Had lunch at Ikea yesterday. I guess most people are familiar with how popular their meat balls can be. In fact, the queue yesterday was enough to prove it - from the counter right until the entrance. And the distance between these two is not exactly small. Ordered two plates of meatballs with fries, a slice of Dark Chocolate Almond (RM5.00), as well as Apple cake (RM5.00).
Well, the good thing is the meatballs taste just as wonderful as the last time i was here. Gravy is thick and creamy, there is jam puree to mix with the gravy, portions did not shrink etc.
They come in three sizes:
RM10 for 10 pieces
RM14 for 15 pieces
RM17 for 20 pieces
However, i was a little disappointed with the cakes. Dark chocolate almond was nothing but two layers of thin almond cake-like layers and chocolate ganache. There was no bite, no crunch, nothing but chocolatey sweetness. If you are just looking for a quick sugar fix, here it is. But definitely not one of the best cakes around.
Apple cake was also somewhat.. average. I love how juicy the apples were, bursting with juice and flavour with every bite. But somehow, i have the inkling that they were overripe due to the flavour i got when eating the apples. It looks like an apple pie, but unlike a pie crust, an Apple cake has a cake base instead - soft and light. I guess it was alright but if you are too used to taking apple pies instead, this might not go down well with you.
Also had one cup of soft drink and cappuccino. Soft drinks (rm1.50) and coffee (RM2) are refillable drinks!
This is the place to go if:
