Swensen’s 1-for-1 Lunch Treats

Update: The promotion has been extended to 31 March 2010.

From now ’til August 31, Swensen’s is offering a 1-for-1 weekday lunch promotion from 11am to 5pm at all its restaurants. This promotion is certainly a great deal! So if I were you, I would check out their menu and start planning my next meal!

I may not be a huge Swensen’s fan, but when I do dine there, I tend to have the rodeo wings as starters, and either the chicken baked rice or crayfish pasta as my main course. Is there any other dish that I should be trying out?

Update: I followed some of your recommendations! Here are the reviews of the dishes I have tried.

Ever a fan of both chicken and barbecue sauce, it seems only natural to go for the BBQ chicken. By default this comes with potatoes and greens. Some people, myself included, would prefer it with just fries. So when you place your order, don’t be shy to indicate your preference.

The serving is ample, and the sauce is yummy too. I only wish they would be more generous with the sauce, because I would quickly run out of it a quarter way through the chicken. The chicken flesh itself is rather mildly-flavored, so having more sauce would have been nice.

Tomato mussel stew

$13.90++

The tomato mussel stew is one dish that has replaced the crayfish pasta as my default Swensen’s order. Out of my 3 to 4 visits to Swensen’s over the past month, I ordered this every single time!

The shellfish are stewed in a succulent tomato sauce that is also packed with onions, peppers and mushrooms. Healthy stuff! True enough, this particular dish is part of the Singapore Health Promotion Board’s Healthier Dining Program! I always finish off by slurping up all the sauce. Yum!

Now, if you’re thinking, “no way is that going to fill my tummy”, the stew also comes with slices of toasted sourdough bread on the side. Great for dipping!

Once again, if you have more recommendations, I am all ears!
