IKEA Has Bak Kwa & Mandarin Oranges So You Can Now Prep Your Tummies & Home For CNY

IKEA Celebrates CNY With Bundle Deals On Bak Kwa & Mandarin Oranges

Chinese New Year is almost here and our favourite Swedish furniture store IKEA has joined in the festive fun.

On Thursday (2 Jan), the company launched the IKEA SOLGLIMTAR Collection, which offers CNY-themed decorative items and scrumptious snacks like bak kwa and mandarin oranges.

We bet that your family has a massive shopping list because of the many get-togethers at home.

So, IKEA has decided to make your life easier by stocking up on everything that you may need in one place.

Bak kwa & mandarin oranges

We bet meat lovers are dreaming of sinfully delicious chunks of bak kwa.

Fortunately, there’s no need to wait because IKEA is offering 500g of bak kwa for $22.80. Better watch your cholesterol levels because these thin sinewy slices are pretty damn addictive.

Those who want to be luckier should get mandarin oranges ASAP for good fortune and abundance.

If you’re planning to gift them for friends and family, then check out IKEA’s basket of 24 mandarin oranges for $18.80.

 

Dessert fans shouldn’t miss the assortment of snacks available which include suji ball, almond cookies, bangkit cookies and pineapple tarts from $6.80.

Braised pork belly & yam abacus seeds

Shoppers that need to re-energise after an entire day of shopping can try out the new dishes at IKEA’s restaurants from 24 Jan-9 Feb.

You can feast on a dish of Braised Pork Belly with white rice that is guaranteed to satisfy your tummies for $7.80.

FYI, pork fat is reportedly one of the most nutritious foods in the world, so dig in, and think about the calories later.

Arrive early to get a taste of their soft and chewy yam abacus seeds. They say these signify wealth so we’re hoping our bank accounts get ‘fatter’ in the coming year.

CNY decor & lanterns

IKEA is popular for its furniture and home accessories so we bet that you’ll be spoilt for choice while shopping for decorations.

Their red paper lanterns will make your walls come alive. Plus, these can easily stick to any corner of the room for only $3.90 each.

Keep your kids happy with these yummy candies which cost $15.90 and comes with a stylish 5-compartment metal tin.

Sharing a meal with friends and family is the ‘main event’ of the holidays. Now, you can add to the festive atmosphere with CNY-themed utensils, table cloths, lighting, and even seat cushions from IKEA.

Celebrate CNY with IKEA

These deals are only a few out of the many products that IKEA will offer this festive season. You can check out more deals on IKEA’s website.

The good news is you can enjoy good food now thanks to IKEA’s package deals on bak kwa, mandarin oranges, and cookies which are currently available at IKEA’s Swedish Food Market.
