identity
Four extra balls are a separate add-on, without another serving of the sides. [1]
history
IKEA traces its restaurant meatballs to 1985 and chef Severin Sjöstedt, whose development work involved ten months of testing. This is the dish family’s company history. It does not establish that a present-day Philippine serving uses the original formulation unchanged. [3]
The Philippine setting has its own chronology: IKEA Pasay City opened on November 25, 2021. The menu checked in October 2026 documents the eight-piece meal there, but the evidence does not yet establish its first Philippine sale or every intervening version. [2] [1]
nutrition
No Philippine restaurant serving weight, calorie total or nutrient panel was verified for this plate. A piece count is not a measured weight, and sauces and sides matter to the full meal. Other countries’ plates and take-home packs therefore do not supply this record’s nutrient values. [1]
No serving-specific nutrition verified.
prices
The table keeps the eight-piece mash meal and four-piece add-on separate. A Tuesday Family offer instead includes twelve balls with rice and vegetables, advertised against a ₱400 regular comparison. It runs from 5:30 to 9:30pm on non-holiday Tuesdays in October–December 2026, with a two-order membership limit and other printed conditions. It does not discount the eight-piece mash plate. [1] [5]
distinctions
The same restaurant also lists plant balls, whose pea-protein recipe has a different global product history. The distinction belongs in separate recipe records; extra Swedish meatballs remain an offer within the Swedish-meatball family. A photograph from another country can illustrate the family without defining Pasay’s sides or piece count. [1] [4]
The earlier source version’s conflicting promotion dates remain in the evidence history. The later page supplies October 1–December 31, 2026 terms for the twelve-piece rice meal. The printed rule against redeeming more than once per membership is retained rather than interpreted as a weekly reset. [5] [1]
