Swedish Meets Italian

A quick updates on what i ate during the weekends. Saturday late dinner at Ikea Tampines. We reached there around 9pm, and there wasn't any varieties to chose from, therefore dear darling chose the Chicken Thigh ($7.20, it comes with potatoes) and am chose the Poached Salmon ($6.50, it comes with broccoli's and potatoes). And not forgetting Swedish meatballs with boiled potatoes and the sweet jam ($6.80). We didn't ordered the chicken wings because we had KFC for lunch earlier on . Ahahaha i know, weekends are for sinful dining.

Dear darling's Chicken Thigh. The thigh is tender and juicy.


Am Poached Salmon, i like their broccolis. They always cook their broccolis soft and sweet. The salmon's portion are just nice for me. Salmon are juicy accompanied with their yummy sauce.


Our Swedish meatballs. We ordered 10 Swedish meatballs. DD happily ate 7 meatballs 'unintentionally', and am was left with 3 meatballs.


Total Damage = $22.40


Sunday evening. DD and am met up with bro for dinner after his work. As usual, we couldn't decided on where to eat. Am suggested we go eat Ayam Penyet (Flattened Chicken) opposite Beach Road Shaw Center. We've parked our car at Shaw center and before crossing to AyamPenyet house, we decided to check out whether Creation opens on Sunday. To our surprise, it was OPEN! Cuz it used to close on every Sundays. Hahahaha so we switched to having dinner at Creation.

Bro and am had Carbonara Spaghetti and DD had Chicken Alfredo. Each pasta comes with a soup of the day, a dessert and a drink. For the dessert, we can get to chose Apple Crumble or Chocolate Brownies. The 3 of us chose Brownies.


Potato Soup with a half slice of garlic bread. Yummy soup.


Am and Bro Carbonara Spaghetti. I couldn't find any place that sells Carbornara as good as Creation. The sauce was just nice, not too creamy and not too dry. There's ham, sausages and mushroom in it. Very filling.



DD's Chicken Alfredo. Although it is also cream sauce base, it is somewhat abit different from Carbornara. Quite good also.



Lastly, chocolate brownies puts a sweet end to our meal. The brownies are superb. It's not too sweet and it was baked just nice that it doesn't breaks easily and at the same time it was soft and chewy.


Total Damage = $45.60 (no GST & Service Charge)
Set Lunch = $11.20 (without dessert)
Set Dinner = $15.20
Location: 100 Beach Road, #01-43 Shaw Leisure Gallery

Can go try Ristorante Valentino at Rifle Range, excellent italian fine dining, but pretty ex, about 150 per pax. Pasta brava which is cheaper about 60 per pax is good also, it is located at tanjong pagar. If you want something more economical, ricotti is worth a try about 40 per pax
