I love the Swedish Meatballs at Ikea. While they no longer are in the shape of a ball, but more like a square, the taste is still as good as before. I believe what makes it so good, is actually the brown sauce it is topped with. Some people like it with the jam but I personally feel that the sweet taste spoils the food. The Meatballs now come with a scoop of mash potato instead of the boiled potato cubes from before, which is pretty good too. I completed my meal with the butterscotch chocolate a

Ikea is a place to go for affordable furniture, but when it comes to food, it makes a pretty great place to visit as well! Ikea has a restaurant at its Alexandra Outlet and offers a variety of food and drinks.Grilled salmon! The fishy smell wasn't that strong, and the texture had a nice glaze to it. The sauce was excellent and matched the salmon nicely and the sides were a nice touch to the meal. The meatballs were awesome as usual, the taste was strong with a nice juicy feeling to it. The pasta

Grilled salmon! The fishy smell wasn't that strong, and the texture had a nice glaze to it. The sauce was excellent and matched the salmon nicely and the sides were a nice touch to the meal. The meatballs were awesome as usual, the taste was strong with a nice juicy feeling to it. The pasta and Bologna sauce was average and didn't raise eyebrows as much as the salmon and meatball. The chicken wings were fried to perfection - Crispy, fragrant and downright delicious.

I'm quite sad that Ikea stopped selling Daim Cakes, but the Chocolate Almond Cake more than made up for it. Rich flavours and awesome taste really made me calling out for more. A bit pricey but worth every cent I paid!

I think they have the BEST fried chicken wing! Other item, like cake is not bad too. Love their chicken wing! hot and fresh! It is tender and juicy! A must order!! Their kids meal, nuggets and fries, not bad. If their nuggets and fries can be as hot and fresh as their chicken wing, it would even better. Even though, a lot of people raving about their meat ball, personally, I doesn't like it. And their soft drinks is free flow. And for those that just want to get ice water, is free just get it at

Visited the Ikea Cafe at Alexandra Branch for breakfast. It was the cheapest that I ever had. I ordered the mee sian at $1.90. The gravy was spicy and fresh lime is served. It comes with half size boiled egg. The vermicle is substantial but the soup is not boiling hot. When I had a finger good and cinamon bread with hot black coffee. The environment was excellent as children can run around safety and parents can enjoy the meal in peace.

Ikea Cafe sells very nice food and was very popular with locals, always there was long queue at any time of the day.

Today, my stomach a bit full, so decided just to order some sides.

I bought a Pink Princess Cake.

The appearance looked very cute and nice.

But when you first bite, the pink outer layer was a sugar icing layer, then there was white whipped cream and then the cake.

The cake layer was quite rough and you thought that "Angmo" cake should be soft and fluffy.

Overall, the Princess cake was too sweet for my liking.

What is one thing that people go for in IKEA other than buying furnitures for their house? MEATBALLS!!!From the last time I heard, these swedish meatballs are made up of both beef and pork mix.

What is one thing that people go for in IKEA other than buying furnitures for their house? MEATBALLS!!!

From the last time I heard, these swedish meatballs are made up of both beef and pork mix. For those looking for halal meatballs as far as I heard you can buy some frozen ones that is made up of chicken and beef mix from their frozen food department base at level 1.

These meatballs are best eaten with their cajun sauce mixed with cranberry jam. Yes it does looks funny and sounds rather not matching but let me tell you they are simply delicious. It's no wonder people always say never judge a book by its color. Well, I'll say never judge the food by the sauce mixture then. Would be alot better if the meatballs are juicier, of which I heard their standard was much better in the past. such a pity not able to keep the standard.
Comes with some boiled potato as carbo and would finish off well as a balance meal if it can come with some greens.

As for the chicken wings, my only advise is, best eaten hot. Skin would be crispy and savoury enough to add more colors to your meal.

Only down side? Way too noisy. Afterall, Ikea is a great place for all young and old, a place great for family bonding.

I went to IKEA cafe located in Alexandra for dinner. Very cozy ambiance and homey feeling. They offer wide array of dishes, not only swedish style dishes but also our local dishes eg mee siam and many more. You only have to pay $1 for a cup of soft drinks and get free refill. Overall, I love the whole concept of the cafe. So I went there and had their yummy Spicy Salmon Plate. The salmon tastes so delicious and moist.

So I went there and had their yummy Spicy Salmon Plate. The salmon tastes so delicious and moist. You have to dip it into their sweet spicy sauce for extra kick. Love it so much. They are having promotion right now so I paid $4.00 for a plate (U.P.$5.80). The promotion till end of September 2013.

