 Reindeer Hash and Pizza by bpacker
But seriously, you should have a go at eating reindeer meat when you're in Finland. Why? Well, apart from the fact that it is the local delicacy over here, the meat is tender and lean and almost fat free. Also, all the reindeer over here are tagged and protected so they'll only kill the ones to keep the population in check.
I had moose meat the last time I was at Frosunda, Sweden, so reindeer meat shouldn't taste too radically different right?
I was wrong..
Apart from the common lean texture, reindeer meat smells! Especially so, when I ordered two reindeer dishes at a go. Ok I got greedy!
Most Chinese, like me, are particular about the smell of meat but we believe that eating deer meat or lamb is good for surviving cold weather as it is "yang" or heat producing.
I bore this mind and finished the dishes despite the smell.
The reindeer hash was better than the pizza, somehow the tart taste of the ligonberry sauce overpowered the strong deer smell. Leave a Comment

 Interior... see the tables? :) by Fjord87
The owner of the place is really nice. Once we were eating there with our family and there was only one other customer, and suddenly he came near our table and talked with us and played a cool Turkish instrument and also the balalaika.
The place has nice interior. Clean bathrooms and beautiful decoration isn't the only thing, there are instruments on the walls and Turkish paintings and EVERYTHING!! :) It's really Turkish. It has Turkish cloths on the ceilings and walls and.. WHOO!! :)
Now THIS is something special. The owner is a numismatist (collects money from other countries), and he has a huge collection of coins and greenbacks. The coins are glued on the walls (at least if I remember right) and the tables are interesting: he has placed his greenbacks between the tablecloth and the glass covering the table, so that people can see the money while they eat and it's something really interesting to look! :):)
The fuuuud is guuuuud. :P Means the food is good. I really like it, they have everything from pizza to different kebabs, steaks and beefs, falafel and other veg food. They have good Turkish desserts and even the wines are Turkish. My own favorite is probably one of the different choises of kebabs... :) Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Kansankatu 10Phone: +358 16 311 181Directions: Near the library and the governmental center of Rovaniemi.

 Zoomit interior. Sorry about
the bad photo. by Fjord87
During the day Zoomit is described like this: "Scent of the special coffees and cakes seduce you to spend a moment watching people around you or behind the wall-size windows. " You can also have specially flavoured (for example blueberry or banana) soft drinks, tasty brown coffee or a creamy hot chocolate and many other drinks and foods.
During the night Zoomit merges into a nightclub/bar. Here's how it's described in the ad: "During the evening the music changes, people gather together to enjoy each others company while our ZoomIt-bartenders make the best drinks in town. "
Most of Zoomits customers are youth, but during the day I have seen even little kids with their parents or older couples.
The furnishing and general atmosphere in Zoomit is youthful, modern and warm-coloured. Most of the tables have red, very comfortable sofas as their seats, but there are also barchairs. Tables are made of dark wood and match all the other colours. So it's kind of a perfect coffee break here! ;)
OH AND ONE MORE THING!!!!
If you wanna meet local youth, go to Zoomit! Specially after three o'clock on normal working days many youth go there and hang around with friends, and of course when the night comes... ;)
I LOVE the specially flavoured soft drinks, and my own favourite is strawberry. The drink comes in a relatively big glass with crushed ice, a straw, a decoration and a piece of some fruit.
There are many flavours... coconut, strawberry, cola, blueberry, banana, vanilla... etc etc. JUST TRY IT!!!
