Following the popularity of the shark and turtle buns, IKEA Singapore has released the equally lovable Little Whale Bun With Red Bean Filling this March! At $2.80 a piece, this chonky bun is likely to charm kids and adults alike. The bun can be found at all IKEA Swedish Restaurant outlets in the country.

Like the previous iterations, the whale bun is said to have a thick and smooth red bean filling that is close in flavour to your average tau sar pau. The point of difference is, of course, its adorable whale-like appearance that is reminiscent of Wailord, the water-type Pokemon.

In other IKEA news, the IKEA Swedish Restaurant is bringing back the Kids Eat Free pro for the March holidays. From 13 to 17 March, IKEA Family Members can get their children a free kids meal: either the kids’ portion of meatball, plant balls, or kids pasta (U.P. $3). This offer is applicable for dine-in only, and requires a main to be purchased from the regular adult menu.

25 March is also Waffle Day, so IKEA is offering those fluffy treats that you can order along with the plant-based items! Choose between English Waffle With Lingonberry, Chocolate Sauce And Cream ($3.50) or English Waffle With Marinated Salmon And Green Salad Ikea ($6.00), while stocks last.