I will definitely come back for IKEA Spicy Salmon Plate.

IKEA Restaurant & Cafe at Alexandra is also known as The IKEA Food Store. According to a report published last year, the best seller is actually their chicken wings and their Swedish Meatballs are their second best sellers in Singapore selling up to 39,000 meatballs daily! If that is the case, I wonder how many chicken wings they sell each day!IKEA Restaurant & Cafe is normally very crowded, but the good news is that their dining area is huge!

IKEA Restaurant & Cafe is a self-service restaurant. Its concept is similar to a school's or army's cafeteria where customers queue up to take a tray, going to the different sections to order their food. There are also trolleys specially to put trays on it to make it easier to buy lots of food! Great concept. The flip side is that the food is typically prepared before hand and place on warmers. They are not cooked on the spot.

Once you have collected your food, you will be required to pay up at the cashier. Fortunately, there was no need to lift all the trays up from the trolley. The cashier is able to tally the items without you needing to lift a finger.

IKEA changed their Swedish Meatball (10 pcs) $5.50 recipe to make it softer and also more authentic. There were many customers who posted in IKEA Singapore's Facebook and also on forums requesting for IKEA to switch back to the previous Meatball recipe. After trying the Swedish Meatballs (made of a mixture of pork and beef), I am also one of those who prefer the previous version. This new version was way too soft, lacked texture and was not springy. The potatoes at the side were disappointing. they were hard and powdery.

Editor Note: IKEA Singapore temporary stopped the sales of their meatballs amid the horse meat scandal and sent their meatballs for DNA testing to ensure that they contain no horse meat. After the test results showed that there were no horse meat in the meatballs, IKEA Singapore released a press statement on 7 March stating that they will resume the sales of meatballs on 8 March 2013. To mark the return of the meatballs, IKEA will sell the meatballs at $0.10 per piece on 8 March 2013.

The Chicken Wings were mouthwatering. The Chicken Wings $2.80 were so well marinated that even the meat on the inside were tasty and fragrant. As for the outside, the skin was so crispy. Finger licking good and addictive. It will be hard to stop at one. Almost every table in here has a plate of Chicken Wings.

The Poached Salmon with Chives Sauce $7.90 was delish. A generous serving of salmon was given and the sauce complemented it perfectly. Again, the potatoes were hard and powdery.

The Ribeye Steak served with potatoes, broccoli and mushroom sauce $9.90 was disappointing. The steak was hard, tough and chewy. While the broccoli was overcooked and potatoes were powdery. The only consolation was that the mushroom sauce was quite good.

This time round, I was very disappointed with the quality of food at Ikea Restaurant and Cafe. The Swedish Meatballs, Ribeye Steak and Potatoes were terrible. The Chicken Wings are the only item that makes me want to go back. Can we have the old Swedish Meatballs back, please.

dark chocolate cake ($3.50)

Next, as this is dark chocolate, it is not as sweet as the other cakes! It was quite nice except for the fact that the cake tasted quite dry. It would have been better if the inside was moist and filled with more dark chocolate though.

Ikea have a wide range of food and desserts! Decided to try their princess cake ($3) which looked very cute and appealing! Visually, it looked stunning. Its an airy cake on a sponge cake base, filled with raspberry jam, whipped cream and vanilla custard. However, i found it abit too sweet for me as they seem to put a lot of sugar in it. Perhaps this princess cake will be more suitable for little kids!

Every time after shopping at Ikea, I will definitely visit their restaurant to settle my meal, as they provide a wide range of food. The swedish meat ball is a must to order and the cranberry sauce makes this dish so perfect. Next, chicken wings is my favourite as well, as it is crispy and tasty. However, the poached salmon taste normal to me, but lucky the sauce save this dish as it was thick and creamy. Although Ikea specialise in furniture, but their food was good too.

Other than the famous meatballs sold at Ikea restaurant, there are also some gourmet menu up which is being refreshed every now and then. so I chose to ordered the roasted chicken leg with barbecue sauce over their baked salmon as I wanted something more filling. the dish comes with a huge chicken leg, some fries and frozen veggies.

I like the barbecue sauce as it brings flavor to the chicken leg with its sweetness. the fries is those normal supermarket packet curly fries thus nothing to rave about. would suggest the restaurant to buy in hand cut thick fries to replace it to make it more like a authentic western dish. the restaurant gets crowded and fill up fast with its crazy long queue for hungry diners during peak hours so I will tend to avoid that period of time.
