        Better than chicken liau mei

    Is this first time offered? If not what is the serving size last year?

  • +2

    CNY at Ikea! this is peak Ozbargin

  • +2

    Do they provide assembly or do we do it ourselves?

  • +2

    I’m not sure what the deal is as the menu looks very average ?

    • -1

      I agree. This will undoubtedly be average food, eaten in a non-ambient setting, for an average price. Nothing to see here …

  • +3

    Looks and sounds like terrible value! Especially if you're in VIC where the two IKEAs are located in suburbs with high Asian populations!

    • -1

      Totally agree. The only way this would be a good deal is if it was 'all you can eat', and you were allowed to stay for at least 2 hours. Otherwise, at least in VIC, you'd get much better food for your bucks from many of the 'cheap but great' Asian joints in the same suburb.

      • +6

        Also you're supporting local businesses and not some billion dollar corporate that's capitalising on every 'holiday' they can.

    • my thoughts exactly. Literally the Clayton and Richmond stores are surrounded by Asian restaurants. Why go IKEA if not all you can eat?

  • oh well, apparently ozzies love dumplings and everything made from it. Eeverytime I went pass a dumpling shop there are people lining for those tiny little shops.

  • +1

    Who in their right mind would actually go to this? For less than that you can go to your local chinese restaurant….. better food and will actually fill you up.

    • Please post a deal if you can find a bargain

      • What?

        • +1

          For less than that you can go to local chinese restaurant…..

          I would like to know how much you spend and what you had also which restaurants?
          If this is a bargain, please post a deal on ozb, deal?

          • -1

            @HolyCr4p: Just go to any local chinese restaurant.

            • @umoddbro: Which one ? Any recommendation on the price and if i pay less than 25 bucks to get 3 course meals?

              • @HolyCr4p: Here google search: Chinese restaurants near me, don't kid yourself on the 3 course meals. If you want 3 course meals from IKEA its akin to the frozen dimsum platter from woolies. Do you really think IKEA has Chinese chefs ready to cook this course? No, even the meatballs come from a packet and are reheated, that you can buy from their swedish food market. If you really think this is a deal then I guess there is a market for anything and anyone :)

                • @umoddbro: I gave 2 star review for my local Chinese restaurant on google. So yeah nah to my local chinese restaurant
                  Can you validate your claim that you paid less and what kind food you received ? :)

                  • @HolyCr4p: Here simple since you love to try and validate this deal, quantity ≠ quality, just like a $15 'gaming mice' from ebay does not equal a Razer Viper V2 Pro. If that's your case does that mean I should post a deal for every $15 gaming mice on ebay? Hey its a proclaimed 'gaming mice' should do the job the same right? No.

                    • +2

                      @umoddbro: Maybe you should re-read what you posted.

                      For less than that you can go to your local chinese restaurant

                      my local chinese doesnt offer less this price.

                      Since you are the expert of "chinese local restaurant" on google 😉
                      Which of your local chinese restaurant offer less than this ? What menu did you get?

                      • +1

                        @HolyCr4p: Here's your 3 course meal my friend :)

                          @umoddbro: You eat them raw (chuckle)? No cook first? Lol.
                          How much is the gass, water, electricity etc?

                          • @HolyCr4p: Well hey you're eating at IKEA, why would you care about that? You have $3.46 to spend on gas, water and electricity. Go hard buddy!

                            • -1

                              @umoddbro: Will go hard "buddy" when i try their food as better than yours and i might go to hospital after eating your raw and uncook food 😉

                                @HolyCr4p: I'm gonna bookmark your comment, please update us on how your 'Lunar New Year Dining Experience' at IKEA was like :) Don't forget to include photos.

                                • -1

                                  @umoddbro: Also please include photos as well after you bought those items from coles and share us your creation uncookedly :)

                                  • @HolyCr4p: Sorry but I forgot the part where I said this 'deal' was good? Don't try and play the reverse card. I think this deal is as shoddy as it gets, and as an Asian myself I don't wish for anyone to eat this for CNY. My coles list was to prove a point that quantity ≠ quality. Holy crap (no pun intended, but all my comments have flew way past your head :(

                                    • @umoddbro: Yep yep yep yep…. please share your creation from coles perth uncooked.
                                      Well if you might need to go to specsavers first to see what you posted and what you answered. Nothing related 🤣

                                      It is free country. You dont want to go to Ikea, i dont care. Other people want to go

                                      • @HolyCr4p: That's a bit rich coming from someone who has completely misinterpreted everything I've said thus far.

