Extra tips for Asia in The Hague

1. If you get started in the kitchen at home with Asian dishes, then visit Amazing Oriental on the Grote Marktstraat or Kerkplein or at Wah Nam Hong on the Gedempte Burgwal. Not only for the ingredients, but also for steaming baskets, unique crockery and tasty snacks. Around the corner from Rabbijn Maarsenplein you will find Kokoro market, a Korean supermarket.
2. Explore Chinatown with the special walking route. You will not only pass a number of eating places and special shops, but also the synagogue, but also the Rabbijn Maarsenplein.
3. And while you're in Chinatown, be sure to stop by the 'chinese bakery' such as St. Anny Tea House or Li&U for the most delicious pandan cake, pudding rolls or cha sieuw bapao (bapao sandwich with sweet pork).
