic on this Beef Bakes Rice, but nonetheless it is not that bad too.... if your body are heaty.. never never try this
The All Vege Pizza is nice to look on the outside, and bad on the inside... this is the worst pizza that we have ever taste, and we prefer Modesto...
Well, it is not that expensive coming to this place to have a decent lunch, and it cost only S$ 40. If you ask how do i rate this place, i will give a 7/10 .. but it is still a nice hangout for family and a bunch of frens... here is the details below:
