$0.99 cents Breakfast in IKEA Restaurant

At 8 AM, we drove to Winter Park today for Blue Shield/Blue Cross appointment. Oh yeah, #Obamacare blah blah! Guess what, my tentative premium is $230/month! Where will I get that amount? Surely, BHO doesn't care at all! I am furious and I probably would pay the fines! Seriously, that premium is ridiculous! Enough for that! The only sane that I know cares is IKEA!

After the appointment, we decided to visit IKEA to clear our mind by window shopping and have a breakfast. IKEA surely cares for their customers. Imagine this plate is only $0.99 cents and the coffee is free. Customers like us patronized IKEA products because they are quality made and affordable therefore, IKEA is doing well in business. Knowing that, IKEA wants to return the favor by giving free breakfast (in some days) and offering super affordable breakfast for their customers. That is real CARE.

Anyway,  we have no plans to shop but, as we went out from the store, we bought three items for my mom then; we head to #DisneyWorld. If you have IKEA Home Store nearby your place, check it out. You will surely love this store. Don't forget to check out their restaurant too.

Breakfast at the Restaurant in IKEA Home Store

It's been a while since we last visited IKEA Home Store. I miss dining in their restaurant before we head to shopping. My husband and I usually go there to unwind, eat and have a little shopping. That's always the plan but, we end up shopping for more and eat less LOL. IKEA has this FREE breakfast freebies on certain days and sometimes, we were able to avail it. The picture below is usually the free breakfast plate ... good food huh?

This is hubby's plate, biscuits and gravy. IKEA coffee is one of my favorites. Since we are members of IKEA Family Club, we can avail and enjoy free coffee or hot tea every time we visit the restaurant! Become a member today, it is FREE!

I usually do not take photos with people but, I just want to show you one section of the restaurant. The Industrial ceiling is cool huh?

The croissant is not my favorite but, it was good. Croissant is a buttery flaky viennoiserie bread roll which is named for its well-known crescent shape. Do you like it?

I love having breakfast in IKEA. Weekdays are the best time to shop in IKEA and early morning because the crowd is tolerable. We plan to go there next week and buy some accessories for the bathroom and living room. Thanks for stopping by. Check out my post tomorrow. Stay happy.

Ikea Restaurant

Just in case if you do not know yet, IKEA was founded in 1943 by then, 17-year-old Ingvar Kamprad in Sweden. IKEA is an acronym comprising the initials of the founder's name Ingvar Kamprad, the farm where he grew up Elmtaryd, and his hometown Agunnaryd, in Småland, South Sweden. There you go, I hope you will not forget that coz I did all the time, LOL.The picture above is my favorite menu in IKEA Restaurant and we always eat first before we shop around. I like their Swedish meatballs when I am so hungry. Their IKEA breakfast which is Scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes is only 99¢ and sometimes, they offer it free for early customers. If you have an IKEA Family card, you will have free coffee and more discounts too.I love viewing the IKEA room designs especially their kitchen and dining room designs.Their restaurant is cozy with kids area. Food tastes great and if you love Swedish food, this is your place.Hubby and I love to visit IKEA, just look around for what's new in home design and ideas. We usually buy home decors every time.Check out the IKEA home furnishings in your area. While in there, make sure you dine in their restaurant or buy some goodies in their food market.

It's Fun to Shop at IKEA Orlando

IKEA is an acronym of the founder's initials: Ingvar Kamprad who at that time, 17 years old; Elmtaryd is the farm where he grew up; and Agunnaryd in Småland, South Sweden, is his home parish.We love to shop at IKEA Orlando Home Furnishings. It is located in Eastgate Drive in Orlando, Florida. We bought most of our kitchen appliances, and bedroom furnishings from this store. Most of their products are made "ready to assemble" so; it might take your time but, it's fun. Before we head to shopping, we usually go to their restaurant and dine.Sometimes, as part of their marketing strategy they offer FREE breakfast but, I guess not so many people know about that.Joining the Family Club would give the customers more priviledges such as free coffee for every visit and lower prices compared to the regular retail prices.The Family Club is free for everyone and you can make your account online or visit the kiosk and in seconds, you can register and get the card.Here are some of thier bedroom display.Have you seen some of the designs in HGTV shows? Some of the accessories used in their home staging are IKEA products.White dining area display at IKEA.White kitchen, so dainty huh?For an open concept design, here's the dining and kitchen design ideas.

Delicious Food

I love Tony Roma's Restaurant at South Semoran Blvd which is nearby the airport. The ambiance in this location is great plus the servers are knowledgeable of the menus. We tried asking them about their signature steaks and they explain it very well. We always have a beautiful dining experience at Tony Roma's. Oh, try their Baked Potato Soup which is topped with grated cheddar cheese, bacon and chives. It is very delicious. This menu is from Columbia Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Florida. This is Chicken and Yellow Rice, one quarter of chicken baked with yellow rice, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, spices and virgin olive oil. It taste good but, the portion they served was really HUGE! If the guest is famish, this is the good menu to order, LOL. I also ordered the croquetas de pollo which is good but, I love the croquetas of my granny though. This is my first visit and I enjoyed the meal. I will definitely dine in the Columbia Restaurant and I might pay a visit in the Celebration area.This plate is from IKEA Restaurant and served for breakfast. In less than $3, you can shop the IKEA store and never gets hungry for more.This is Eggplant Riojana from Columbia Restaurant which is my hubby's favorite food. It is a sliced eggplant breaded with ground plantain crumbs with rich Rioja sauce of tomatoes, garlic, capers, olives and red wine topped with melted Galician Tetilla cheese.
It is always nice to eat at home and prepare a homemade recipe. My husband loves to cook in fact; he was a cook when he was working in the Army. This is one of my favorite meals: a baked a garlic porkchop and creamy pasta with mushrooms.
Let's Chow! Do not forget to exercise LOL! You need to burn the calories! Merry Christmas Everyone!

