swensen's voucher went to swensen's with my dad's vouchers he got from work. it was a basic meal for each of us. a baked rice/pizza/pasta (no main courses) + a coffee/tea/soft drink + a scoop of ice cream (we got to choose our flavours).  in addition to the limited choices, some of us wanted to step out of our comfort zones (we're always eating the same few items that we enjoyed) and try something different.  beef stroganoff baked rice. it's one of the newer items on the menu. looks slightly burnt here, but the beef didn't taste charred at all. the brown sauce is surprisingly good. i was unimpressed with how tight they were with the beef and sauce. my rice was dry and sticking to the pan at the bottom and i had to ration my beef.  my dad's beef lasagna. not one of his usuals (he doesn't like tomato sauce and cheese). some people might not like it being too sauce-y, but i personally love how generous they were with the sauce (as opposed to mine). with every mouthful, you taste the pasta, minced beef, bits of spinach with the tangy tomato sauce. delicious!  last but not least, ice-cream (clockwise from bottom left corner): milo, macadamia nut, chendol, peanut something. i recommended the chendol to my dad, as i had the chendol milkshake previously. wasn't wowed by the milkshake, but the ice-cream drew me in. the milo is very sweet. i felt it was more condensed milk than anything, but my sis assured me it was purely milo. mum preferred haagen dazs' macademia nut and sis was satisfied with hers. overall, we felt swensen's ice-cream was too creamy.
