🍴About the Dishes☕
I couldn't really taste the spiciness in the spicy meat sauce hot dog bun; the meat sauce tastes very much like Italian red sauce drizzled on the hot dog, surprisingly it was quite tasty. The hot dog itself is the kind that is very elastic, unlike the softer type you get at 7-11's big hot dog. (But actually, I prefer the softer kind.) The original flavor ice cream is also one of IKEA's signature items, it's not too sweet and at a great price of just $10, which is hard to find these days. In comparison, McDonald's ice cream cone feels inferior, it's too sweet and has also seen price increases.
🤨Conclusion♥
IKEA focuses on Swedish cuisine, and I remember there are similar restaurants on the 2nd and 4th floors. Since it's quite large, it can really be tiring to stroll around, so it's nice to grab a quick snack and recharge without spending too much time. I hadn’t been here in a long time and was surprised to find they still sell salt and crispy chicken. Next time, I might try the Taiwanese flavors sold at the Swedish restaurant.
