___IKEA!
I like IKEA. It has a nice, cheery feel to it and I just love seeing furniture which appeal to my senses. The fact that band people love going there to buy sweet little farewell gifts at very affordable prices, makes IKEA all the more memorable for me. And today I visited the new branch of IKEA at Tampines!
The number of people was rather daunting. Horrendous in fact. I never knew Singaporeans love furniture to this extent! haha I realised in the end that most of them came for the food and perhaps simply to experience the feel of this entirely new attraction. The queue at the restaurant was easily 100 people long when we arrived to have dinner. My mum refused to give up her quest for the yummylicious chicken wings and insisted on queueing. I seriously thought she was mad. But surprisingly we got into the restaurant within 10 minutes! Only to realise that the longer queue ahead was waiting for us - the FOOD QUEUE. Oh my I think I just spent my entire time at IKEA queueing!!
Anyway, I must say that all the queueing was quite worth it afterall for the wonderful food that we got in return. I love love love the chicken wings and the swedish meatballs and the cheesecake! I wanted to eat more to make full use of my queueing efforts but I guess my stomach isnt that huge afterall haha!
The PEOPLE. This is like only 1/1000 of the people there!!
The funnily interesting contraption they provide for us to place our trays of food on. I was extremely fascinated with it!
The really GOOD FOOD. The usual favourites (chicken wings and meatballs) truly shone. But I felt that the poached salmon didn't really impress. Oh well, I still felt so blissful while enjoying all that food!
Cheesecake cheesecake! I think this cheesecake is damn good, and it ranks among one of the best I've ever eaten!
Okay this post is making me quite hungry. And anyway this is so random but I like my new phone because I have a greater freedom to take photos ANYWHERE I GO! (:
