Swensen's Set Lunch - Tesco Tanjung Pinang ( PF )



Attracted by their $18.90 ++ Executive set lunch offer as well as a 30% discount off their ala carte menu, we sat down for lunch.




Coffee.
Weak. 
Tastes of stale paper and coffee beans.
High time to change the filter .




Don't like the croutons.
Overall soup is lumpy and floury.
Tastes like a brocolli/pumpkin soup. Weird.




Panfried chicken in Victoria sauce.
Sauce overpoweringly spicy.
Tastes more Indian than American .
Hard to finish although the chicken was done nicely.





Deep fried fish in batter with Apricot Mayo sauce.
Standard.
I'm beginning to think it's the harsh fluorescent lighting that makes every dish look and taste uninspiring.




Half BBQ roast chicken ($23.90) with one damaged ankle and leg dangled across the fries, was such a put off in terms of presentation.

Outer skin is nice and smooth but inside texture of the meat is dry.
Hard to finish.





Total damage : Around $63 plus drinks.

Verdict : My personal opinion is that it is not worth it

Suggestions : Soften the lighting,as food comes looking no different from the  foodcourt downstairs. Cut the Victorian sauce.The chicken is nicer without it
