Forbidden IKEA in the Forbidden City

I'm off to Beijing this weekend to attempt an experiment: that you can furnish an apartment 100% with IKEA products, from bed and sofa to knives and forks.  Many have attempted, but in the end were discouraged by the jeers of their peers who find it abhorrent that one would so completely succumb to Swedish commercial invasion.  Since this tiny studio is a pied-à-terre and technically  I don't live there, perhaps I will be immune to this. 

Anyway, we lost the battle to Swedish commercial invasion years ago when we gave in to "Dancing Queen".

More importantly did you have the IKEA hot dog? How much did it cost and was it made of cardboard?

I was trapped in IKEA all day (NEVER furnish a full apartment at IKEA on a Sunday!) and had four hotdogs through the day.
