I was so sad to find out this years Swedish Crayfish Party from IKEA was canceled. These photos were from the 2017 event. It was such a fun year and we had many great friends join with me and also my mom. My buddy after this event became a huge fan of the crayfish AKA crawfish.
We attending this event after the big hurricane Irma hit Florida with so we got chance to to hang out with Queena and Eric.
The party also came with a hat and plastic aprons. Very Cute!
Here’s the size of the crayfish they offered. Nice, clean and very delicious.
The Swedish meatball are always awesome!
Overall great price and selection. It’s totally worth it for the once a year event. hopefully, they will bring back this event next year!
In the journey of my life I have always enjoyed meeting people and be able to connect with them with my story and life experience, when I became an international admission rep and I’m able to hear more stories and help guide the student towards their passion and goal. I was luck enough to be able to meet with a former student Jody, and help him on his journey to America. It was a pleasure to be able to meet with him and reconnect. So this post was an appreciation of the time we spent here.

Ikea was an excellent choice if you would want to have a sort of classy lunch but at affordable prices! Tea time never tasted better!
The Chocolate fudge cake and pie were an excellent choice especially for the affordable prices that were offered.
Overall an amazing day with an old acquaintance. A day to remember

I’m always looking for a great deal on food and one of the best times to get more bang for your buck is during Magical Dining Month. Participating restaurants offer a three-course prix-fixe meal for $35. It’s a great time to try that restaurant you’ve heard so much about.
We went to a Brazilian Steakhouse called Fogo de Chão.
Thanks Eric, Jody, and Queena for joining me on this great lunch.
Behind Queena is the wine room.
The salad bar offers a great selection.
Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pao de Queijo) is brought out. It’s so hard not to fill up on it.
Dessert is included the deal.
Thanks so much to the city of Orlando for having this awesome annual event. I can’t wait to check out more spots!
Thank you to Eric for inviting me to Queena’s birthday lunch at A Land Remembered, which is one of my favorite steakhouses.
Here’s the birthday girl.
Their gator-shaped butter is so cool!
We started with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake for an appetizer. The size and quality of the crab meat was amazing. The dish also cane with Scallion Aioli and Red Chili Pepper Glaze.
We also ordered the Ahi Tuna. It was Herb-Crusted and came with Napa Slaw, Chili Pepper Citrus Vinaigrette, and Avocado Relish.
Here is the Glenda Free-Range Chicken.
And the 16 oz New York Strip with Peppercorn Rub. It was huge but definitely worth it. Every bite melts in your mouth.
For dessert, the Banana Sphere was awesome with the presentation on point.
Happy Birthday, Queens! I really enjoyed having lunch with you and Eric. Until next time!
Hello to beautiful, sunny Orlando! Today we’re having lunch with Jody and his family, at Epcot. We’re looking forward to eating at the Chefs de France, which is one of my favorite places in Disney World.
Spaceship Earth (aka the big golf ball) is such a classic ride. I love it!
On the way to the France.
River view of Chefs de France, close to the France Pavilion.
It was so hot so got some ice cream from L’Artisan des Glaces.
Here we come, Chefs de France!
The Chefs de France offers a prix fixe menu with a three course meal where you get to choose an appetizer, an entree, and dessert for a set price of $39.99 (plus tax). Be sure to check the latest menu as prices may change.
For the first course, I got the Salade Aux Lardons Et Croutons. The size and portion is a great value.
The Bisque De Homard (Lobster Bisque).
The Boeuf Bourguignon Linguine is my number one choice. The beef is so flavorful and really well seasoned.
The Filet de Saumon Marine Au Vin Blanc Et Citron.
The dessert I chose was the Assiette de Sorbets du Jour (a daily assortment of fresh sorbets du Jour or seasonal sorbets). It’s perfect for the summer and is a really good size.
The Meringue aux fruits rouges – Meringue Basket with fresh Berries, Vanilla Cream, Raspberry Sauce, and Strawberry Sorbet.
The Gateau au Chocolat – Chocolate Layer Cake with Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Sauce, and Mint Chocolate Ice Cream. I thought they did a nice job with the presentation of each dessert.
The Vanilla Crème Brûlée with fresh cream, berries, and custard.
This is one of cutest cafés ever! Everything from the branding and the concept was on point. The cafe was actually based on Aranzi Aronzo, a company that makes cute animal characters. The coolest part is that they serve cakes that are shaped like their characters. The interior was colorful and vibrant. They also sell souvenirs for you to take home.

Last year I met Chef Andry Suriaputra and Hokiardi Adhi. Both of them are bringing something new and fresh to their local food culture.I had the privilege of attending their grand opening event and was amazed by their concepts and ideas for burgers. The branding was clean and crisp. I would totally recommend that you check out this spot if you’re ever in Jakarta.
There’s a track that is used as an outdoor restaurant and similar to the food trucks we all have come to know and love in Orlando.
Chef Andry Suriaputra ready to take some orders!
I love burgers! In fact, one of my favorite burger places is Shake Shack. I wish there was one right next door to my office but maybe it’s a good thing there isn’t one — better for my weight and my pocket.
The Burger Trader was fresh and had quality ingredients. The flavor of the meat was juicy and delicious.
