Dinner Takeaway from Östermalm Saluhall, Stockholm, Sweden

 Spotted fried flat potato on the right (like rosti). we bought a piece.

 We also bought a whole bread from Borgs Bageri spotted in picture for breakfast. (being cheapskate)

We bought meatballs with mash potato and together with this. 

I thought the foods were the most Swedish thing to do but nah. 

The meats were so salty. Mash potato was alright. 

Costed about $30 for each bento. 

Östermalm Saluhall means Östermalm food hall. 

There are varieties of fresh foods, raw fishes, raw meats and cooked foods selling at each stall.

Basically they are all fresh and most people come here for takeaway. 

Then head out for a bench or garden to enjoy. 

EVERYTHING IS NOT CHEAP.

There are many tempting fresh berries, juices, lobster, oyster, fancy sashimi, etc blah blah 

A box of fresh berries/assorted fruits costed $60 kronor and above.
Other proper fancy cooked foods costed like $60 kronor and above.
CANNOT AFFORD LA!

By the way, Östermalm Saluhall also available in towns.

Breakfast at Hotel Robinson AB / Palace, Gothenburg, Sweden

Free breakfast on the first morning staying at Hotel Robinson AB, also known as Palace Goteborg. 

This hotel was probably named as Hotel Robinson AB but now changed to Palace Goteborg. 

However, while i was searching hotel at booking.com, this hotel was still named under Hotel Robinson AB instead of Palace.
That got me confused while looking for the hotel on my first day arrival. 

The breakfast served was typically European style for tourists. 

I had a bit of cereal with yogurt, sandwiches, orange juice and a half boiled egg sprinkled with corse black pepper. 

There were basket of a range of breads and coffee and tea on the other side. 

In Europe, open sandwich is commonly served and found in cafes. 

Everything was yummy! except for Salami, I was trying it as if it was the first time tasted in my mouth.
It tasted raw-ish, a bit fishy which i didn't quite like it but eatable.

Im typically very open to try any kind of foods. maybe NOT all. HAHA

Hotel: Hotel Robinson AB / Palace 

Location: Södra Hamngatan 2, Goteborg, Sweden 

Prices: $600 - $750 kronor for 2 persons per night according to seasons

Comment: The hotel room was fine, rollable bed mattress, small TV, wifi and private bathroom.

                 But the lobby and dining place were amazing, very comforting and classy. 

                 There are free Nepresso coffee and quality tea provided at the lobby. 

Breakfast price: $79 kronor per person (As I remember)

Dinner at Khau Geng, Gothenburg, Sweden

On the same day after having fried herring for lunch, we went to dinner at Khau Geng for a try. 

It was more like western-chinese rather than Thai food. As a born Malaysian Chinese, I can certainly tell you the right Asian cuisine. 

There were 5 foods set menu to choose from chao mien to rice with fried prawn and chicken, rice with chicken satay and rice with vegetable curry. 

I chose chao mien set menu that included a can of coke. There were also free buffet style of Asian prawn chips and salad displayed at the order counter. Apparently, this kind of side dishes such as chips, salad are commonly found in Swedish Asian/Chinese restaurants for FREE! Sometimes the side dishes are including Swedish biscuit, canned fruits, mixed salad etc. 

Anyway, the only Thai style used in the foods were the sauces. 

The sauces were made in Thailand, Asian-ish. 

Would you consider the foods as Thai food when they only use Thai sauce in the foods like sprinkle / simply add in Thai sauce in the cooking process? 

Restaurant: Khau Geng

Location: Arkaden, Gothenburg, Sweden (located in the mall, city)

Opening hours: Same as the mall opening hours i assumed. 

Prices: $65 kronor for a set

Lunch at Strömmingsluckan in Gothenburg, Sweden

The popular food cart selling fried herring! 

Delicious fried herring with mash potato and lingonberry sauce

The mash potato is surprising light and creamy, fresh lingonberry sauce and fried herring tasted mild, fresh with little of tiny fish bones, no biggie! ITS SO SO GOOD! 

I guess the bad thing was that they didn't provide table nor chair, which I eventually ate it somewhere in the street. 

Basically you can't leave Sweden without trying their popular fish - herring! 

I visited Gothenburg in early April 2014 for 4 days & 3 nights. After doing some research on popular food to try in Gothenburg, I have promised myself to find this popular Strömmingsluckan street food cart.

The food cart was located in a parking lot space (just empty space) where there were also another food cart beside and a modern miscellaneous shop.

This is the other street food cart on the front right. I didn't give it a try cause i was so full. He was selling hot dog and burger that looked quite good!

Anyway,
