Why are there so many people commenting his English? How good the person is as a manager is more than his command of English, isn't it? He could be a great leader- empathetic, consultative, analytic, having amazing work ethic etc. Some people are just jealous of what this fellow is doing.

Dunno why the comments section so harsh on this guy. His expertise is in food, marketing, consumer preferences etc. Not politician or businessman or salesman. Calm your tits down jokers, and cut him some slack. Fine he cocked up the pronunciation of Ikea but overall he did a pretty decent run-thru here.

I'm Swedish and this does look really good! Do have to say though that the Falukorv is quite a bit off. While Falukorv does come in rings like seen in the video, the real Falukorv is a lot thicker with a diameter of some 5-7cm range and it's usually served sliced and the slices are pan fried, alternatively the whole Falukorv is cooked in the oven after making some partial slices into it and stuffing the gaps with cheese and sometimes it's covered with mustard as well. Another way to serve it is by making Korv stroganoff where the Falukorv is sliced and then the slices are cut into smaller pieces (think short fries almost) and cooked in a rich, creamy sauce that is flavored with ketchup and has onion in it. Korv stroganoff is ideally served with rice (usually long grain, not the very fragant kinds like jasmin or basmati) or mashed potatoes. Just pan fried slices of Falukorv goes well with creamy potatoes seasoned with parsley (basically small pieces of potatoes in a white sauce), some types of pasta, mashed potatoes or with fried eggs and fried chunks of leftover potatoes (the latter combination makes a good breakfast as well, but can be eaten anytime of the day)

Hats off to all those old grannies making Swedish meatballs for IKEA restaurants 🫡

matching the food to the picture - this is what I like best from the Food Manager

Aeson is such a hands-on leader! kudos for the ability to explain all of the products well. Will definitely try that mushroom soon.

KZfaq is scary. I just mentioned about going to dine in Ikea Jurong and this vid appeared top on my recommended list.

I personally love eating at the food court whenever I go to IKEA in the USA, it looks like I have to add this to my list of things to do when I visit Singapore in the future! I like how serious the manager is about the elements of the food (visuals, texture, smell, taste, etc.), you can tell he's very passionate about his job.

I really liked this interview. The interviewer said just enough to get the manager to tell us all about Ikea's food and not try to be the expert herself, which she might as have well been.

Love from Sweden fellow Singaporeans

i miss the older version of the salmon where it has those vegetable "cakes" and this tangy white sauce ;-;

😊🙏 Noticing the many older , more experienced & dutiful kitchen crew in this IKEA eatery , no wonder IKEA foods are always well prepared & served! 🙏 Thank You So Much IKEA for giving customers your good services & foods over the decades & to CNA for the sneak peek into IKEA's kitchen! 🌷🌿🌏💜🕊🇸🇪

I searched up May OF days ago, and i got this as my recommendation. Wow. Just wow.

As someone who goes to IKEA Tampines wayyy too often, just for the food. This was a fun watch! :D

Malaysia Ikea got generous portion of delicious tender beef ribs at a great price

I want to know more about the freshness of the ingredients. Like how long they keep the frozen ingredients and so on.

that whole tasting menu looks incredible…keep it up 🥳

IKEA's approach to blending tradition with efficiency in their food service, particularly with the hand-rolled meatballs, shows their commitment to quality and authenticity. It’s impressive how they tailor their menu to local tastes while maintaining a fast and efficient self-serve system. 🍽

I wish the hawker centres are as clean as ikea kitchen.

Chicken Wings and chocolate cake are yummy! Great that they vary the menu to local taste.

Is it bad to eat food cooked/ heat up in plastic? Eg sauces in plastic

i love this guy❤hes so inventive, and good at creating hospitality

I love his insight that the food should look like the picture. I like the meatballs and my sister bought 1 kg of it. I would cook it in tomato sauce or eat it with jam and gravy. The mushroom soup is an acquired taste.

its nice he calls his colleagues co-workers

She is so cute and very excited

I see it, I love it and I grab it

Always love IKEA foods! Hats off!!

Chicken wing magic literally when its round!

Can ikea pls take note of the temperature of yr food as the aircon temperature is usually very cooling and by the time my food reach the table,it will be only lukewarm.Have feedback to ikea before but no improvement to the food temperature as it is still warm and not hot with smoke.

Love those round chicken wings!

3:26 to match the photos to the dishes

The menu is damn confusing. The menu keep flashing around on the screen. Cannot stay still. Cannot see whats in their menu

I've enjoyed food from IKEA for many years! My only gripe is , the servers at JEM. Always grumpy and rude. Doesn't matter if it's peak or off peak timings. Recommend to go other outlets except JEM

Tried their pork cutlet today. HUGE portion, a little gamey, overall pretty decent.

I love dipping the fries into meatball sauce.

Keyword: “impulse buying” 😂

wah syiok, got foot long sausage coming soon!

my dream job af

IKEA food is bang for your buck. JEM outlet has food servers who are on another level of service. Rolled eyes.. “speak up! I can’t hear you!” are just a few amazing experiences you can expect. Have fun! 🙂‍↕️

mmmm...not just the meatballs but the freshly cooked chicken wings :) Now, if only people can get a seat when they go there to eat.

Why IKEA Singapore no rice dishes!

