I.K.E.A Ramadhan Buffet

Ramblings of a fussy eater, you will hear. Last weekend I went to check out IKEA's Ramadhan Buffet and unfortunately it was very disappointing.

With Swedish Meatballs's in my mind I was rather excited during the ride to IKEA.

But when I got there, the menu written on the so called green board KILLED my wild imagination and cravings that I had in the car.

I was like " Wottt?? Malay menu? What happened to my meatballs?".

The menu for that day was Ayam Masak Minang, Mee Siam, Rice and so on..yes the typical menu that you can get at any other Malay Restaurant near your home or office.

Damn it. If I wanted to eat these stuff 'baik aku pegi Restoran Melayu kat rumah je, tak pun makan kat rumah lagi bagus'.

The buffet costs RM 15.90 per pax for adults. (Ughhh I felt so cheated!).

The food was not all that bad lah but it did not match my imagination.

Well I guess that was my 'rezeki' for the day, but the best part of the Buka Puasa was the 'company' that I was with.

Unless you're up for Malay/Asian Food, forget IKEA's Ramadhan Buffet.

If any of you happen to be an IKEA staff, tell your management that as much as I appreciate their efforts of going local, just retain the lovely Swedish FOOD lah coz they are sooo YUMMY.

Else IKEA won't be a favourite place for customers like me, and I'm telling ya' our population is kinda large.

Hi 'aku'. Thank you for visiting my blog.

To answer all your questions:

1. That's my point. Year in year out they only serve Malay food for Ramadhan. If I want to eat Malay food, baik aku makan kat rumah je atau kedai berhampiran, you know kedai melayu.

Yang u sentap kenapa? U Manager kat IKEA ke or staff Ikea?
