Chicken wings are one of my most favourite things in my world of food. These are well cooked, flavourful, crispy and priced just right. Convenient location in Ikea Alexander is that you can go shop after eating and go eat after shopping! I always try to avoid lunchtime cause there's always a queue and the wait is usually as long as half an hour, so if one is really hungry and in a rush shouldn't take your chances on this.

I am sure almost everyone will agree with me. Ikea serves affordable and tasty Swedish food. Best of all, the portion is really filling. At times, I may visit Ikea just for the food, don’t really have the intention to want to buy furniture but nevertheless, I may still walk around if time permits. Usually, I will go to the one nearly to my place, the one at Alexandra. There are certain timings when the queue will be extremely long and the restaurant will be really crowded.

Usually, I will go to the one nearly to my place, the one at Alexandra. There are certain timings when the queue will be extremely long and the restaurant will be really crowded. However, the good thing is that the flow of the queue is quite fast. I always order my all-time-favourite meatballs. They come in pieces of 20 ($9.50), 15 ($8.00), 10 ($5.50) so order the one your appetite can take. Other than their usual sauce, they come with cranberry sauce and mash potatoes. I will always order the chicken wings ($7.50 for 6) as well. It is really hard to resist when you see them at the counter. You have to try the Lingonberry Drink ($1). Lingonberry are a popular berries in Sweden. It is healthy cause they are many benefits to it. It is only 1 bucks and it is refillable, definitely worth it. I spotted a new item on their dessert, the apple cake. This was so good when it was warmed.

Well, these Ikea swedish meatballs definitely needs no introduction. And I do see why they are all so famous. Lovely texture and the sauce is splendid, even the mash potato served with it is great!. However, for people who doesn't take pork and beef need to take note that they are actually made up of those stuff. I believe they do sell halal ones at the Tampines branch. A less famous thing on their menu is actually their chocolate mousse desert. A must try.

I always love Ikea Cafe for its interesting way of ordering food and also its culture of returning-your-own-trays. It makes me feel like everyone is really civilised and considerate. This time, I shared a meal with a friend. We ordered the 20 meatballs, onion rings and a cheesecake! All in all it amounts to $18.20.

The food looks so appetizing and yummy, I didn't even have the patience to take individual pictures before digging in!


Let me start with the meatballs. I think the standard of the meatballs seemed to have fallen over the years. It used to be quite springy and succulent, but yesterday's meatballs were kind of... soft and crumbles apart when you eat it. Oh well. The taste remains quite delicious though. The sauce is a bit creamy. There is a clump of jam (oh dear, I can't recognize what it is, I think it is raspberry? Definitely some fruit jam) to go with the meatballs. It has this sweet and fruity taste but I don't like it. I think it's weird to go with the meatballs... so I just stuck with the sauce. The potatoes at the side were quite hard. It's not mashed potato. It's filling but could be softer.

Onion rings are my favourite here! You don't feel like they re-used the oil to deep fry the onion rings. Whether they do so in actuality... I have no idea. At least it tastes good.

The cheesecake is my favourite part! It is quite different from other cheesecakes. This one is not the light, fragrant Japanese cheesecake that you normally find in NTUC/Bread Talk. It is more moist than usual cheesecakes and sour! I like sour cheesecakes. Anyway it's really nice.

I would say that this set shared by two people is just right to fill my stomach up
At the end of the meal I feel really happy. That's what Ikea does to people, I guess.

The place is always full of people. Remember to put in effort to keep the trays after dining.Breaded fish serves with carrots and potatoes. Not bad but this is not always on the menu.This is the must eat dish number 1. Meat Balls with Cheesy sauces. Strawberry Jam and potatoes. I never fail to order this when i dine there. However the recent visit to Ikea Alexandra, their meatballs are not that chewy.This is the must eat dish number 2. Fried chicken wings.

Ikea Cafe's food always look good and taste pretty decent as well. But i'm starting to feel that the food is never serve hot, only warm. Perhaps due to the the method of preparation, food is no longer prepared on the spot, likewise the gravy and sauces are no longer kept at a optimum higher temperature. For this lunch i ordered the ribeye beef with mushroom and broccoli ($9.90) and also 2 chicken wings ($2.80). Thanks to the Ikea card, i got complimentary coffee as well. Like mentioned earlier,

Anyway, the meatballs were still up to standard. A bit crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They were quite generous with the sauce so that was a big plus for me! Potato slices were big and tender.

