In our stay in Stockholm, our colleagues hosted a dinner for us. It’s a different dinner as we boarded a steam boat for an archipelago tour. Stockholm is composed of islands and islets and ferries are available as a means of transport. So from our office in Kista, we went to Stockholm metro locally known as Stockholm tunnelbana straight to Kungsträdgården station to board Storskär boat for the tour. It was a 2-3 hour tour to the islets of Stockholm so dinner was also served. s/s Storskär is the Archipelago’s fastest steamboat which aside from the tour, it also serves passengers to and from Stockholm suburbs including Vaxholm.
The classic steamboat menu served includes ship herring inlaid with cheese and crispbread for the first course. It was my first time to taste herring and its almost the same taste as mackerel. It’s food that they did not serve the fermented one
For the second course, steamboat steak served traditionally with fried onions and potatoes. This meal was very heavy as lots of potatoes were spread under the steak.
Vanilla ice cream with fresh seasonal berries. Of course dinner is not complete without Swedish beer and schnapps. Swedes always wants to have a good time so are we.
It was so far one of the best experiences in Stockholm to explore the city. Food is undoubtedly good and with a great company, you cannot really ask for more.