Eat Eat Eat!

I noticed that I have been very busy doing things outside from the blogging world. For me, it is really great because I enjoyed being in the real world. Eating is always a fun thing to do and dining out is always in our system. Hubby and I are always on the go so, we resort to dining out as an easy thing to do. We love to cook but, when we have errands to do, dining out is more convenient. This plate is from OLIVE GARDEN, an Italian fine dining and one of our favorite places to go whenever we need a good meal. (Fettuccini and chicken parmigiana)By the look of this bowl, I know this is Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup from PANERA BREAD. Oh this is really good. I can eat this for lunch and I will be good for the rest of the day.I am not a baby-back-ribs fan but, this is not bad at all. In fact, this food taste good and the tender-licking ribs are so delicious. This plate is from IKEA food restaurant and we ate before we roam the store, usually! We visit IKEA to eat and then, check out new display. We do that when we are bored!
Okay, this is Welch's fruit snacks that I always have in the car. When I am hungry, this is my tummy's saviour. This is FAT FREE, Gluten free and no preservatives so, a good snacks fo me.Anyway, whenever we dine at PANERA BREAD, I always order anything that I like to try in the bakery. When I ate this, I sliced the white stuff -take it off, it's just too sweet for me.
So, this is what I do when I am off the PC. Eat! Oh, I weight 47 kls, not bad huh? I am only 5ft so, though I eat a lot, my metabolism burns the calories so fast.

Free Breakfast

Whenever hubby and I feeling bored at home, we usually go and drive down to the mall or to IKEA home furnishings. We are fascinated with the room designs and all the home decors of that store so; we just love window shopping then, head to their food court or either way. Did you know that some IKEA stores offer FREE breakfast and that includes FREE unlimited coffee?If you come early before 9:30 AM, shoppers can eat this food for FREE. The store opens at 10AM but, you can walk through the store and see the display earlier than that. Sometimes, they offer FREE kids meal too. IKEA is a Swedish store and their business clicks to the American customers.

Swedish Meatballs

We went to IKEA last Wednesday to buy something as an extension to our pantry. IKEA is a home store where you can buy almost everything that you need for your home. It's a Swedish store but, the business is well-loved by the Americans and me, as a Filipino, oh yeah, I did too! Anyway, first stop? To eat first and then, shop...cool huh? This is the famous Swedish meatballs with smashed potato, it's actually sold at $3.99 but, for this month, they lower the price to $2.99. The cornbread is 2 for $.99cents, drinks is $1.49.Hubby had the chipotle potato soup and corn bread.
Thanks for the visit everyone. I will see you in your blogs soon. This is my yummy Sunday entry this week. see yah next time.
Eat healthy and be happy everyone!

Salmon Filet at IKEA

Before heading to shopping area, we usually visit the restaurant first and this is my favorite: Salmon fillet with mixed vegetables and potato medallions with a corn bread. My visit to IKEA is always fun and exciting! We go shopping and if hungry, we dine in at their restaurant located in the second floor. This is a Swedish Home Department Store where you can shop almost everything that you need in your home. You go shopping by viewing the display in the second floor. Once you have your pick, you only need to copy the item number and the aile location then, proceed to the warehouse in the first floor. This is a self-service store so; you need someone to go assist with you if you shop for big furnitures. That's an exciting activity for me especially when I have to assemble the furniture myself :-) There is a self-service check out which I love to use because I can do it faster. Check in your country if you have IKEA store, you should visit it. This is my entry for Yummy Sunday. Enjoy your day everyone. Thanks for dropping by.

Banana Cake

I was invited to attend a Life in the Spirit Seminar today and while there, they provided breakfast-snacks-lunch-snacks and I ate a banana cake. Hubby loves it and he said, how he wished he can buy it. I decided to experiment :-) since we have all the ingredients in the pantry. Here's my first baked banana cake. Hubby said, the taste and texture is way better than the one he ate at the gathering.Here's the ingredients:
1 cup banana, mashed
1 cup sugar
2 pieces raw eggs
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 tsp teaspoon salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (I used pancake mix)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup raisins

Here's the Procedure:
1. Combine all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
2. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
3. Add the other ingredients (eggs, mashed bananas, cooking oil, vanilla essence), mix well with the dry ingredients until a batter is formed.
4. Grease the loaf pan, pour-in the mixture, spread the raisins at the top.
5. Preheat oven at 350 degrees F then, bake for an hour.
6. Just allow to cool down for few minutes.
This is my entry for this week's Yummy Sunday. Thanks for stopping by everyone!
