As the fasting month approaches and the subsequent Hari Raya celebration does too, many Muslims are probably planning their preparations already.
Apart from seeking the most fashionable outfits and new homeware, adorning the house with sweet treats like kuehs, cookies and cakes is a must.
This year, they’ll be able to find all that at the most unsuspecting place – Swedish furntiure store IKEA – which has released halal cookies and cakes for the upcoming festivity.
In a post on Friday (9 Apr), Facebook page Singapore Atrium Sale (SAS) shared about the recent arrival of Hari Raya snacks at IKEA’s Tampines outlet.
With a myriad of cookies and cakes to choose from, you’ll be sure to impress your friends and family this festive season.
Out of all the treats, many households would likely need at least a set of the quintessential Layer Cake or kueh lapis.

If the cranberry galore isn’t really up your alley, go for the safer option of Red Velvet Cheese Cookies instead, which you can’t go wrong with.

With a whole lot of affordable options to choose from, taking a quick stop from your regular IKEA homeware run won’t be a bad idea after all.
While SAS has only spotted the Hari Raya goodies at IKEA Tampines only, they believe the items should be available at the Alexandra outlet too.
Here’s how you can get to both, just in case:

IKEA Tampines

Now that Hari Raya goodies are available at IKEA, trips to the Swedish furniture store need not be for homeware and décor only.
