Bus to Ikea

I read online that there is a bus service from Shin-yokohama station to Ikea Kouhoku, so we decided to try it one day.

But first, lunch!

We stopped by 鼎’s by JIN DIN ROU キュービックプラザ新横浜店.

We tried this pan fried dumplings. Love the crunchy bits but not the actual dumplings itself as I thought that the skin was a bit thick.

The pan fried radish cake was ok, but in terms of the 'burnt' flavour, I prefer the ones from Dintaifung.

Meanwhile, the tantanmen was amazing! Love how strong the sesame flavou was.

The tantanmen set also came with a small bowl of braised meat on rice. This was super flavourful and went very well with rice.

This here is the stir fried noodles with vegetables. The flavour was not too bad. Hahahaha, you cannot see the noodles at all here as it is covered by the vegetables.

After that, we joined a long queue of people for the Ikea bus. The bus was super packed! Al the seats were taken and we were standing, cramped with many others in the bus.

After walking around a pretty busy Ikea, we decided to grab some good at the Ikea restaurant. And a Daim cake! I haven't had one in a super long time.

This place is super busy, we had to walk around for at least 20 mins before we found seats. But we were lucky to have found a seat at a corner where tables were a bit more spaced out.

It is pretty convenient to travel to Ikea via the free bus because there is 1 bus every hour on the weekend. So you don't have to wait that long, even if the miss the bus. Plus Ikea are usually located at places that are far away from the station so they can be hard to travel to for people without cars.