                                        Yes its a free country, I can also voice my opinion on a deal I don't think is good. If you don't like my comment, neg and move on no need to reply to me. I'm only replying to you cause you did it first. Do you see how ignorant you look?

                    @HolyCr4p: Hey HoleCrap

                    What state/city do you live in? Here in Melbourne, in just about any region within 20 km of the city you can locate a 'grass-roots' (read 'no frills') Asian restaurant that will serve you a LOT of very nice food for $30. My guess is that umod lives in Sydney or Melbourne, where great Asian food is plentiful and cheap, whereas you live somewhere like Perth or Tasmania?

                    We are spoiled for choice when it comes to Asian food in Sydney and Melbourne. I pity the Aussie who has to go to IKEA and spend $30 per head for a (possibly) reasonable Asian meal!

                    • +1

                      @GnarlyKnuckles:

                      who has to go to Ikea and spend $30 per head

                      Should have gone to specsavers first before go to your asian food :)

                      • @HolyCr4p: I have no idea what you mean. Would you care to explain it to everyone please?

  • +3

    this is a joke of a meal for cny

  • +1

    This deal may suit customers who will be shopping at Ikea and enjoy Asian fusion meals. May also have children under 5 who will eat for free.
    For CNY, I expect Yee Sang and lobster. More than $30 though.

  • -1

    Why are they using a Caucasian person wearing black AND eating Swedish meatballs with mash to promote Chinese / lunar new year. Who approved this marketing campaign?

    Also the food in the photo does not match the description of food being offered on the day. Another way to extract additional revenue from consumers.

    • +2

      Exactly, they don't really care about your holiday they only care about milking as much money as they can. Quite shameless.

      • +3

        Black is also a bad luck colour to wear during lunar new year.
        Couldn’t they find more diversity for the model or at least represent someone from the culture. I’m all for celebrating all cultures but this smells of money

        • +1

          Good point, they clearly put this together without doing any research. The food in the photo doesn't even match the menu LOL.I can't imagine eating at IKEA for CNY, guaranteed bad luck for the rest of the year.

        • +1

          You got downvoted for being spot on. The color black is viewed as bad luck during CNY. No company in Asia will ever advertise a product with the color black for a CNY festival. It has to be red or gold.

    • They are Swedish

  • … It's Combination Hot Pot AND the tofu + wings etc. The family sign up is free. So $25 isn't too bad imo. Yes you can do better, but probably just targeting people after a bit of variety at IKEA.

  • chicken wings as main course…what a feast

  • -1

    LMAO, paying Swedish to cook Chinese traditional food… I'll pass!

  • -4

    LMAO, paying Swedish to serve chiense food, and its not even that cheap considering the menu.. I'd rather they try to sell some lantern craft etc.

  • +3

    There is no such thing as Singapore Noodles in Singapore. This curry flavoured noodle dish is a western creation and doesnt exist in Singapore.

    • Exactly. It is loosely translated as Singapore noodle, which is actually vermicelli. When Fergie from BEP performed in Singapore not long ago. She asked the crowd 'did you had your singapore noodle for dinner?' Everyone looked at each other in amazement! Wonder what the hell she was talking about!! lol

  • -4

    Viet food in the photo lol clearly has no idea

  • +2

    The food is as cheap as chip. Not worth it.

  • +1

    Some vegie dumplings, carb and chicken wings with dessert. I dont think that is a chinese new year feast

  • -1

    IKEA food is disgusting and overpriced at the best of times. I can't imagine how bad IKEA Chinese food would be.

    You'd be better off going down to Woolworths and getting a bunch of frozen dumplings and hot pot mix. Cheaper and better quality.

  • +2

    This are the food not nomally eaten at a real LNY feast. Its so westernised. Bring on abalone, sea cucumbers and shark fins. lol

  • +1

    Just noticed there is a picture of some of the dishes in the LNY experience in the middle of this page. Different to the incorrect photo on the PDF download.
