IKEA Swedish Crayfish Party






I got an invitation from IKEA Warrington to attend their first ever Crayfish party. I wonder what it tastes like because it looks like a lobster but only as big as a tiger prawn. When we arrived at the IKEA restaurant, they served us with drinks and after a short while invited us to the main table to sample the dishes.

The meal consisted of mainly breads, cheeses, salads and seafood. I tried all of them and they really taste nice. The crayfish itself is delicious with a unique taste and quite different from crab or prawn meats. Unfortunately Ilyas just ate very little of this crayfish and Maisarah were simply horrified at its sight.

During the meal we were entertained with pop songs by a guitarist and participated in a raffles draw for charity. After coffee, they served us with desserts and the kids were given a lunch box and an ice cream. They were also singing and dancing before and after the meal. Ilyas enjoyed the singing and Maisarah joined the dancing. They told us all the food served are available in their Swedish shop.

We went home quite full (well at least I am) and best of all it's free of charge. What an experience!
