Swensen

Friday night - time for feasting! Initally wanted to go to Big-O cafe, cuz Leecher got the 1-for-1 voucher, but it was only valid from Sunday to Thursday %&%$&$^$, so ended up, we changed to Swensen's since I happened to have vouchers, hahaa.

Been a while since I stepped into Swensen's - we went to the one @ Orchard Road, since sua ku me never been inside this restaurant before.

It was only 8pm and there was a loooonnngggg queue. We requested for a table for 2, and the waiter asked if we want indoors or outdoor. We beat everyone in the queue and went straight to the table, when we replied that either one is fine, hahaa. Clever move, since there are fans blowing around to keep the customers seated outside cool.

Leecher ordered the set meal that came with soup & drink. However, the soup was kinda plain, tasted like plain water.

The drink which tasted like cough syrup, yucks!

His main course - Princely Chicken. Eh, so-so only and the serving is kinda small

My free salmon & mushroom baked rice, that tasted like the chef accidentally overturned the whole packet of salt inside. Should have stick to the curry chicken baked rice instead.

Yes, our starter, crispy veggie mix. This dish actually came after we finished our mains and we had to ask the waiter, not once but thrice for this order.

I reckoned it was the nicest dish of the evening, cuz the fried mushroom tasted good until

I saw how much oil was left behind - spoilt my appetite immediately. I used to love Swensen's for the food and service during my JC and Uni days. However, it seemed like the standard have dropped significantly. Doubt that I will be heading back to the place anytime soon in the near future.

Went to Robinson's sale - NO GST! Leecher wanted to get a pair of working shoes, since his faithful pair of Pedro shoes were beyond repair, haha. Wa, he looked for 1/2 hr, got the salesgal to take 4 pairs of similar looking shoes for him to try, even more ma-fan than me leh.

Finally decided on a pair and we got a shot @ the lucky draw, hahaa. Hoping that the card will be $500 bucks worth of voucher ....

Our lucky number ....

Sian, no prize @ all - just thanking you for contributing to the balance sheet of Robinson, haha

On a separate note, Leecher stumbled upon this cute-looking cookie ...

wa ha ha, definitely made me a happier person :)
