Ikea 瑞典美食小站 高雄ikea

Located on the first floor of the IKEA in Kaohsiung, there is a "Swedish Food Station" that offers items different from those in the "Swedish Restaurant" on the top floor. The top floor features main dishes like salmon fillets, roasted chicken, Swedish meatballs, and so on, while the first floor follows a light meal route, selling quick snacks such as ice cream, hot dogs, and small meatball boxes. If you're feeling tired after browsing IKEA, this is a great place to recharge.

This time, I tried two flavors of ice cream—sesame milk and durian. The sesame milk had a delightful and rich sesame flavor, perfectly combining the creaminess of milk with the aroma of sesame. It wasn't overly sweet, had a smooth texture, and was really delicious. The durian flavor, on the other hand, was quite special—it had an unmasked durian taste that burst forth immediately. As soon as I took it, my wife couldn’t stand it and shouted, "Get away, it really stinks!" I also heard many people saying that the smell was too strong, but as a durian lover, I could only say, "This is real durian!" The aroma was intense and satisfying—it really surprised me.

However, I'm not sure if these two ice cream flavors are seasonal, as I don't remember seeing them before. I hope the durian flavor will become a regular item on the menu because unique and bold flavors like this are pretty rare, and I always want to try them whenever I visit IKEA. Plus, the prices are quite affordable—each ice cream costs around 20 NT dollars, making it a great value.

Overall, though the IKEA Swedish Food Station only sells small snacks, they are tasty and reasonably priced. I highly recommend it!
