Fuss free comfort dining

IKEA Café (Kowloon Bay)

I have always wanted to try this place but Megabox is inconveniently located.

Last time I attempted to try this place, there were quite a lot of people so I gave up.

This time I came during off-peak hours, so the queue was not that long!

Basically, you grab a trolley and push it along the counter and take/order the items that you want.

The ordering style is very common in other countries but I don't know why it takes a Swedish company to be the first in Hong Kong.

It is also mind baffling that other places have not copied this style because when something is successful and making money, there are always market followers.

Having the trolley made me feel at ease because I could get whatever I wanted and stacked it on the trolley without having to worry how I was going to bring it to the table.

There were quite a few items they did not have: salmon steak, Cheese and spinach pancakes, fish filet in breadcrumbs, spinach salmon pie and fried cheese.

My trolley of food!~

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Vegetable medallions:

The vegetable medallions were nice, mixed with lots of brocoli and potatoes.
However they were soggy and heavy compared to TUCK SHOP who cooked it better.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Swedish meatballs with cream sauce:

The meatballs were nice and soft, complemented by the delicious gravy and sweet jam.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Golden chicken wings:

The chicken wings were not memorable because they were tasteless.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Swedish curry shrimp with pasta:

The pasta curry was surprisingly nice, it tasted like a light curry which is similar to Japanese curries with the odd pieces of potatoes, prawns here and there.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Prawns:

The prawns were meaty with lots of prawn roe beneath the shell. They were sweet and slightly salty due to the brine that it was in.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Salmon lasagne:

The salmon was a bit too fishy and the tomato sauce did not match the lasagne.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

All those items above and it did not break the bank.
The price is similar to eating at Saizeyria.

Almond tart @ IKEA FiKET

IKEA FiKET (Kowloon Bay)
After dining at IKEA decided to try this place as well.

They serve light snacks and drinks at FiKET.
They had meatball burgers and cute bottles of soy milk.

Almond tart:
The almond tart was nice and nutty with lots of almond sprinkled on top.
It was not too sweet but the almond taste was not strong enough.

$100 shopping spree at IKEA

IKEA Café (Kowloon Bay)
Thanks to Megabox promotions for this $100 cash coupon that I got from the Ramen Champion tasting event.

I spent it immediately that night


I got three items and it was exactly $100

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Rosti:This was basically coarsely grated potato shaped like a patty and frozen.
After it was cooked there was a nice crisp texture and the rosti had a nice potato taste similar to hash browns.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Crab spread (Pastej krabbe):The crab spread was contained in this huge tube.




The crab spread had a pinkish colour with lots of herbs
It was quite salty and had a strong dill taste.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Tarta Chokladkrokant:
They also have at the cafe, but it does not have cream on top.

The packaging is idiot proof and gives information on the number of servings and that it is a frozen product.

The cake is best cut when it is frozen because the cream is hard.

The pie was delicious with generous pieces of nuts in it.
It was not too sweet and the cream, chocolate and tart base tasted great together.

Swedish meatballs @ IKEA Bistro

Came here for the Swedish meatballs because they are a cheap and fast fix when you’re in a hurry.

This time there was lots of jam but less gravy so it was slightly too sweet.
However the meatballs were not hot enough.

Meat balls with JAM!! @ IKEA bisto

Meat balls served with Jam totally caught my interest so came here to try it, also tried their hotdog and popcorn.
The meatballs were quite soft, and the texture is a bit like a burger in meat ball form.
I was very surprised the Jam tasted really well with it, it balanced out the lard taste of the meat.

As for the hotdog, it was just a plain simple hot dog, not grilled with oil, but slightly dry.
