Each time IKEA is mentioned, Food at IKEA just appears instantly in my head, and more distinctly, the swedish meatballs! Used to visit the Tampines outlet regularly for their breakfast, because I thought it was so delicious and cheap.

Thus, for the first time, I went there for dinner, and it was surprisingly a little disappointing from the breakfast I had before...

Poached Salmon ($7.90). Salmon was alright but a little overcooked, and potatoes were hard and tasteless even when smeared with the sauce which I like.

Spring Chicken with Broccoli for around $11+, if I'm right. It was half spring chicken to be exact, but definitely more than enough to keep me full for hours.

Normal-sized chicken wings, but I love it! It's so yummy, and for a moment I thought to myself, "I should have just ordered this as my main!".

Overall, Food at IKEA is great for some bites, such as the hotdog buns, or supposingly "light food" to fill up your stomach for awhile, such as the swedish meatballs and the chicken wings. But to fully enjoy your dinner, perhaps somewhere outside IKEA would be better.

Drinks are Lemongrass & Honey ($5.50), and Iced Latte ($5.50).

Shoestring Fries ($5.00) with paprika seasoning!

Corned Beef Mash & Poached Eggs ($16.00), which is a layer of mash potato, corned beef and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce and mixed greens on the side. All you need to do is mix it all up.

Smoked Salmon & eggs ($16.00) with smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, toasted brioche and with mixed greens on the side. Added mushrooms ($3.00) under "EXTRAS" to it.

Peach Tart ($7.00). Pretty normal fruit tart, but with a big piece of peach

One of their hot-seller, Bread Pudding ($6.00). It so delicious with the cake being warm, and pouring the milk over is so yummy! It was like the last piece on rack when I got it around 12plus. Must-try dessert! Furthermore, this is available daily

Located in the CBD area, you might have to expect a crowd during the weekdays. One plus point is that the chef made an effort to ask each diners for feedbacks, etc. which I believe is pretty lacking in most other places.

FYI - They have different menus for each day except for All-Day Breakfast.

I didn't quite favor the location of the restaurant, which is like less than 5 steps to the lift, as well as the door to the entrance/exit.

Forest Mushroom soup ($9.00) is a veloute of wild mushrooms with a melange of garlic croutons, cream and chives.

Fisherman's Net pizza ($18.00) made up of prawns, squids, mussels, mozzarella and grated lemon zest. Comes along self-service of cheese and chili pepper. Totally thumbs!

Duck Pot Pie ($22.00) is slow braised duck in rich wine sauce with vegetables and spices in a baked shell. I love the thick gravy and braised duck meat is soft and tasty.. Empty bowl as a result.

Cod with Sauce Vierge ($28.00) is pan-seared cod fillet with sauce vierge servd with panache of vegetables and aligot potatoes.

Durian Pengat ($8.00), which is one of the popular dessert there. It is luscious durian pulp cocooned in crepe. Durian pulp is sweet and thick, and pretty awesome for the durian-lovers.

You will also be provided a complimentary parking ticket, so less the worry about parking at Bay Hotel

I was really enjoying myself with the mass variety of food! While spoilt for choice, I decided to get my butt rested at Modern Asian Diner, also known as MAD.

Wide and spacious seating area, and definitely able to accommodate to large group or probably some small-scale celebration and sorts. We were guided to an empty table right away, despite during weekends. Knowing that it's our first time here, we were taught how to place the order, interestingly.

Crispy bun with Salted Egg Yolk Filling ($4.80). Comes in a standard quantity of 3 pieces, and to be eaten piping hot, of course. Not too salty at all, and I would say its nicely done!

Eggs Benedict ($14.00). Probably parma ham eggs benedict, runny egg yolk and soft bread. Quite a nice brunch to have if you are a yolk-lover.

Spicy Miso Pork Belly Sandwich ($14.00). Pork belly is not hard, and quite easy to cut and chew.

Took some time to arrive, the Steamed Black Angus Beef Siew Mai ($6.20). I thought it was pretty unique and special, thus ordered it. It tasted much like our usual siew mai, and beef fillings are bouncy.

There is this spacious area outside The Garden, which I believe can be very relaxing in a cooling day, and of course, at night! It actually overlook a big patch of greens, perhaps mini forest look-alike

Interior of The Garden, where this big tree adds on a special ambience to the whole place

One special thing about this place, is that they focus more on conscious dining, as already indicated at their signage. For selected dishes you ordered, you can actually refer to their indicators!

Breadroll was served without ordering. Freshly-baked bread, with some sort of a sour-cream dipping sauce. But I vaguely heard it consists of yoghurt?

Pan Seared Scallops ($20.00), with asparagus, truffle and mushroom vinaigrette. I do love the presentation, and scallops are squishy in my mouth too!

Wild Mushroom soup ($18.00), with boudin blanc, shimeji mushroom, and leek ravioli. Taste of herbs, and it is a "clean" soup, which doesn't seems to contain much/any MSG.

Roasted Chicken Roulade ($32.00), with green pea puree, asparagus, wild mushroom, and chicken jus. Presentation is good, but failed in taste. Chicken within is hard to chew, and pretty tasteless though.

Coriander Marinated Chicken Breast ($28.00) wrapped in whole wheat tortilla, with carrot-mango slaw and citrus yoghurt. This is also the only dish that has the indicator, statign contains ingredients that help to lower cholesterol level.

This is better than the chicken roulade, and there is this grilled scent from the tortilla. A bundle of carrots, with a few pieces of meat in it. But hey, I love their root vegetable crisps, as though it's LAYS?!

Another thing about The Garden is that you can see chef preparing your food, more like an open-kitchen type?
