The food in Northern Sweden was kinda different than those from the south. They use a lot of fish, reindeer and berries. I shared a five course dinner with Sean in a restaurant at Camp Ripan, Kiruna.

bread in a very nice pouch

1st dish: Salmon-cured with salt

2nd dish: Lamb and Snow Ptarmigan (a kind of bird)

Melon Shredded Ice that was given while we were waiting for our next dish.

3rd dish: Fried fish and carrot puree

4th dish: Reindeer with lingonberries

5th dish (dessert): Blueberry cheese cake and lingonberry cake
The food was great despite the long interval in between dishes. I really appreciate the way the restaurant prepare small dishes so that I could get a taste of everything. It was a great dinning experience.

I saw this table on my way out...a pretty creative way to make a table
We also saw an igloo near the restaurant...too bad I did not get a clear picture of it.

Siew Gee, you had a wonderful winter trip there across the Atlantic! Now you made me feel like traveling to Europe again =)
Jin Ye, it was very interesting indeed, but too bad that it was too warm that I couldn't see the Northern Light.
Eric, you should definitely go there again! (maybe when the exchange rate is not so high :P)
