A visit to IKEA before Hari Raya comes is almost tradition at this point, so we’re pleasantly surprised when we discovered that the Swedish furniture company is also selling festive Raya treats this year.
These halal-certified goodies are available at the Swedish Food Market from 10 April to 12 May, and range from familiar favourites to slightly amped up versions of classic cookies and cakes.
See what’s available:
Cranberries pineapple ball, 360g (S$7.90)
Red velvet cheese cookies, 260g (S$7.90)
Sugee cashew, 200g (S$6.90)
Cheese bangkit, 240g (S$7.90)
Cookies aside, the line-up of IKEA festive treats also includes layer cakes and whole cakes. If you’re a IKEA Family member, the whole cakes are offered at a discounted price.
Original layer cake, 270g (S$7.50)

Festive menu at IKEA Restaurant not halal
The IKEA Restaurant also launched a new festive menu recently. However, these were marked as non-halal on the website.
Upon enquiry by The Halal Eater, IKEA mentioned that they had plans to sell them on the Halal lane, but had to change the plan “due to unforeseen circumstances.”
It is quite a shame as Nasi Kerabu would be perfect for Iftar in between our shopping at IKEA.
However, IKEA also told us that there are two new items in the halal menu: Lamb chop and mashed potato with brown sauce (S$11) and Chicken Chop with Aglio Olio (S$11).
These will start selling from April 12.