I ate the chicken last. Even though it wasn't cold anymore, the chicken was still crispy! The flavour just seeped to the bone, which i loved!

Headed down to Ikea Cafe at Alexandra Road for lunch with my sister. This is really a affordable alternative to hawker centers in the sweltering heat. I choose a slice of vegetarian pizza ($1.50) and a plate of rice with vegetables and 2 pieces of fried chicken thigh ($3.90).I love eating the vegetarian pizza because it's really yummy and is not overloaded with cheese (something that I really dislike).

I love eating the vegetarian pizza because it's really yummy and is not overloaded with cheese (something that I really dislike). The rice set was really worth the money because there was generous portions of fried chicken thigh. The chicken thigh was crispy yet moist on the inside, it hadn't been over-fried to the point it got dried up.

Likes
How affordable the whole meal is.

Dislikes
None.

Spending: Exactly $5.40

I have loved the cakes and desserts at Ikea but now, I am not so fond of the main courses there. I tried the pasta with tomato sauce. Basically everything was already prepared so there was no waiting time involved. The serving was generous but I found it way too plain. The cheese used was the powder kind which made the whole dish taste very blunt. One would get sick of eating the dish half way through. I definitely had better!

Ikea always surprises me with really delicious food. Every time I go, the menu will be different. As I went on a Sunday, the dish of the day was nasi goreng. I decided to give it a try, for only $4.90, I got a pretty large portion of chicken leg and a lot of rice. the nasi was really fragrant, it was not spicy at all. The chicken leg was really huge, it was really meaty as well. the meat was very tender too. I like the koropok, large piece and very crispy. The achar is good, very crunchy.

Cakes and drinks easily pick up from Ikea fridge while in the queue area for food. I get the Chocolate Truffle. This cake made from black Chocolates and on top of the chocolate sponge cake spread with some icing sugar. Overall, it is not too sweet. I would say that the taste is just perfect. I enjoy eating this snack with a cup of English tea. The price is $3.50 per piece.

Everyone knows Ikea and their meatballs. People love them so much, there is probably more people in the restaurant than in the furniture shop itself. I try my best not to dine there, because of the extremely long queue, even though I love the food. I got myself this chicken drumstick set for about $6+, and I think it's average tasting because they mass cooked it. Same for the fries, it's already soggy when it's on my plate. In short, it's a disappointment.My mom got this noodles soup for only $1

My mom got this noodles soup for only $1.90. Although it taste rather plain and average, but it's worth every buck! You can't even find a noodle soup going for $1.90 in a hawker centre!

The dessert over at IKEA are displayed in the fridge whereby you can see when you are in the queue for your food! And it is displayed with the price tag and the dessert name there so that we know what it is. I have tried two but i prefer the chocolate slice one because it has rice crisp which makes it crunchy and the chocolate is yummy too which it is consume together. Whereas for another is a little bit sweet already and not really that nice.

The chicken wings were very crispy and delicious. It's nice to have it deep in tomatoes or chilli sauce. The cake was very sweet. It has dark chocolate layer on it and the rest were fill with nuts. I wasn't really like the cake there. But it taste fine though. The stew chicken with rice were nice too. The chicken was well done and the sauce made it easy to eat with rice. The meat ball taste were divine! I like the jam and the cream sauce a lot.
PS: You do realise that I only post the chicken wings. Well here is why. My aunt and I were so hungry that after finish both the dishes, we realised we didn't take the picture for stewed chicken and Meat Ball
Sorry.

The reason why we chose fruits is because it looks very fresh! It is mixed with green apple, red apple, pineapple and honey drew!

For the drink you can pay at the cashier for $1 each cup and you can always come back for refill!!!
I enjoyed eating at Ikea so much!! So many things we ordered and it was only $22 dollar. SO worth it! I hope you would go and have a try if you have not because it's really very popular and the most important - delicious-

Bon Appetite
