American Diner

Where: Swensons
What: Lunch with Mum

Mega Burger: Massive portions. Do not be deceived, the beef patty looks burnt, but it was juicy to the bite. There were onion slices, and ham and bacon as well that gave the burger that extra ommph... truly a meat lover's delight! Dish comes with lightly salted fries, and tangy coleslaw that was refreshing and appetising. Disclaimer: good to come with a good dose of healthy appetite, given its 'mega' portions.

Pesto Salmon Saute: Dish comes with a generous scoop of mashed potato and pieces of cauliflower, carrots and 2 stalks of asparagus on the side. The salmon was a bit of a disappointment though; it was a tad too cooked, hence, its natural oils (omega 3fatty acids) were sapped up- leaving the fish dried, and somewhat shrivelled. Nonetheless, the saving grace was the creamy herb-based pesto sauce that was used as a dip for the salmon. Dried salmon notwithstanding, this is definitely a balanced meal!

Editor's note: that was just so much to eat! truly a hearty and perhaps not so healthy dining experience, given the massive portions!
