“A little way into our meal at Surfers, a Chinese restaurant in Stockholm, Ludvig Sääf suddenly bursts into song. It’s a Mongolian drinking song about fermented mare’s milk, but few in the dining room understand the Mandarin lyrics.”
That’s how a feature on our restaurant begins in the South China Morning Post, the English-language edition of Hong Kong’s leading news source with over 35 million monthly readers. The article was written following a visit in November 2025 by journalist Victoria Burrows, who joined us for a kickoff lunch together with Fuchsia Dunlop, the cookbook author we collaborated with during our guest dinner series. The piece offers a closer look at the people behind Surfers and the journey that has shaped two decades dedicated to Chinese culture.
