Meatballs still in demand despite horsemeat scare

Meatballs have been in the spotlight recently, after horse meat was found in those sold by Swedish furniture giant Ikea in the Czech Republic three weeks ago.

But restaurants that SundayLife! spoke to said they have not seen sales dip, or received more queries from diners on what goes into the meatballs.

Consulting chef Matthew White, 33, from Extra Virgin Pizza in Asia Square and United Square Shopping Mall, says: "The popularity of our meatballs has remained the same or grown - customers have always loved this dish."

The artisan Italian pizza eatery serves Veal & Ricotta Meatballs using meat from Australia.