Ikea says, "It's Ee-kay-uh, not Ai-kay-uh." I don't understand how a relatively senior member of their staff can repeatedly say Ai-kay-uh!

Best Chicken Wings in town. Never fails

Is this a paid or sponsored episode?

In my country ikea food are considered luxury. You can buy 3 normal meal for 1 ikea meal

The standard of IKEA food is deteoriating in comparison to the past. The cleanliness is also quite disappointing these days.

how one says ikea doesn't matter yall it's not that deep🙏

ooo they have fried mushrooms now!

So, that falukor is not how real falukorv really looks like. But I bet it is still yummy.

Ikea needs to serve pork sausage. Last time they had and suddenly disappeared and replace by chicken, nothing like pork sausage as European food and its traditional

175 workers for 3 outlets??? So much?

When someone's accent is different than yours, it's a charactertic trait of that person, not a flaw. Wherever you are from, your English will be DIFFERENT than another person from you country, that does not mean their English is bad or worst. Think about it again, if his English IS BAD, then most likely, he speaks another language BETTER than you.

Really love the variety of dishes available but just hope for the veggie sides to be cooked more thoroughly or just change out the water more often, every time it tastes so much like there are chemical residues... Maybe not everyone cares but I really don't like wasting food!

Good healthy food for diet...

I thought IKEA themselves came out to say it's pronounced "ee-kay-ya"?

I love ikea Malaysia food

texture-wise is flavorful

Sadly, the taste of their köttbullar (meatballs) isn't as good as when I first tried in 2007 at the Tampines outlet. I have eaten a few times during the period in between then and now, and the balls seem to have gotten bland and plain as time went on, sometimes gamey.

Can IKEA bring back the delicious chicken cutlet with salted egg sauce??? If today is my last day on earth, this will be my final meal ❤

5:02 "Texture-wise, it is flavourful" What?? Texture and flavour are 2 different aspects, boss.

Atas review for ikea food

the manager sound vaguely similar to steven he 😅

The god dxxn meatball looks the same here in US

The whole interview is so awkward.

It’s funny most Singaporeans pronounce ikea starting with an E which is what Swedish people do while he did the American and English way of starting with an I….

Personally, this feature does not dive deep enough to be informative. Seems more like a publicity stunt

i pronounce it as "ee · kay · uh" all my life.

Pasta sauce is too sweet

Not so affordable

MUSHROOMMMM!!!!

They are all process food from a box

Beautiful dog food

Its Poison?

The Msia Ikea meatballs in Penang are terrible, totally different taste vs KL and Thailand

The food quality at IKEA cafe is terrible now. I cannot understand the continued popularity. Coffee is just plain bad, shame to call it coffee. The salmon is less than half the size it used to be. Everything tastes artificial and highly processed. A shadow of what it used to be.

Decades old machine still say state of the art..wow

Regional Manager should know its pronounced YEE KYUH not AYE KEE YUH. Confirmed with my swedish colleague 😂

6:42

Love the moderator. She did her study, and knowledgeable!

Uhhh, why is the manager even pronouncing his own company wrong? Isn't ee-kay-uh instead of iKea like iPhone?

Tried IKEA meatballs. IMO it sucks. Just like western food in general. For someone who are accustomed to herbs and spices, the meatballs are very bland. Meatball themselves tasted fine but put everything together, they're pretty lackluster. They have something, a dollop of raspberry sauce(?) added which is akin to acar buah which is fine if you think of it that way but the gravy itself is already sweet so it became sickly sweet. Maybe iuf you're younger and/or dont care too much about sugar/diabetes then its fine. The karipap / curry puff on the other hand is great. Big portion, definitely worth the money (if you buy in set).

As a Swedish I can say that that’s not a falukorv sausage 😡

🤣😂🤣. Nice accent by the manager. .👌💯. 😋😋

8 minutes of IKEA ads

i thought IKEA only sells furniture

I'm not a fan of their food except for the smoked salmon appetiser and dill mustard sauce

Why can’t the host and guest speak according to the dialogue given?

I bet isiah hit that

This interview was so painful to watch and not because of Aeson but rather because of May. She could not hold a conversation or interview for dear life! English might not be Aeson’s first language, but he was trying very hard to share more about IKEA’s offerings. Meanwhile May was just giving statements rather than questions to ask him more about his role, and being so awkward with her body language and facial expressions. CNA, you can do better.

Having seen what was offered at IKEA HK, have to say the SG current offerings are boring. Even the famous chicken wings are no longer great. Hopefully your new menu will improve the offerings.

he never mentioned what the ingredients of the meatballs are only the shape? which means..............................................food that tastes heavenly but is actually bolsht and unhealthy ingredients

shes cute !

It's so exciting to eat these food that will KILL YOU! Carry on!

IKEA NASI LEMAK ROTI PRATA..CHICKEN RICE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting topic but prosaic female presenter with poor gastronomic knowledge was a major letdown.

Both of them pronouncing Ikea wrongly kills me. 😂

Colleagues not co workers

Personally, I feel the taste of food has dropped. Maybe not to my taste. And please do something about the cups. I think the dishwasher is not doing such a good job.

Guy have a machine face..too much processed machine foods

photo match the food? have u seen your salmon? 🤣
