This be the entrance and signboard of the restaurant. It is located at the 2nd (or was it 1st?) floor of The Mall, and it's one of the many franchise around Brunei, though I totally forgot where Swesen's is originated from. To us, it does give off the foreign exotic feeling just by hearing the name alone, and needless to say, the next thing we would think of is the dear price it will be, LOL!
This be the interior and the decors of the restaurant. From the outside, it doesn't look so big and you would think at first glance that you won't have much space, but it is not as it deceptively portrays so. Though if you're one who can't really stand cold, it's better if you not choose the inward area and settle for the one outside. I guess it's their attempt of making it an outdoor-indoor dining kinda thing
Their trademark mug, in which they would serve us warm water first
Trigger-happy on their eating utensils, which comes with that cute little basket that I kinda like
My hubby and I ordered marshmallow latte (or was it cappucino?), in which it tastes like regular latter/cappucino and the melted marshmallows were at the bottom of the drink. An interesting combination there
Our soup of the day came in first, which is cream of mushroom (I think) and tastes pretty good, nice and thick, just the way I like it, and tastes even better with pepper
Our appetizer of calamari rings came next. The calamari tastes pretty fresh, though I was hoping it would be a bit more crunchier than it was
My order of fish and chips came in, and it tastes pretty good as I remembered the last time I ordered it. At least the fish was fresh and not one of those where you know it was defrosted from the fridge and out of some silly packaging or what not, and their coleslaw portion is huge and sourish as usual
My hubby ordered steak, and I tried a bit. It's quite succulent and juicy, and the sauce is absolute win, though I totally forgot what meat was it that was made to the steak, LOL!
Ah, the creme de la creme of Swensen's, which is the dessert, which is lauded for most of the time, just like Secret Recipe and their affinity for cakes and confectioneries. This is probably my most favourite dessert of all times: Swensen's Sticky Chewy Ice Cream. It's basically chocolate ice cream with whipped cream smothered with all things chocolate: chocolate fudge (that is bloody sticky and thick, ftw, earning its namesake), chocolate chips, chocolate-coated waffles and chocolate-coated cherry. Mm-MM! Chocolate haven right there~!! <3
There's the gist of our eating experience in Swensen's. Maybe if we go there again, I might do a reprisal. But for now, this is all there is to it. One note though, that it's advisable to go there if you have a fat wallet because the price is quite dear, and it's highly recommended to go there for its desserts
