When we used to live in Hong Kong, one of my favorite places to simply roam around was IKEA. Me and my son would take an MTR to Causeway-bay and simply walk the streets. He was fascinated by all the electronic gadgets that one could find there. Not to mention the street stunts that happen all the time. It was oh! so crowded but was also a lot of fun. We would finish our trip in IKEA and indulge in cinnamon bun and these veggie balls. Later we would take a tram and sit on the top and just enjoy the slow ride till Fortress hill. Now thinking back, the sticky humid warm air was enjoyable too! We were basically jobless and just enjoying the time we had at hand. We would get down at Fortress Hill and wait for my husband to join us after work and we all would go back home together in the MTR. Those days are never coming back. But we made good memories. Here is the recipe. Honestly, this is not exactly like IKEA veggie balls but its close and tastes damn good. Do give it a try. Its healthy as its baked and not to mention its diabetes friendly - heart healthy recipe.
