IKEA Restaurant (Alexandra)

So @ikeasingapore has decided to take their original fried chicken wings to another level by creating a salted egg flavour. Though we had them taken away, I was still bought over by the scrumptiousness. If you are dining in, probably even more impressive.

Embellished by a luscious coating of creamy salted egg sauce, some might feel that its richness overshadowed the original marinate of the wings, but I wouldn’t mind for the indulgence. Watch the staff toss those wings in a bowl of potentially addictive yellow goodness, sprinkled with curry leaves and sliced chili padi. Not overly creamy or custardy, it actually makes a legit picnic snack.

As you may notice that we are continuing our vegetarian mode this week and hence, we order 12 vege ball With couscous and sour cream. However, later we realize that this set is not included in the “World Food Day campaign” (From 14th-20th Oct) by @ikeasingapore & @foodfromtheheartsg.
.
For every combo meat ball set you purchase $9.90 (from usual price of $12.90), $4 will be used to fund food distribution programme which provides food to the less fortunate families and elderlies. If you visit IKEA this week & wanna support this campaign 👉 Do go for the combo meatball set! We are not sponsored in anyway but always love this kind of social cause and wanna share with y’all. 😁❤️

When we see this new item on board at IKEA Alexandra, we wanna try so bad that we ask the lady to tweak the dish (P.S. we are still on vegetarian mode). Here we go, curry noodle without drumstick! 😜 The curry soup is so good that we easily crown this dish one of our IKEA favorites. We have only 3 ingredients in the bowl: not so oily fried tau pok, bean sprouts, and yellow noodle. Simply the best one can ask for! (One thing we regret is that the curry soup is not 💯 vegetarian as it was boiled with chicken but we did our best to stick to our regime! 😅)

10.10 Deals - $1 only at 10/10/2019 (10 Pieces of Meatballs). Waiting and Queuing time took around 30 minutes for getting 10 pieces of Meatballs. I really like texture of Meatballs quite smooth and taste of Meatballs quite chewy and soft. But the mushroom sauce was quite thick and lingonberry jam was quite sweet. They changed vegetables from broccoli to peas but I felt that boiling broccoli quite hard to eat to be honest and also peas got a bit of bitter taste.

Lotus leaf rice ($6.80) was good with lots of ingredients (salted egg, chestnut, chicken, mushroom) and the cheese tart ($2.60) had a nice crust and cheese filling. IKEA’s chicken wings are always good and their drinks are refillable ($1.50).

The big chicken thigh is the centre of this dish. We wouldn’t compare this dish to other Indonesian restaurants we try here. The plus side of this dish is the fragrant rice (similar to rice served in chicken rice dish) and the power chili 🌶
