     This was a very exciting and fun opening because it's my first time bringing my son with me to an event. My son was very excited that day because he loves eating chocolate ice cream. Before the event started, I had the opportunity to roam around the place. Check their menu and saw variety of ice cream and sundaes suited for all ages! There's so many mouth-watering flavors to choose from and I really had a hard time choosing.

The long wait is over! Finally, Swensen's Ice Cream and Sundaes opened their Sm North Branch. Here's the menu, feel free to choose now :)

     Before I forgot, there's a face painting session for the kids and the kids at heart! It's Kenzo's first time to have a face paint and the design he chose was Lightning Mc Queen. He also got a sword like balloon. These activities were enjoyed by the kiddos who also graced the event.

     On the right side of Swensen's kiosk, you can see a big poster with a title "Ice Cream Is My Life". This is the story of Swensen. The photos of the ice cream tubs below are what Swensen has to offer. There are chocolate, coffees, fruits and cake inspired selections.

     The opening started with a little prayer from the owner of Swensen's Sm North The Block branch. The family was very thankful and regarded this business as a blessing. After the short prayer, the ribbon was cut. I was fortunate to have a photo of them. Congratulations!

     And to not keep you waiting, here's what I had that day. I ordered the classic waffle sundae. I told you on the first part of this post that I had a hard time choosing because almost all the ice cream and sundaes are mouth-watering and sinfully good! I totally love this waffle sundae from Swensen's. Very filling and so delicious. The waffle was served hot of the plate with chocolate sauce on the side. The vanilla ice cream was topped with whipped cream, hazelnuts and cherry on top with sliced bananas on the side. Not too sweet that's why I enjoyed eating my order without complaining that I need lots of water. Hahaha!

     Kenzo's order was too cute to eat! It's called Mr. San Francisco :) The serving was enough for a little toddler. The idea of upside down ice cream cone was awesome, my son ate this in two ways. He also like the whipped cream with candy sprinkles. All in all his Mr. San Francisco got a good impression.

     Kenzo enjoying Mr. San Francisco! Because it's too cute to eat, he started eating the whipped cream with candy sprinkles first. He said that he don't like to eat the ice cream face but I insisted that it will melt so with a heavy heart he ate the chocolate flavored ice cream slowly avoiding the eyes and mouth of Mr. San Francisco.

     Ice cream and sundae shops nowadays should cater not only to kids but to the whole family and that's what Swensen's has to offer! Mouth-watering ice cream and sundaes that I'm sure will satisfy your craving and save you from the scorching weather. I'm excited to go back there and have a taste of their Halo-halo sundae. From the poster that I saw on their Facebook page, the Halo-Halo sundae looks tempting and I bet it's really good!
