IKEA breakfast draws crowds

Swedish furniture retailer IKEA's new 3-yuan ($0.48) breakfast set has become wildly popular. Originally, the restaurant offered free pickles and containers as part of the meal, but because of the number of people who took more than their share, IKEA has begun charging for them, the Legal Mirror reported.

The breakfast set includes two steamed meat buns, one shrimp dumpling, a multigrain steamed bread roll, and a bowl of porridge. IKEA's Siyuanqiao location in Chaoyang district opens at 9:30 am; customers have been crowding in as soon as it opens and heading directly to the cafeteria.
