About Hjem

Hjem — meaning ‘home’ in Norwegian — is a Nordic café defined by the simple comforts of traditional Norwegian ingredients and dishes. Hjem is a space for paced encounters that translates onto their use of fresh, quality produce embodying true Nordic exceptionalism and principles of slow living. A Common Abode concept co-founded by Nelson Htoo and Elin Fu in July 2021, Hjem is a deep foray into Elin’s fond memories of life in the North.
