Yaay finally the wait is over! IKEA opened their first store in Indonesia in October 2014 and a while ago, my friend and I went there. IKEA itself is a multinational group of companies from Sweden that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture (such as beds, chairs and desks), appliances and home accessories. Though it was lack of transportation (FYI, we can reach IKEA by shuttle (weekend only), taxi, or our own car, motorcycle, bike, whatever), we were very encouraged and excited to see IKEA
*hahaha*
*hahaha*
Market hall, Swedish food market, bistro, and self service furniture area are in the first floor, while cafetaria and showroom are in the second floor. IKEA was extremely huge and we were hungry because we wandered around IKEA for a long time :p
So now, let’s focused on the cafetariaa~

IKEA Swedish Meatball IDR 40k/10pcs and IDR 60k/20pcs and Swedish Poached Salmon with Chive Sauce IDR 60k
Swedish Meatball are served with potato, cream gravy sauce, and pickled cucumber.
Swedish Poached Salmon are served with potato and broccoli
Too much people are queuing for this kind of food, IKEA's Swedish Meatballs (plus French fries, sold separately). Since we haven't tried the pork one, or the cranberry sauce oversea, so we couldn’t compare this to another hehee. The meatballs are soft, and they matched perfectly with the gravy sauce, though the mashed potato tasted a bit weird. But my friend said that the sauce was plain, so she added chili sauce on it (you can see it at the photo of her modified Swedish Meatball :p)

The salmon was well-cooked but it tasted plain, kinda lack of seasoning. The salmon tasted good with that Chive sauce, and the sauce tasted weird without the salmon. They destined to be eaten together, I think. The broccoli was fresh and crunchy. The plating was messy~ (IKEA was so crowded that day)
Overall, the food were quite nice. And because we were running out of time, we went home immediately after enjoying the food. I definitely will come back next time~ hejdå! (Swedish language of ‘goodbye’)
