LOVE IKEA'S Swedish Meatballs? Here's the Recipe!

 Hari ini aku tiba-tiba je teringat kat meatball IKEA. Aku memang favorite la dengan meatball IKEA ni. Anak aku yang umur 4 tahun pun suka. Dia sorang boleh makan 4 - 5 ketul. Aku memang suka window shopping kat IKEA. Lepas tu makan time memang tak miss dengan meatball ikea.  

Aku pun try la cari resipi nak buat meatball IKEA ni. Alih-alih jumpa pulak dengan original resipi. Aku tak tau la sahih ke ke tak resipi ni. Tapi boleh la pakai. Kata blogger tu resipi ni diambil dari cookbook IKEA. So, kat bawah aku cut n paste je la cara masak. Jimat masa sikit. Cuma nak beritahu, dalam resipi tu ada guna PORK, so, pandai-pandai la modified sikit resipi tu. Jangan la ikut pulak bab tu. kalau nak ikut juga. Lu pikir la sendiri.

Aku pun belum cuba lagi. Nanti ada masa boleh la aku cuba. Okay la, selamat mencuba.
