IKEA Meatballs are back! $1 for 10 pieces only for today

IKEA Singapore will resume selling the popular meatballs today after DNA results by a local independent lab that confirms that meatballs sold locally contain only beef and pork, and the Halal-certified ones are made of beef and chicken.

To celebrate the return of the IKEA meatballs, IKEA Restaurants will be selling them at $1 for 10 pieces on 8 March 2013 (Today). That’s 10 cents a piece.

I bet the place is going to be crowded.

IKEA Singapore temporarily stopped the sales of the meatballs as a precautionary measure after horse meat were detected in the meatballs in Europe. But we all know that the meatballs in Singapore are safe since they are from a different supplier.

Smoothie King open first outlet in Singapore

A new king is here on this sunny island. Smoothie King, the world’s original, nutritious, great tasting smoothie open its first outlet in Singapore at The Centrepoint on 12 December 2012.

Established in 1973, Smoothie King currently has over 700 stores across US, South Korea and other countries. The company plans to open between 25 to 30 stores in Singapore over the next 3 years.

Smoothie King serves 27 different type of smoothies in Singapore and can be customised and enhanced according to your preferences. There are 3 categories of smoothies – Refreshing, Slim & Lite and Nutritious Meals. A 12 ounce (354ml) smoothie is less than 250 calories for those keeping count. You can also add Enhancers such as Antioxidant, Diet Down, Energy, Fibre, Multi Vitamin, Muscle Builder, Probiotic, or Collagen to your smoothie for an additional dollar.

The most popular smoothie in US is the Angel Food. Personally, I prefer the Strawberry X-Treme.

Besides smoothie, Smoothie King also offers a wide range of freshly made healthy wraps, soft tacos and salads. I’ve tried the Fresh Teriyaki Chicken Breast Wrap and Citrus Walnut Salad and I must say that I love it. If health food can taste so good, I don’t mind eating them everyday.

Smoothie King is now open at The Centrepoint. Go check it out.

McDonalds Chicken McNuggets: Buy 1 get 1 free

The curry sauce crisis is over. After almost a week of curry sauce shortage, a new batch of curry sauce has finally arrived Singapore. Rejoice!

The packaging for the new curry sauce is different. Although McDonalds Singapore Facebook page said that it taste the same, I felt that the new curry sauce is a bit watery and not as nice as before.

Anyway, now that curry sauce is back, the best way to celebrate is to have Chicken McNuggets. And lots of them. McDonalds is having a promo from 25 – 29 Nov 2011. Just flash the coupon below and you can buy 1 get 1 free when you buy 6 piece Chicken McNuggets.

Somehow I got this feeling that McDonalds will run out of Chicken McNuggets because of this promo.

Vitamin Water

If you think Vitamin Water is good for you, watch this video.

“No consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”

PS: I’ve never tried Vitamin Water and I don’t know how true is this video. You make your own judgement.
