The verdict

Boleh

Jason revisits IKEA's beef wellington day and finds the food decent but slipping — meatballs look smaller and the chicken wings taste reheated. The mushroom soup and chocolate almond cake are the standouts of an otherwise average visit.

Highlights

  • Price: Chocolate almond cake slice costs RM7.90
  • Taste: Mushroom soup tastes of real mushrooms; wings taste reheated overnight
  • Ambiance: Only a 5-minute queue on a Tuesday
  • Other: Beef wellington was sold out on this visit

Dishes tried

  • Mushroom soup

    real mushroom taste, better than Campbell's

    Score 7.5 out of 10
  • IKEA meatballs

    smaller now but still tastes just as nice

  • Mashed potato

    not as creamy anymore, very light

    Score 6.7 out of 10
  • Chicken wings

    batter not crispy, tastes reheated

    Score 5.5 out of 10
  • Chocolate almond cake

    cold chocolate cream with almonds, average for RM7.90

    Score 7.0 out of 10

Ikea beef wellington. It was a Tuesday, so the queue was only 5 minutes, we took a cake and I got bad news. Excuse me, beef wellington ada eh? Lamb shang ada kan? Lamb shang ada kan? I just reviewed our popular things. Mushroom soup first. Hmm, particular version of Campbell's soup. I like. It has always tasted good. And it's got a strong mushroom taste. Not like Campbell which is more processed. You taste more of the powder. This one is the actual mushroom. Good. I'll give this a 7.5. Of course, the signature Ikea meatball. Why did the meatball become smaller? It does look a bit smaller. The sauce is just as milky as last time. Still decent. She's crazy for the jelly sauce. A bit sweet. Hi, nice to meet you. Yeah. The beef ball does look smaller. It tastes just as nice. Mashed potato. It doesn't feel as creamy anymore. It's very light. It's 6.7 chicken wings. It's a tasty average chicken wing. It's not fair about the food on our shelf. If we put butter and honey, it's more crispy. Hours can be better than this. The fried batter is not as crispy. It looks like it's been cooked overnight and then we just reheat it. It tastes like the chicken wings 5.5. Chocolate almond cake. I've never tried this before. The chocolate cream is cold and there's almonds inside. The texture reminds me of banana cake that's not so moist. It's Massimo whole wheat bread. 7.90 for a thick slice of this portion, I think it's average. I'll give it a 7. Heyyy! Mahana mafos! Mahana mafos!
