Chili's Hot, Swenson Cool !!

After turning round and round looking for this Penang Road cendol, we adjourned to Gurney Plaza. We wanted to do some walking, to "digest" our food and to subside my "anger" at the same time. (Incredible hulk cooling down effect)

We went to Chili's but it was so full, the man had to write down our name to book a place... Cis... wanna eat also have to wait half hour??? No thanks, we walked off... and finally landed in Swenson.... it was not as crowded as in Chilie, at least we could get a place we wanted after a tiff with the waitress. I don't want to dwell into that...

two guys deep in conversation and
this gal as usual.. wanna pose here and there..
after Penang Road, Andy could still walloped
this plate of goodness...

whose birthday???

None of us here..
but today is Perak Sultan's Birthday..
it is a public holiday in IPOH...

ahhh... the ice cream I "screamed" for...
well, they lighted up the pan...
and the maltose sauce was burning hot...
oooh.. I dont know how to describe this...
But Definitely It Was Worth Trying!!!

Bill? It came to RM80...very Cheap!!
cos it was a cooling down antidote...

manglish said...

Tekkaus said...

Wow...what kind of ice cream is that? Must be super damn expensive.

reanaclaire said...

kathy: actually not many scoops if u want to count.. 5 only.. and one piece of that dont-know-what already.. forgotten the name.. my kids said nice..so i ordered.. swenson none in ipoh..


cratitude: not each of us.. we share share ma.. so ended up not eating much actually..


caroline: cheap or really expensive? hahaha....tekkaus shouted expensive!


manglish: if got extra money, i also wan to go again.. this time eat one plate alone.. wahhhhhhh...


tekkaus: 80rm expensive or not.. 3 varieties only.. and swenson one, not mcD... hahaha..can buy 80cones of McD, eat until lau sai..

Willie a.k.a Reptoz said...

You made the right decision. When we are hungry, it is better to find a place that can serve food fast. Otherwise, we will get angrier right?

The ice-creams look delicious. But i'm not sure of what to say on the price. For me...anything above Rm30 is expensive. You know...I don't earn much...hahaha..

wenn said...

wow, i can wallop those ice-creams! yummy!

Betsy from Tennessee said...

H Claire, YUM----that looks delicious and you didn't have to pay that much for it... I LOVE ice cream--so I would really enjoy being there. It's only breakfast time here in Tennessee right now---but your photos make me hungry for ice cream.... ha

Good Luck with the MOVE... Like you said, it is hard.

Hugs,
Betsy

reanaclaire said...

willie: yes, right.. angry and hungry.. not good for health.. hahaha.. now i m also yearning for ice cream but McD one will do...



wenn: too bad ipoh doesnt have, hor..


Cheryl: thanks.. i m not moving as yet..
i m sure your place there sells better ice cream! now i m yearning for one too..

Pete said...

SJB said...

suituapui said...

Screamed at son, screamed at waitress... Eyew!!! Luckily I wasn't anywhere near you that day! Like time bomb!

claire said...

pete: hahaha.. u joker.. i forgot all about swenson hairdo.. how come they name it the same, no connection one!


sjb: super expensive.. hahaha...


stp: wah..if scream at u means I am asking for trouble...no way! scream at waitress? i be in the limelight la.. nope nope.. wanted to but can still control one.. time bomb is still ticking, not yet explode..

iamthewitch said...

Wah the last ice-cream is explosive! LOL! I haven't tried it before! But I don't quite fancy Swensen's icecream cause I find it melting very quickly! Or perhaps it has changed now?

cleffairy said...

I'm not quite into sweet things...more to spicy and sour stuff... but the ice cream looks really nice.

claire said...

sweetwitch: come to think of it, yes, it was soft and creamy.. but not as it was dripping to liquid.. no.. but very sweet.. so definitely one person cannot finish that..


cleff: i have a sweet tooth, not so much on spicy stuff.. :0 the other way round..

Kiasu Mom said...

The Penang cendol stall is quite hard to miss :-). But the food and ice cream looks yummy.. and for RM80, definitely worth it!
