Swensen's

Swensen's is a Western restaurant and ice cream parlour with roots in San Francisco, where Earle Swensen opened his first shop in 1948. Its first 200 seater restaurant in Singapore opened in 1979, and it has since become a familiar name for family meals and sweet treats. The menu covers comfort food such as Fish & Chips, Chicken in the Basket, grilled steaks, pizzas, soups served in bread bowls and an all day brunch, plus crowd pleasers like Southern Style Chicken 'N' Waffle and hot fries with dips. Then comes dessert, which is the main draw. The Earthquake mega sundae piles on eight scoops of ice cream, while the Goreng Pisang Split and the durian based Local Infusion Supreme add a local twist to the classic sundae. With its wide menu and generous sharing portions, Swensen's suits families, groups of friends and anyone who wants a hearty meal followed by something sweet.
