All these pics are taken at ikea Tampines. We love going there. It's only about 10mins' drive away from our place and we can easily spend one whole evening there cos there are so many things to see. The cafe food is quite appetising (think the classic meatballs with jam; chicken wings; I love their braised chicken and curry chicken dishes too!) and reasonably priced so we go there for dinner at least once a fortnight. Ying Ying enjoys going there too. She particularly likes the the kids' section cos the whole area is like a huge playground for her. When ikea closes at 10pm, we can drive over to Giant supermaket just opposite to continue our shopping - it opens till 2am. Great huh?
Just recently, ikea started on a no-plastic-bags policy. So now u have gotta pay for all your plastic bags or get the reusable canvas ones. I thought it was a rather brave move. But then, with plastic bags or not, people are still gonna flock to ikea. I am sure people don't go there for the plastic bags, right?
Anyway, NTUC is doing the same but only on the 1st wed of each mth and all proceeds fr the sale of plastic and reusable cloth bags will be donated to charity. Since ikea did not state the latter, cynic husband thinks it is an advertising gimmick and that ikea is just trying to cut cost (again) beneath save-our-environment facade. He says it is so ironic cos ikea is manufacturing so many things in plastic in the first place. Quite true hor?
