Tintin’s fifth comic The Blue Lotus is commonly regarded as the best work cartoonist Hergé ever produced. The book is quite popular in China because it explores the sensitive relationship it has with Japan and it doesn’t foster any stereotypes of the Chinese. Everything in this restaurant in northern Den Bosch is also authentically Chinese from the dated tablecloths to the typical Asian landscapes on the walls. Forget all of the 156 dishes on the menu, especially the pork chop with fries, and focus on one of the 26 items listed under the heading Specialties of the House. They prove that the chef’s a professional and is able to conjure up some exceptional food in his wok. We enjoyed the ti pan kai (chicken and vegetables).
