amici and swensen's gelato

once again amici always deliver! the service, atmosphere and delicious food.


my parents had the grigliata di manzo (tenderloin with madeira sauce). the beef was succulent, tender and cooked perfectly. one of the few places in singapore where you can have dependable steak at a good price.


i had the oven-baked cod with butter herb. it came with lots of vegetables. for someone who doesn't like vegetables, i certainly cleaned up my plate. it was that good.


my sis had the mixed grill (prawn, salmon and chicken). the serving was so huge my dad had to finish up the chicken for her.

after dinner, we went to newly open swensen's gelato along the same stretch of shophouses. we were attracted by the bright interior, low prices and colourful ice-cream.



however, while the packaging is good, the gelato is not. it's a disappointment as swensen's is quite synonymous with ice-cream in singapore.


both my sis and i had regular (2 flavours) for $4.30. she had hazelnut and kiwi-banana. i had durian and green apple. the flavours were artificial and a tad too creamy. it's cheap, but i'd rather pay more for better.
