IKEA Has New Mala Chicken Wings And Spaghetti, Available For A Limited Time Only

IKEA mala chicken wings and more

When IKEA last launched salted egg yolk dishes, Singapore went into a frenzy. Now, the homeware giant has introduced another major food trend to their cafe fare dedicated to all spicy food lovers—mala. From now till February, IKEA mala chicken wings and more offerings to satisfy your hunger the next time you’re furniture shopping.

The IKEA Mala Chicken Wings ($9.50) are set to be the next crowd favourite. Whole wings are coated in a dry mala dressing, tossed with chilli padi to bring on the heat. Spice levels are said to be tolerable, while it’s recommended for you to eat the pieces of dry chilli for extra kick. The skin retains its signature crisp brownness, while the meat is as juicy as it has always been. Sold in plates of six, the wings are best shared with your dining companions. These will be sold till 28 February.

Another mala dish to try is the Mala Chicken Leg With Spaghetti ($9), featuring a browned chicken leg and pasta with a numbingly spicy sauce, as well as a side of broccoli. These are far more limited than the chicken wings, only sold till 7 February.

If you’re not big on spice, then IKEA also has new Barbecue Pork Ribs With Fries ($12), where a tender half-rack of ribs comes dressed in honeyed barbecue sauce. This will be on the menu till 28 February as well.

All dishes are available at the cafeteria of IKEA’s Alexandra and Tampines outlets.
