Hjem — meaning ‘home’ in Norwegian — emerged from Co-Founder Elin Fu’s reminiscence of her life in the small southeastern town of Hamar in Norway. Now based in Hong Kong, rather than longing to go back, Elin reconciles her frequent cravings of rye bread with herring and dill right in the heart of the city on Hollywood Road. The Nordic diet also made a significant impression on Nelson Htoo, Co-Founder, after his visit to Hamar. Mindful mealtimes inspired finding joy in the simple pleasures of life — a much-needed shift in focus, especially for those that have adapted to the rhythm of city-living.
As a space of respite and calm, Hjem aims to be the go-to for an authentic Nordic experience. Our menu embodies Norway’s healthy gastronomic identity, boasting fresh produce that places attention on principles of slow and conscious eating.
Through good, nutritious food and irresistible coffee, Elin intends to share with the world the culture and cuisine that she finds comfort in, hoping that wherever you’re from, you too will find a piece of home at Hjem.
Hjem boasts a diverse point of entry into the Nordic diet that is often lauded for its health benefits. We specialize in traditional open sandwiches — or smørrebrød — for which we use premium toppings directly sourced from the Northern waters, such as Arctic prawns, haddock, and trout, to encapsulate an authentic Nordic experience.
With the same precision and focus on quality, our food menu comprises various Nordic staples that use simple yet timeless ingredients essential to the rejuvenating diet.
We believe a quality cup of coffee is a catalyst for a true hygge moment — finding contentment in the things we often take for granted. Coffee is largely embedded in Nordic culture, ranging from the Swedish concept of fika to the longstanding Norwegian brewing method kokekaffe. Naturally, our coffee at Hjem adheres to a certain regional caliber. Our beans are locally sourced from Holistic Coffee, from light roast Scandinavian blends to single origins, catering to everyone.
But not to worry if coffee isn’t for you — we focus on all our beverage offerings with the same mindful and considered approach. We have partnered with various independent businesses such as Plükt to bring you a selection of handpicked Nordic teas; local brewery On the Wagon for refreshing kombucha; La Cabane for a roster of natural wines; and finally, our signature cocktails crafted by our bar team are not to be missed.
