Albert Heijn is a must if you need to get your grocery shopping done while in the Netherlands…read more While there are other local and large chains, they do not seem to be as readily available compared to Albert Heijn. The stores themselves are laid out like most other grocery chains, easy to understand, clear English, pricing very fair, lots of room, and helpful employees. Every time I visited a Albert Heijn, I never had a hard time locating what I needed, albeit a tad different in a foreign country, but just as good or sometimes even better. They do carry organic, but it seems to be not as readily labeled, so I think its more of a US ordeal to boast about it where in the Netherlands, its more of a regular option, which is great! All and all, loved the chain and visited it frequently while traveling around the Netherlands.

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 :)

Living in the netherlands made me miss asian snacks so much! Back home in SF we had tons and tons…read moreand tons of asian supermarkets (well just think of our asian population) but in the netherlands particularly veenendaal there was a few asian tokos and the options were so limited. 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!!!

Yes this place is awesome! As a Korean American originally from Flushing, Queens, NY (if you don't…read moreknow, there's a huge Korean population there) and as a travel blogger who's traveled to over 20 countries, I know it is unheard of to find a mostly Korean grocery store outside of NYC, LA and duh, South Korea. There's not even one of these in Amsterdam where I live now, and finding things like Korean rice or chapaghetti is impossible in Amsterdam. Now I know where to get my Korean goods from-- in Rotterdam! Also, the owner is really nice. In short, this store has basically all your Korean needs.

Small Indonesian restaurant that does a lot of takeout. The food here is precooked and then heated…read moreup in the microwave when you make your selections. The owners here are very nice and friendly. Do keep in mind that their customers are mainly Dutch and the food is not cooked to order, so it's on the sweeter and less spicy side: I wouldn't come here if you are looking for super authentic Indonesian food. Still, it's a nice option for a filling, inexpensive meal, and it seems to be very popular among locals.
