IKEA Restaurant (Alexandra)

Ever since I have been working nearby, I have been wanting to at least try once their salmon and meatball. However, before I could do so, the Circuit Breaker hits and IKEA restaurant was closed for more than 2 months.

Finally when they announced they would be opened on the 29 Jun, I was elated to open one month before my work contract end. I went on a weekday lunch so it wasn't crowded but still have some people there.

I ordered their Meatball which is what most people buy and their Salmon which I have never tried before.

The Salmon fillet is served with potato patty and broccoli. The potato patty is mixed with broccoli which is a unique combination and taste good. However, the broccoli taste mushy. The portion of the Salmon is big too. I would say it is not bad for a family restaurant and it is at an affordable price of $9.90.

Next, I had the 16pcs Swedish Meatballs ($12.50) (2 main dish for myself cause I'm damn hungry haha). The meatball chewy and moist. However, I think it is just alright and I wouldn't come IKEA just for their meatball.

Overall, I feel that being a canteen style family restaurant, it is very good and hope that they introduce more item back in the menu for me to try before my work contract end.

Cream cake with almond paste. It looks tangy and hard, but it's neither, and it's delicious.

You know we are obsessed with cheesecake! 😄 To share with y’all, we venture out to Blueberry mousse and it pays off. This mousse is a new! favourite in town.

Nice shape, texture and taste! 💯 👍 Do try it if you pop to ikea!
P.S. we will be on a trip for a while. Stay tuned where we check out on IG!

The salmon was small in portion and not very impressive, though the vegetable pancake dish was good! The meatballs were soft and tasty, along with the mashed potato that were creamy and flavourful!

And more! We had:
- 16 meatballs ($9.90): comes with mashed potato and broccoli. Meatballs look unexciting but taste much better than they look.
- salmon lasagna: comes with chunks of salmon in lovely cheesiness. Fairly oily though.
- 2 potato cakes: really delicious. There were some sort of greens in it too.
- blueberry cheesecake: not the best
- refillable drinks: hot tea/coffee is 50c, cold drinks are $1.50
Overall the food was good at very affordable prices. Enjoyed it a lot!

We heard a queuing neighbour said ‘yeah it finally comes’. We put it on the tray and grin that it must be good. It turns out to be rather stiff.
