Side street vendor: Pancakes on hotplate

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

This one is great.
A mix of pancake, omelette & spring roll. You get to choose the fillings.

Anyway, this is the only place I've ever seen them. Don't know if they have a specific name for it. But anyhow, whatever looks good, try it! You may surprise yourself :-)

As I've said earlier, there are simply too many kinds of food in China. Whatever you see in Chinatown in the U.S. or Europe is simply a veeeeeeeeery tiny percentage of what's available in China & is most times not-representative of Chinese cuisine!

Side Street Vendor: Dou Hua + Dou Jiang (Bean Curd dessert)

The Chinese uses lots of beans in their diets, be it soup, main dish or desserts & drinks.

Bean Curd or sometimes commonly known as Tofu is one of the "staples" in some country side or small towns in China.

Bean Curd is made of soya bean milk.
They are served either saltish or sweet.
Depending on the way it's cooked.

If you are interested in them, just do a search on the internet & you'll find plenty of leads as to how they are cooked or served.

Anyway, for this trip, I found them on the street & they do served both flavor.
I like them sweet, esp. when it's "dou hua". They are very smooth & taste great esp. when freshly made.
If you are thirsty, ask for "dou jiang", the soya bean drink. The Taiwanese like this with "you tiao".

When it comes to Chinese food, they are as much variety as works of arts.
So, for a true experience, you'll have to travel to different parts of China to sample them all. It might take a lifetime though ;-)

I remembered a conversation with some Australians in Malaysia once. They hate Tofu. What can I say? It surprises me lots... westerners don't like tofu just as much as the chinese don't like cheese! It's just one of those things in life.

For me, I like them both though there are some kinds of cheese I prefer not to take!

This was the very first time I've seen "dou hua" served with saltish condiments & spring onions! It looks like the locals take them as porridge!

Interesting though I don't fancy them.
