WS #24: Ikea Restaurant & Cafe (Again!)
Last Saturday, after coming from a children’s party, Hubby, Abby and I headed to Ikea to check out their Labor Day Sale. We decided to have lunch there, too. This time, except for Abby, Hubby and I both ordered something we haven’t ordered before.
Hubby went for the day’s special promo meal of 1/2 Baby Back Ribs served with a side of fries and corn bread.

From the photo of the ribs, would you be able to guess if Hubby enjoyed his meal? I don’t know if Hubby just got unlucky but the ribs he was served looked like it came from a malnourished pig. It was all ribs and no meat. It tasted ok, according to Hubby, but he wished there was more to taste. Hee hee.
As for me, I ordered the Pasta Marinara and Side Salad combo.

Side Salad
I wasn’t very happy with my food as well. The sauce was too bland for me. I added a dash of salt (a couple of times at that!) but that didn’t quite work for me. I grew more interested on the car insurance comparison conversation on the next table (which was a little too loud!) than on the food before me. I was only able to finish half of my pasta. :( Next time, I’ll stick to the Salmon Rice Pilaf.
Redemption came in the form of dessert, our usual chocolate cake. That, I enjoyed.
I hope y’all had better meals this weekend. :)

Have a great new week ahead!
Ikea is one of my favorite places to eat! We go to the one in Seattle, and it takes us almost 3 hours to get there, so it’s an event when we go!
