It is an unassuming place from first glance, but definitely worth a trip off the beaten path if you are a tourist and definitely if you are a resident, I'd make it a part of my weekly shop after going to the nearby markets. I don't know how you could need any other spices. Period. And fresh whole leaf tea. Wow. I just wish I could find a place like this in the states or the uk.

Go in and look and sniff around. The smell and view of all those different herbs and colours is amazing and brings back memories of ancient times.. You can find any kind of 'international' flavours, herbs, different kind of salts and peppers, flowers, food colouring, rose waters, nuts, dades (you have to try the fresh dades from Iran!!! those are really fresh and a bit juicy), tea, rice, couscous, noodles, curry pastes, cookies, honey, sugar crystals, nougat and more. The owners (from Iran) are also very friendly and if you're looking for something they are happy to help, the prices are quite 'normal' to inexpensive.

Wah Nam Hong at the Markthal Rotterdam…read more This is a big Asian supermarket with a cafe inside upstairs and it's great value for money! They serve Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian & Thai food. Don't expect anything more than a cafeteria due to location. The menu obviously isn't crazy big with that representation and what they do is done pretty well in my humble option. It was packed on a Friday night when we went so must be a hit with the locals. The only table left was right next to the kitchen which got pretty hot. We could however look out into the Markthal. We got there about 8pm and it closed at 9pm but the waitress was upfront about that and that we were the last people able to order. That's just what we wanted as wanted to get out in the town. We had Asahi beer with a very generous portion of Edamame beans with nice flakes of sea salt. Yakitori chicken - this was thighs not crispy skins but tasty. Siu mai dumplings which are always a hit with me. Bapao rund and Char Siu bao. These were a bit doughy for my tastes but tasty and good value. Everything tasted good and the service was good too. We shared Crispy pork belly with boy choi for €7.50 too. I'd go back :)

I went to Rotterdam to go see this light show and happened to walk by this supermarket and it was pretty big so I knew they'd have good selection. My oh my did it! I found all my favorites and bought a few of everything. They also had fruittips in black currant which they no longer sell it San Francisco and people would have their friends bring it back from trips to HK. Well they sold it here and I empty a box of the last few tubes in my basket! Can't believe I found a place that has fruittips!!!

From the owner: Liefde voor het ambacht en een echt familiebedrijf, dat is Kesbeke…read more Kesbeke is nog de enige inleggerij van echte Amsterdamse Tafelzuren. Sinds 1999 geleid door Oos, derde generatie Kesbeke. Zijn grootvader, Charles Kesbeke, de grondlegger van het bedrijf, begon in 1948 in een keldertje in hartje Amsterdam, aan het Waterlooplein. Hij was naar Amsterdam verhuisd nadat hij in Zeeland was gestopt met zijn bakkerij. In Amsterdam vond Charles nieuwe mogelijkheden. In tafelzuur, want Amsterdammers bleken daar een grote voorliefde voor te hebben. In dat keldertje werden de eerste augurken en uien gewassen, gepekeld en in glazen potten gepasteuriseerd. Dat pasteuriseren deed hij, bij gebrek aan beter, in vuilnisbakken die hij op de markt en in de omgeving 'gevonden' had. Hij verkocht het zuur vaak ook in de kroeg, hij hield van gezelligheid en een praatje. Charles was goed bevriend met de stokers van de jeneverfabriek in de buurt... en zuur past prima bij een borreltje.

It was only when I returned from the Netherlands that I noticed that I had to pay twice for one purchase. More: it's no answer for my letter from Jumbo (!).
