Swedish Meal @ IKEA Tampines

It was one of those days where I had a sudden craving for IKEA food, mind you, I do go over to IKEA@Mutiara Damansara a lot with my family for meals but it’s quality pales in comparison to what IKEA@Singapore can offer. The IKEA of choice whenever I’m in Singapore? Is the one at Tampines, maybe it’s because I’m more familiar with that area than the one at Alexander Road.

As there’s only limited choice of what you can order at IKEA, I ordered the Chicken Drumstick meal which consist of a piece of baked chicken leg served with coleslaw, mashed potato and baby carrots on the side. The way it’s prepared is basically similar to the way it’s prepared in IKEA@Mutiara Damansara except that here, they use baby carrots while the one in Malaysia served with sliced carrots. (more…)

St. Louis Pork Ribs @ Cafe Cartel

While I was in Singapore, I was told of a nice place to go for dinner that I’d simply love. So without much delay it was off to Tampines Mall for dinner.

Walked around the mall, we came up to Cafe Cartel and right smack at the entrance, I saw this huge poster saying St. Louis Pork Ribs. PORK RIBS! WOO HOO!!! Anyway, that was just how my heart was screaming but on the outside, I was as cool as a cucumber. We walked right in, told the waitress that we need a table for 2 and promptly got ourselves seated. That was as far as good service goes as it took them a good 15minutes to come and take our orders, not that we were not ready but because no one seems to be bothered to look at the direction of their customers especially me even when I was waving my hands holding their menu at them like crazy.
