Fika is a social institution in Sweden; it means having a coffee with one’s colleagues, friends, date, or family. When we got wind of Fika Café, we knew we had to give it a shot. How often do we come across a Swedish café (No, IKEA’s not counted) that is halal? It located right at the junction of Beach road and Arab street, a place that is popular with Middle Eastern tourists and Persian carpet merchants in the Kampong Glam area, it naturally made sense.We ordered Kopparberg Pear Cider ($7.90),

So much cozier and and spacious!Mains: Grilled Chicken Crepe ($17.50) with cheese, sesame mayo and tomatoes topped with alfalfa.Mains: Tunnbrodsrulle ($18.90). Classic Swedis

Wanted to try Swedish food, hence went Fika's to get a taste of what its like. Been back at least once more, since then.We started with the Blueberry Soup (hot) - something that I had wanted to try during my last visit but did not get to. It was thick and sweet, with sour hints - I felt like I was drinking heated up Blueberry Juice or Syrup. In fact, if I had chosen the cold soup instead of hot, it would have made for the perfect dinner juice drink. Nonetheless, it was interesting - a hot, nutri

Fika Swedish restaurant has a classically clean and neat outlook. I was curious about their food, and now I finally got to enjoy it.The Blueberry Soup (hot) - something that I had wanted to try during my last visit but did not get to.

I have never tried Swedish food before unless you count the meatballs from Ikea. So one day I decide to head to Fika Swedish Cafe and Bistro, which also happens to be halal! My friends and I ordered Cheesy Potato Wedges ($8.90), Pannbiff ($19.90), Meatball Melt ($17.90), Aglio Olio with shrimps ($22.80) and Grilled Chicken crepe ($17.50).At the top, is the Pannbiff, which has a hamburger patty, salad and mashed potato on the side. While dining, we find that there is not enough sauce to go with t

When i told my swedish friend about how i loved IKEA meatballs, he totally pooh-pooed at me a and said that it wasn’t authentic at all! Imagine my shock. haha. I still love it anyway! But Fika is one that has gotten the stamp of approval from the Swedish community in singapore, and after dining there, I could see why! The quality of the food there is exactly what you would expect from the swedish – impeccable.Obviously a must-try when you dine at fika would be their swedish meatballs ($18.50)

Glad that more and more different kind/types of cuisine can be found in Singapore today. I went to a Swedish Café today and tried their Smoked salmon crepes – Infused with rich smoked cured salmon wrapped in fluffy, and soft crepes, drizzled with mellow tasting dill mayo. Their mixed salad was fresh and crunchy but could use a little bit more dressing Swedish Lingo Berry Fruit Soda – refreshing and and sour lingon berry syrup with gassy soda tasted like a unsweetened ribena. Would definitely

The Skagen Crepe $16.50 is a cold crepe that is filled with smoked salmon, shrimp and fish roe. More fillings might be good to hold up what seemed like a deflated roll. It did not have a notable taste and the mayonaise was slightly diluted.This Beef Pannbiff $18.90 consists of two huge beef patties, sautéed onions. They were less greasy than Blu Kouzina's version but the substantial amount of meat became overwhelming. Best recommended for sharing. Taste is rather similar to the meatballs so it's

It's not very easy to find swedish food. Besides maybe at that big furniture shop. We went to this pretty little shop tucked at Beach Road. Restaurant was set and decorated like someone's house. It feels very nice and cosy. White walls, interesting pieces of furniture and decors. It feels good to be in the restuarant. We ordered a few items, Baked pasta, Meat Balls, Lobster combo and ended of with desserts. I sometimes run out of words to describe goodness. But every dish that we ordered was rea

The reason for the title of this post is because this place is located on the outskirt of Haji lane. I was passing by Shisha places, Mediterranean and Egyptian restaurant, and suddenly I stumbled into this....Swedish restaurant? I had to give it a try. The decor was interesting. It was mostly white wooden tables and chairs, white counters and cute lighting fixture. Overall a nice homely look to the place. It gives that small cozy diner feel which I appreciate. Had their signature Swedish meatbal

FikaFika Cafe is located along Beach Road near to some office building. It is a two storey shophouse-kind of cafe. It is my first time visting cafe with my friends. It has a homely design which is great for friends' gathering. We are all seated at the second floor with other groups of diners, also teenagers.As most of their service crew are downstairs, the service is a bit slow as compared to other restaurants. However, we can take some time to look at the interior decoration of the cafe. From t

Decided to give Fika a try after hearing so many good reviews about it.Some Swedish pear cider drinkSwedish PannbiffI ordered the Pannbiff which consisted of two beef patties topped with creamy sauce with lingonberry jam and mashed potatoes on the side. Honestly, the only thing good about this dish was the mashed potato. It was very buttery (more than usual) and I liked the chunks of potato in it (although some may prefer it completely smooth). As for the patties, they were very average and kind

Well, most of us may be very familiar with the meatballs at Ikea and love them. But, there are even better meatballs at Fika! The meatballs are definitely more expensive but it is worth a try! Fika is a cosy cafe near Bugis and is a good place for friends to hang out and eat the yummy meatballs!For more reviews on Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro, go to http://thumbsforfood.blogspot.sg/2012/10/fika-swedish-cafe-bistro-beach-road.html !

Ok, so it contains mashed potato and of course, beef balls, pork and some lettuce i think. Well, in IKEA they sell the same thing but it does not contain pork because they are halal. The mashed potato taste good and its texture was soft. The beef balls have some cheese gravy on top. One pro tip: Do not wait for too long to eat the beef. It tastes really really nasty when its cold. Anyway, its $18.50, It costed me a bomb.

Fika- Swedish cafe & bistro offers a range of open-faced sandwiches (smoked salmon, shrimps, chicken, meatballs..etc), salads (signature Smoked salmon salad) , crepes and desserts (swedish pancakes). And indeed, the food here are really nice and they really satisfy your cravings for meatballs and others. Though the price of some of the food are more expensive, but it is worth a try.
