It's time to entice your tastebuds with a whole new Earle Swensen's experience!

My parents and I have this huge fetish over Swensens.
Our usuals would always be: 
a "Topless 5" (5 scoops of ice cream with your choice of flavours)
And not forgetting their U.S. Fries which is one of their best sellers!

But besides all the family restaurant outlets that they have in the neighbourhoods, have any of you tried Earle Swensen's before?
Well I did, and I was certainly tempted to revisit there again.

Thanks to Celine, I tagged along with her for a food-tasting session at Vivocity's Earle Swensen's! 
The session was to introduce some of their new menu items, and just so you know, the menu changes a couple of times annually!
Definitely aroused my curiosity to go back and try those new menu items.

Seated in the restaurant, we were accompanied by a beautiful sight overlooking the exterior view of Sentosa.
Personally, ambience is one of the most important factors that I feel makes the dining experience more enjoyable.

a liquid to quench your thirst


To give our tastebuds some warm-up, we started off with the Lychee Glacier.
Ice blended into a smooth yet icy texture was sure a tough job, but Earle Swensen's definitely did it right.
Beautiful violet color topped with lychee fruit, I can feel my throat drying up already.

food to stimulate your appetite


If you love eating chicken drumlets,
the new Oven Roasted Drumlets are right for you!
Available in Teriyaki & Sriracha glaze, whether you're a sweet or spicy food eater,
this is one that I recommend not to miss it!

appetizers; Breaded Scallops.
Doesn't sound interesting enough?



Best paired together with their whole new Salted Egg Yolk Dip!
Crispy on the outside, soft & pipin' hot on the inside.
It was pretty much a 7/10 rating for me though, as I pretty much prefer a stronger taste for the dip.

appetizers; Popcorn Squid


With Salted Egg Yolk Dip again!
This was the bomb, in fact I liked this more than the scallops!
The baby squids were well coated, every bite is filled with a crunchy texture.
And since it's popcorn-sized, it doesn't hurt to have more than one..right? ;)

the highlight of all the dishes.

Smoked Salmon Pasta


If you've ever dined out with me before, you would know that I am never a fan of cream based pasta.
It kind of makes me feel sick of the taste within a short period of time.
So to play safe, it's Aglio Olio or tomato-based.

But this definitely got me blown away.
With a slight saltiness from the smoked salmon, a light cream sauce, smooth linguine pasta and mushrooms, it definitely made me want more of it.
The tinge of saltiness from the smoked salmon made the cream sauce much more flavorful, without making the entire dish over creamy-like.
I finished everything, including the sauce.
This shows how good it is!
A must-try!

a sweet treat to end the flavorful meal.

Stylo Milo Sundae


Are you a malt fan or not?
I am someone who will always look forward to the desserts at the end.
No matter how stuffed I am.
I guess this is what they mean by all females have 2 different stomachs for savoury and sweet treats.
Not all, but I definitely am :p

All Swensen's ice cream are now changed to gelato, making it a healthier option for all of you sweet-tooth people out there.
The texture of the gelato was so smooth and has a slight creamy texture, glides through your throat when you swallow it.
I love how all the sundaes always looks so pretty and appetizing *heart flutters*

Together with the cereal crunch sandwiched between the scoops of ice cream, a creamy and crunchy texture made this dessert a pleasant one.
The con of the gelato, was that the milo taste was not strong and distinctive enough to taste it, unless it goes together with the cereal toppings.
Nevertheless, I finished it too as the milo taste gets stronger till you reach the bottom of that sundae :P

Earle Swensen's still never fails to surprise me with their new dishes and the same old favorites that I have.
A big thank you to Celine and Earle Swensen's for this amazing food tasting session!

& not forgetting;
my readers who have to endure my lengthy descriptions.

goodbye & have a slurpin' good time,
cynnie.
