Dr. Abla's Monster (I know how to spell Alba!)

Last wednesday me my mom and my dad went to a restaurant called alba. When we walked in I saw bugs in jars and old peppers to. It was Restaurant Week 2013 in Des Moines -- which means the food is cheaper.  

Heres my appetizer its bacon wrapped rabbit terrine with pickled radish and some green that I don't know the name of. I really liked the rabbit terrine. I tasted the fat from the bacon. And I also tasted the tenderness of the rabbit terrine. It was a good mix of flavors.
I forgot what that was. I think it was my dads appetizer.
I didn't eat much of my sweet corn soup. It was to sweet for me. So me and mom traded appetizers. My mom's original appetizer was the rabbit terrine.
Here I am eating my vegetables like a good boy.
Here is my entree' pork loin and a             darn I forgot what it was called. Mom said it was sweetcorn and bacon like a cake. It was too sweet. The sweet corn was mushed up, like the soup, and I think that makes it too sweet. If it weren't mushed up it would have been better.
Here I am cutting my pork loin with a knife. The pork loin was a little dry but with a bite of peach salsa it made it much much better.
The reason my plate isn't all clean is because I wanted a dessert.
There were a lot of doors on the ceiling in the restaurant and the reason I liked my spot is because there was a blue door over me. And if the blue door fell, I would be safe because I was sitting below the window part but the window didn't have glass in it.
My dessert was a root beer float -- it had vanilla ice cream and root beer. The root beer was sort of like, well I don't know what root beer is made of. The fizzy and the kind of bitter sweetness and the vanilla tasted good together. And if that was my last picture then this review is over. But I'm not sure this is the last picture. I'm checking right now. This is not my last picture... more talking.
I do not remember what my mom's dessert was. It tasted sweet again. Really sweet. Because it had sweet corn.
I'm still drinking it and I'm halfway done, you can see.
My tummy hurts! 

Do not throw anything at the doors at alba. They'll get mad at you, and they might fall and hurt the doors feelings. So you better not do that! I would recommend Alba for people that like fancy restaurants, not for picky eaters.

  1. Hi there! It seems you had a blast at Alba's! I know of a resto that has the same name, but it's a Spanish resto. It has all my fave Spanish food such as Paella, Beef or Mushroom Salpicao, Croquettas, Gambas, and many more! And for dessert, my fave is Churros con Chocolate. I'm sure you'll love that. Btw, this restaurant you've been to has a strange design, with doors on their ceilings. Do they lead to some other place? Hm...Like Narnia, perhaps? Hihihi...Me and my imagination.

    Hope to read more of your adventures with your mom!
