Meatballs and quiche

We went to IKEA this afternoon. Sejak IKEA pindah to the new location, we all memang tak pernah pergi lagi. So tadi tergerak hati nak pergi sebab nak cari a chest of drawers for Miss 6. We got her the cheapest IKEA drawers a few years ago, Kullen kalau tak silap namanya, but now dah tanggal all the bases of the drawers! I guess sebab Miss 6 ni jenis yang just shove everything in, so drawers yang tak muat tu pun she would try to muat kan everything so mana lah tak kopak the base kan. And probably sebab we got her the cheapest one tu yang tak tahan lama, hehehe.

Sampai kat IKEA tadi, punyalah terpegun sekejap tengok the new building because yang dulu cuma 1 floor aje and quite small. Yang baru ni pulak was quite huge (Perth standard kira besar lah, hehehe). I love jalan2 kat dalam IKEA sebab sambil jalan, sambil berangan. The Other Half pun macam tu jugak, sambil jalan, sambil berangan :-D. I especially love their kitchen areas, if only….

But unbelievable sungguh for me, I didn’t buy anything yang unnecessary. I cuma beli a laundry basket sebab ours dah koyak and a wide spatula so senang nak flip omelet and lempeng :-). We also bought a set of steel drawers for Miss 6 sebab we thought it would be a bit more difficult for her to wreck the steel drawers, hahahaha. Sian dia kena pakai steel drawers to put her clothes in. Takpelah once she’s a bit bigger, we’ll buy her a nice pine one that will last her until she moves out of the house.

Anyway, we had our afternoon tea there but biasalah kan cuma boleh drooling aje tengok their famous meatballs and chicken schnitzels, kalau kat M’sia memang dah lama lah we all makan. Rasa macam sedap sangat2 tengok gambar the meatballs tu. So, balik aje from IKEA tadi terus lah I buat meatballs. But since I tak pernah makan the meatballs set kat IKEA, I had no idea what they serve it with. When I asked The Other Half, he said most probably with chips or mashed potatoes kot. So, that’s what I did for dinner tonite, meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy and steamed veges.

Ada gaya IKEA’s meatballs tak? ;-)

And this was what I made for our picnic dinner yesterday, roast chicken and mushroom quiche. See, still no nasi in our dinner yet!

Psst… Mamak celup sorang tu masih kuat lagi lah his will power. He still hasn’t asked for his rice and curry yet. Wei, sape boleh bagi I tips macam mana nak bagi dia mengalah ye? Sebab I teringin sangat2 nak makan honey lemon chicken ni. And nak makan ni, kena makan dengan nasi tu yang I tak boleh buat lagi. Once dia dah mintak kari and nasi dia, baru lah I boleh buat honey lemon chicken I, hehehe….

  1. Yup, your meatballs ada rupa ikea meatballs. My anak2 suka mkn meatballs dia. Letak cranberry n gravy. I pulak suka hotdog dia. Masa pregnant kan Omar, sekali makan 2 ketul masuk. Tp skrg kat sini tak pernah lah makan meatballs atau hotdog dia. Yg kat Msia pun hotdog dah tak de.

  3. how about this idea? hehe..akak janganlah beli stok benda2 lain yg dia suka makan eg potato, lamb, semua tu...pastikan cuma ada rice aje then bila sampai waktu makan, jez tell him if he wants 2 eat, he has no choice except eat rice..nak tau sape menang the bet, suruhlah dia makan nasi 2 dulu then u'll be the winner...hehe

  6. Salam LG :-D

    Yes LG, as per the others, memang IKEA punya meatballs served dengan cranberry sauce. Lama tak makan dah. Cumanya sometimes we are lucky when Tokeh Kedai yang my husband buat part time tu bila dia buat ramuan kebab dia mesti bagi a tray for us. So, kami pun buat le meatballs - sama tapi tak serupa la... :-D Tapi jadilah....

  7. Ikea meatballs are served with boiled potatoes, ligonberry jam and cream sauce. You should be able to buy both the ligonberry jam and the cream sauce mix from Ikea.

  14. LG,

    Round2 kat IKEA memang best kan? Sy nih naik meroyan jugak la kalo masuk area pinggan mangkuk and kelengkapan dapo2 tuh. Huhu!

    Another meal sedap kat IKEA is the bunga kobis and brokoli di mashed kan together and then baked (kot). :D

    *Sungguh mengancam meatballs itu!

  17. Nora,
    I pulak tak pernah rasa their meatballs sbb masa I kat M'sia dulu, IKEA takde lagi and then everytime balik, memang tak pernah sempat lah nak pergi IKEA tu, hehe. But semlm mmng drooling sgt2 tengok their meatballs n hotdogs too :-).

    Kak Ita,
    hehehe... dia dah suruh I masak kari tapi dia nak makan dgn roti naan instead of nasi. Tak aci lah kan, hehehe

    Tyea,
    hahahaha. Kalau takde potato kat rumah ni, rasanya memang akan sedih TOH ;-). Tapi klu I yg masak nasi sbb I yg nak masak, maknanya I kalah lah, hehehe

    Zaila,
    I pun mcm you jugak, seronok sgt2 bila dpt katalog IKEA. Berangan sampai ke langit, hehehe

    Zarin,
    kesian kat we all kan, bila teringin nak makan IKEA meatballs, kena buat sendiri, hehehe..
    Miss 6 tu ingat drawers dia tu mcm magic cave kot, selagi boleh di sumbat, selagi tu dia akan sumbat! :-D

    Mia's Mom,
    Yang herannya kan, bila I balik M'sia hari tu, sikit pun tak teringin nak pergi IKEA utk mkn their meatballs, hehehe. Lagi teringin nak pergi kedai mamak :-D.
    Untung lah you dah dpt meatballs ready made mcm tu.

    Melina,
    thanks for the info. We did see the lingonberry jam yesterday but didn't really feel like buying it. Next time maybe :-). But we did buy their Daim cake, yummy!!!!

    Jue,
    I ada daun kari kering but nanti I takut I pulak yang meleleh air liur sbb tak tahan cium bau dia nak makan dgn nasi, hahhaha

    Emy,
    I pun rasa I akan buat tu jugak and makan dgn mee goreng chinese style. I tak kisah mkn dgn mee, tp nanti TOH lah yg kaan muncung, hehehe

    Kiah,
    memang best kan window shopping kat IKEA ni :-D

    Ayu,
    Memang betul. I pun rasa mcm nak pergi sorang aje sbb boleh jalan perlahan2, hehehe. Klu pergi dgn hubby, kena explain kat dia yg kita nak jugak browse tengok barang yg kita suka, bukan setakat barang yg dia suka aje, betul tak, hehehe...
    Macam mana rasa roti arang tu?

    el_kz,
    part berangan tu yg paling best masa kat IKEA :-)

    Shiela,
    kwangkwangkwang, betul betul ;-)

    That's why I was so shocked yesterday bila I only bought 2 things aje, hehehe. I love thier kitchen area best :-)
