Of Donuts & Meatballs

Last Friday, I was happily watching Episode 7 of Malaysian Dreamgirl, while waiting for it to load I read some of the blogs from my blog roll. I stumbled upon Michelle's entry on Big Apple Donuts whyla she's post something so evil and tempting, trying to lose weight here leh. Oh, she's so evil that she must have got Wenqi's Evil Look when she's posting the entry.

The famous Wenqi Evil Look

After that temptation read, I just have to sink my teeth into those deliciously looking donuts. So, I say wtf, I'll just drive down to The Curve and order as many donut as possible. Muahahahaha....

So, you'll see me doing the never seen before Wenqi WTF Look.

Wtf?

Picture of Wenqi Evil Look stolen from KY and picture of Wenqi WTF Look stolen from Kim.

So, I arrived at The Curve, went straight to Big Apple Donuts & Coffee, lucky the the queue is not very long. I ordered this:

Caffe Latte and the free Glacier Donut.

What? 1 free donut is enough, no way, at least must have The Alien as posted by Michelle. I also bought the Duran Duran and Kimochi.

Kimochi, The Alien, and Duran Duran.

Kimochi, donut with almond and nuts. Not too sweet and nutty taste from the almond and nuts is just perfect. I like this.

Rating: 4/5

Duran Duran, is actually donut with durian cream inside. Find it lack of durian taste but still acceptable.

Rating: 3/5

The Alien, is very reach with chocolate indeed. Covered with dark chocolate on the outside and inside there's dark chocolate cream. It's so chocolaty yet not too sweet. Perfect. No wonder Michelle like it so much until she have to postpone the post of movie 'L change the World'. It's a must try for those of you that like chocolate.

As the title say it's about donuts and meatballs. No, Big Apple Donuts do not have a new product call the Meatballs. To find meatballs, I have to walk across to Ikea just opposite The Curve and savor their famous Swedish meatballs.

Once in Ikea, take the elevator and turn right, you'll find a shortcut to the restaurant. If not, you'll have to walk through the showroom only you can find the restaurant. Ikea call it restaurant but to me it is like the cafeteria the you'll see in the high school of US TV series. You have to queue up, take the utensils, grab your food or order your food, and pay for your food in a very systematic way. Feels like the military except that the food is better.

Queuing up to get food.




Cold dishes that you can take. There's prawn salad and salmon gravlax.

I grab a plate for Salmon Gravlax which is cured salmon as appetizer, it comes with honey mustard sauce. Of course, the must have is the famous Swedish meatballs. Since I had 4 donuts already, I ordered 5 meatballs which comes with French Fries. They have options of 5, 10, and 15 meatballs all comes with French Fries.

My balls meatballs and fries.

The brown sauce that comes with the meatballs is kind of bland in taste and the meatballs are kind of processed feel. At first I thought it's like the texture where you can fell chunk of meat. The texture here feels like processed fish ball just that this is harder. I think the meatballs here might be a bit overrated. Also, I don't know why they put a bit Raspberry sauce too. Really, I don't fancy salty mixed with sweet.

Salmon Gravlax and honey mustard sauce.

The salmon Gravlax on the other hand is good and it goes well with the honey mustard sauce. You can still taste the salmon and it's not covered by the marinate. It's a good choice for appetizer.

The restaurant that looks more like a cafeteria.




The meatballs sure is value for money though.




I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't see this so I didn't clear my own table. :p

By the way, Gravlax is also called Gravad Lax in Swedish according to Wikipedia. Ikea is selling the salmon Gravad Lax in their mini supermarket so you can dish it up at home. I also went there to do some food sampling. The cheese not bad too. There's also ABBA canned Anchovies and other canned fishes.

Ok, that's my adventure of donuts and meatballs. I still have to kill Michelle for posting the donut. See ya.
