Pretty well-stocked place for Asian food. Endless shelves of sauces, mostly for Thai food. This is…read moremy second choice when I need to buy Asian food. Staff are friendly. Though, I always tend to buy rice wine (I can't find rice wine--xiaxing wine--anywhere else), miso, and specific noodles here. In terms of vegetables, if you're willing to look around, check Oriental Supermarket beforehand. Veggie prices are often about the same, but sometimes one store seems to have a fresher stock. A lot of the products are sort of dusty, so I usually check the expiration/package date on sauces just to make sure. So far, I haven't come across anything that's out of date.

I disagree with people who criticize this lovely store. It is well stocked with products of all…read morekinds, even though most are Thai. Every time I searched for something in this store, I successfully found it and paid a reasonable price for it. The store also has discounts as low as 3kr! Even if there is only one cash register, the business flows quickly. The staff know their stuff! (Excuse the pun) They do their job and don't spend hours chatting to the customers, as some cashiers do. I recommend this store stongly to anyone.

At least that's how he trained me ever since I read my first copy of his "Europe Through the Back Door" book sometime in the early '90's. Jamie W. and I passed by this one in a taxicab on our way to our hotel, which in my Rick Steves-hypnotized mind, meant we were walking back here to take our obligatory tourist photos. Ah, he has taught us well. It's centrally located in the city with the international Hötorgshallen food market hall right next door (photo: http://bit.ly/2l0SRlN). There is plenty of shopping and restaurant down adjoining pedestrian roads with the Sergelgatan (photo: http://bit.ly/2keNUGc) leading to the main pedestrian square Sergels torg and the eclectic Kulturhuset. The market has apparently been around in one form or another since the 1640's and part of it turns into a flea market on Sundays which is when we were there (photo: http://bit.ly/2l0R7sy). Now if you have been to a few dozen of these markets across Europe like I have, this is likely not the one that will top your list as there was a certain lack of vitality to the whole area. I'm guessing locals know better than to buy produce at the higher-than-norm prices offered here despite the constant caterwauling of the stall vendors. Still, the produce is impeccably presented, and there is native son sculptor Carl Milles' lovely Orpheus group statue outside the Stockholm Concert Hall to admire (photo: http://bit.ly/2l5fB3y).

It's and open air market in Stockholm Sweden…read more During the week it's mostly fruits and veggies. I've read that there are also lots of cheap knockoff items during the week. Located on a random square just off an outdoor shopping mall -- it's not a formal mall just a main drag with lots of shops. On Sunday it's a mixed bag but mostly it's a #globaljunking paradise. Lots & lots of glassware. My theme for this outing was mostly spoons and a Sunny Boy Harmonica made in Germany. I didn't do a lot of negotiating -- the prices seemed fair. English was spoken well enough to close the deals. I arrived at around 10am; a late start in the junking world. I didn't spend too long there but I was surprised that vendors were still arriving to set up their stands. Not sure of this means everyone got a late start or if there are deals to be had at all hours of the day. I'd hit this market again if I'm ever back in Sweden.

He said we should return in no more than ten minutes. We set off to explore the area while he set to work on what was soon to become a masterpiece. One sandwich was on a fresh made baguette while the other was sliced from a loaf. Both were packed full of fresh veg, homemade dressing and cheese. Take a look at the photos for the details. It makes me crazy that I can't get this back home. Is it really that hard? We ate in the nearby park and tossed a few crumbs off to the birds to get a better look at them. What are those things anyway? If you're in a hurry and want something simple, be sure to consider these guys.

I decided to go here for lunch based on my Yelp search. We came in a little before they opened and…read moresat outside. There were two other families waiting already. Once they were open, it took a long time between us being given menus to finally getting our food- 50 minutes. They should've given us our side while we were waiting for the board. We ordered a side of salami and Swedish cheese and the hairy pig board. I enjoyed the side, but the board not so much. The board consisted of wild boar sausage with broche bun, wild boar taco, peppercorn fries, and wild boar lasagna. The board was quite heavy and salty. I didn't have enough stomach space to even try the taco. I did enjoy the fries, but it's not enough for me to want to return.

When staying next to Gamla Stan we read that this was a place not to be missed..only it was so easy…read moreto miss and we had to give a pretty good search before finally locating it. This place is tucked below street level and is very intimate and downright cozy with its low beam wood ceiling, wood tables in every cranny it can fit to accommodate guests, and a tiny little bar. You can find this place outside by the wooden sign with the boar on it, then simply peer down into the low window and if you see a hairy pig nomming on a sausage, congratulations! You're in the right place. We stopped in not long before closing time and that was probably the only reason we were able to get a much coveted table. The barkeep was nice and let us put in a quick order while also getting us drinks. Unfortunately for me, there were not very many gluten free tapa options on the menu, but there were a few naturally gf. The salami and sausages were thought to have gluten so I went with the smoked shell on shrimp, a cheese dip, and some salad with olives. I wasn't crazy about the smoked shrimp but the olives and cheese were good. The husband enjoyed a sausage in bun which he said was great. Overall we liked the vibe and I think if you can eat the locally sourced meats like my husband it's probably a pretty solid place. If you're gf or allergy you'll probably still be hungry at the end of the meal like I was.
