Köttbullar in Shanghai

image

While I was studying in Sweden, I made a Chinese friend in my year. He studied logistics and implicitly wanted to work at Ikea. So he did: now, two years later he is a manager in the Shanghai branch, combining his language and culture experience with his market knowledge at home.

I was hoping to meet him today, but frankly we came for one reason only: Swedish food. Especially Köttbullar (Swedish meatballs), Kanelbullar (cinnamon Buns) and godis (candy). Funny how cheap IKEA food can be such an attraction.

    I’d go for the cinnamon buns, but they’ve got to have icing sugar and they’ve got to be hot. Are they hot, Joop? ;-)

    Didn’t know Donuts were popular amongst Canadians? :-)
