Singapura (B2B) - IKEA mencetak rekor di Singapura ketika kembali menjual bakso daging di negara tersebut.
Perusahaan furnitur itu mengatakan telah menjual 249.375 bakso dalam satu hari pada Jumat, yang diyakini mencetak rekor Singapura untuk jumlah bakso terbanyak yang dimasak dan dijual dalam sehari.
Bakso yang dijual seharga 10 sen Singapura (delapan sen dolar AS) per butir tersebut menandai kembalinya bola-bola daging itu di gerai IKEA. Harga itu jelas tak tertahankan, sehingga antrian panjang muncul di outlet IKEA Singapura, seperti dilansir Xinhua.
Sebanyak 249.375 bakso tersebut diperkirakan beratnya mencapai total empat ton.
IKEA telah menangguhkan penjualan bakso pekan lalu sebagai langkah pencegahan. Kemudian meyakinkan pelanggan bahwa bakso IKEA yang dijual di Singapura tidak mengandung daging kuda.
Singapura - IKEA has set a record in Singapore when it resumed selling its signature meatballs here, it said Saturday.
The furniture chain said it sold 249,375 meatballs in a single day on Friday, which is believed to be the Singapore record for largest number of meatballs cooked and sold in a day.
The meatballs were sold at 10 Singapore cents (8 U.S. cents) each to mark its return at IKEA outlets. The price is obviously irresistible, as long queues appeared at the outlets of IKEA here.
The 249,375 meatballs are estimated to weigh four tons in total.
IKEA had suspended the sale of the meatballs last week as a precautionary measure. It was to reassure customers that the IKEA meatballs sold in Singapore do not contain horsemeat.
