Swensen's (Thomson Plaza)

Since it arrived in Singapore in 1979, this chain restaurant has been a go-to place for decadent ice cream sundaes, tasty American fare, and celebrations of life milestones with family or friends.
.
They're known for serving towering sundae creations, decadent and indulgent treats for all.
.
The famed Sticky Chewy Chocolate, in a sundae glass, features a large creamy smooth thick scoop, engulfed by thick velvety sensational chocolate hot fudge, dressed with fluffy whipped cream, crisp biscuit wafer, and a juicy chocolate coated cherry. Has a rich and addictive robust chocolatey sweet flavour, yum.
.
The Salted Butterscotch Crumble and Lime Sherbet, in an ice cream bowl, are dual scoops of creamy smooth thick goodness, the former with toasty salty sweet flavour, the latter with bright tangy sour fruity sweet flavour. On the side we chose 3 toppings, juicy strawberry with fruity sweet flavour, crunchy macadamia nuts with nutty flavour, and thick butterscotch with earthy sweet flavour.

Nostalgia

When times are bad for the food and beverages industry and restaurants are pushed to innovate, perhaps the fun way is to play with the consumers’ minds.

Swensen’s recently launched their “Fried Chicken” Ice Cream (S$11.80) in a pint, which included two fake drumsticks made of their signature Vanilla ice cream, then heavily coated with crushed crispy cornflakes. For a more balanced flavour, a stick of rolled chocolate could be found in the handheld dessert to act as the leg bone.

Clearly, this was more of an ordinary dessert that seemed pretty amusing to have, especially when I added a serving of the strawberry sauce. Now, didn’t this look like dipping the drumstick into chilli sauce? Just imagine!

My favourite ice cream sundae, of all time.
.
Rich, luscious, chocolatey sweet scoops of sticky chewy chocolate ice cream, coated in thick chocolate fudge sauce, topped with airy whipped cream, chocolate coated cherry, chocolate chips, and a half chocolate coated biscuit wafer.
.
Loved the richness of this decadent dessert.
