IKEA is always a go to place for people who are tying to get minimalist and functional furnitures.
I personally find it the best place to shop for furniture and get inspired.
Aside from that, it is the best place for all of us to experience Swedish cuisine.
I was craving for their Swedish meatball so the only place to be at is IKEA.
In fact, this is the only place I know that served Swedish food.
Now, lets go!
I have always loved their Swedish meatball and I needed extra gravy and cranberry sauce.
I never really love to mix anything sweet to my main course, but cranberry sauce with Swedish meatball is a must hair pair.
The first time I tried it was when a close friend of mine show me how to and explained how important cranberry sauce is to elevate the taste of the dish.
To date, I am still very grateful to him and I must say I learnt that never say no before trying.
Who knows how we will love new combinations and be brave to explore new taste.
When I was there, I suddenly decided to try something else aside meatball.
I had a hard time since most of the time I was thinking of meatballs and to battle the crave is not easy.
It was until I saw a big sign written “Chef’s recommendation” on the Roast Beef and this is enough to move me to order one.
I love the overall presentation of the dish, 3 big and thick slices of roast beef place on top a mountain of French fries with sautéed diced onions, celery and carrots.
Carrots and beef are a perfect match. It’s like inseparable couple where both were meant to be.
The only down side was the roast beef is cold and some may not like it as the beefy taste and smell starts to build up.
Maybe next time I could ask them for some cranberry sauce. Would it make the dish better?
My sister ordered Poached Salmon. I didn’t manage to taste it since she finished it before I could give it a try.
She was too hungry and had the whole salmon to herself.
The poached salmon were accompanied with steamed broccoli and boiled potatoes as sides.
While my sister said it tasted OK, I was sceptical as the yellow colour sauce in a way disturbed me.
The colour is somehow too pastel yellow and is scary and the colour does not goes well with greens.
