Thoughts: Celebrating its 30th year in Malaysia, 宜家 IKEA officially started in Malaysia on 25 April 1996, when it opened its very first store inside 萬達廣場 1 Utama Shopping Centre in 雪蘭莪州八打靈再也 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The brand moved out of 1 Utama in 2003 and opened its 首家獨立的大型 first standalone large-scale "藍盒子門市 blue-box" store in 珍珠白沙羅 Mutiara Damansara (anchored alongside IPC Shopping Centre, which is developed by Ikano Retail). 
馬來西亞宜家 IKEA Malaysia offers a halal-certified range of Swedish and local foods across its 
🍴🍳♨ 瑞典餐廳 Swedish Restaurant
🍴🍳♨ 瑞典小餐館 Swedish Bistro
🍴🍳♨ 瑞典咖啡館 Swedish Café
🍴🍳♨ 瑞典食品市場 Swedish Food Market
瑞典肉丸 Swedish meatballs (köttbullar) are 瑞典和馬來西亞都很受歡迎 popular in Sweden and Malaysia for two very different reasons as it was 源自於文化傳統 rooted in cultural tradition in Sweden, and 由零售文化和本土化所推動的 driven by retail culture and localization in Malaysia. The 傳統的瑞典菜餚並不包括炸雞翅 traditional Swedish cuisine does not feature deep-fried chicken wings or local-style spiced batter. But in Malaysia's IKEA restaurants, both the 瑞典肉丸 Swedish meatballs and 當地風味的脆皮炸雞翅 local Crispy fried chicken wings are widely considered the classic, 到店必點的經典招牌菜 must-order staples when visiting. The main differences between 傳統的瑞典肉丸 traditional Swedish meatballs (köttbullar) and the 馬來西亞所供應的版 versions served in Malaysia (such as at IKEA Malaysia) come down to 配料 ingredients, 口感以 texture, and 針對當地文化的調整 cultural adaptation": 
肉類構 Meat composition:
經典瑞典肉丸 Traditional Swedish - 牛肉和豬肉碎混合 blend of ground beef and pork.
馬來西亞版改編 Malaysia adaptation - 僅限牛肉 only beef.
質地與烹調 Texture and Preparation:
經典瑞典肉丸 Traditional Swedish - Mixed extensively into a tender, soft, and 略帶糊狀  slightly paste-like consistency, then pan-fried into small, round.
馬來西亞版改編 Malaysia adaptation - 更緊和更有彈性的質地 Feature a firmer, bouncier texture inspired by Asian/Malaysia style beef ball like the (like bakso).
香料與調味 Spicing and Seasoning:
經典瑞典肉丸 Traditional Swedish - 多香果 Allspice and 和肉荳蔻 nutmeg, alongside 擦碎的洋蔥 grated onion, 鹽 salt, and 胡椒 pepper.
馬來西亞版改編 Malaysia adaptation - 較溫和 milder or 洋蔥/香料風味 slightly different onion/spice profile.
配菜 Accompaniments:
經典瑞典肉丸 Traditional Swedish - Served with 口感較細膩的馬鈴薯泥 creamy mashed potatoes (mos), 濃鬱的奶油肉汁 rich cream gravy (gräddsås), 醃黃瓜以 pickled cucumbers, and 酸甜的越橘 tart lingonberry.
馬來西亞版改編 Malaysia adaptation - Served similarly with 馬鈴薯泥 mashed potatoes, 棕色肉汁 brown gravy sauce, and 越橘果醬 lingonberry jam.
Malaysia has 4 full physical IKEA stores, along with an online store, collection points, and pop-up locations: 
🏬 宜家 IKEA @ 蕉賴 Cheras (吉隆坡 Kuala Lumpur) 2015
🏬 宜家 IKEA @ 地不佬 Tebrau (新山 Johor Bahru) 2017
🏬 宜家 IKEA @ 峇都交灣 Batu Kawan (威省 Seberang Prai, 檳城 Penang) 2019
The 在瑞典的宜家 original IKEA is popular in Sweden because it serves as a strategic "虧本引流策略 loss leader" that offers 價格實惠 affordable, comforting meals to 延長顧客在店內的停留時間 keep shoppers inside the store longer. The IKEA restaurant in Malaysia is popular because it 價格親民的西式和瑞典經典菜餚與本地化的馬來西亞菜單相結合 combines affordable Western and Swedish staples with localized Malaysian menus, 清真認證 Halal certification, and 營造出濃厚的家庭友好型用餐氛圍 a strong family-friendly hangout culture.

微软 Surface Pro 4 @ 哈维诺曼 Harvey Norman Ikano Mutiara Damansara

03.08.2017 Electronics
@  哈维诺曼 Harvey Norman IKANO (Click to Google Map)
No. 1 F3, 1st Floor, IPC Shopping Centre, 2, Jalan PJU 7/2, Mutiara Damansara, 47800 Petaling Jaya
微软 Surface Pro 4 $4999
Thoughts: So, the Surface Pro 4 (2017) version is now on Pre-Order. Every on-line store has now slashed the price of the now "older" Surface Pro 4. Harvey Norman Original selling price for the Surface Pro 4 alone is $5799 (with the Keyboard +$529) which is $6328 and now it is discounted off $1329. Well, for $4999 you also get the Docking Station as well which is another $789 to the $6328 which is a whooping $7117. All that now for $4999 (less $2118), I use part of the discount to buy additonal 2 years of Warranty from Harvey Norman which is $829 which covers 1st year glass break and 2nd/3yr for hardward. I suppose Insurance/Warranty is something difficult to measure! And I hope that buys a peace of mind for the next 3 years of using the Surface Pro 4 until 2020 when I may be retiring from active teaching, maybe! 
Harvey Norman also has a 1st 7 days return deal or bring it back if any issues with the hardware within the 1st 7 days. The additional insurance/warranty coverage is only for 2nd and 3rd year by Harvey Norman. Warranty coverage for the 1st year is via Windows directly where you call them to pick up the hardware for repairs which are under coverage; Windows warranty do not cover glass break!
The entire IKANO Damansara is now under renovation and Harvey Norman is now temporary reloated to a shabby looking corner of the building! The warranty, I was told by the salesman from Harvey Norman can be done in any stores (including some countries!)
Setting up the Pro 4 was quite easy but took awhile to get the face recognition log in to work properly; but once is was done, it did work flawlessly! 
So far so good!
