Hao Cai Lei Asien-Supermarkt

Cute little asian supermarket with a variety of specialised asian goods. The shop lady immediately greeted me as I came in and was really friendly at the checkout. There are a selection of sauces, noodle (rice, Singaporean, egg, glass, you name it), pickled vegetables yummm!!, fungus for eating, frozen seafood incl. dumplings, paste for curries and soup bases and cute little drinks. If you are in need of asian ingredients visit this place!!!

There are plenty of Asia shops throughout Berlin — a few even in my own ‘hood. But the selection is always hit and miss. There are a few things I can always expect, like tofu, and peanut buter, and various sauces. But sometimes I need those harder-​to-​find items and they simply can’t be found.
Well, once I discovered Hao Cai Lei Asien-​Supermarkt I’ve never looked back. Technically, I discovered it today, so our history is still short and sweet, but I can foresee going here often in the future to get what I need.
The shelves are stocked with all kinds of sauces and marinades that are hot, sweet, or savory. There are plenty of types of seafood and other meat in the cold cases, and there are tons and tons of vegan and vegetarian mock meats. I found miso paste here (something which I couldn’t find anywhere else) and there are plenty of other treats, such as Asian beverages and candies. They even have various Maneki Neko you can buy, as well as rice cookers, tea sets and more.
Additionally, the prices here are relatively inexpensive — even less than most Asia shops I’ve been to yet. So if you’re looking for the best variety and low prices, check this place out!
