In Beijing, I don't need to go to a restaurant to find something great to eat.
One of the most popular Chinese street foods is jianbing. I tried this snack on my first night in Beijing.He covered it with a kind of brown paste (酱) and vegetables. It looked delicious.
Once it was ready, I took my first bite and it was very delicious. Each crunchy (脆的) mouthful gave me the feeling of tacos (墨西哥卷饼).This fried pancake was cheap, simple, and tasted amazing. Maybe these are the reasons why jianbing is becoming a popular snack in the West. For example, there are lots of businesses that sell this famous Chinese snack in the United States.Its founder (创始人) started his jianbing business in New York in 2012.
In New York, the price of jianbing can be as much as $15. So the next time you enjoy jianbing on your way to school, just remember: you're having the coolest snack in New York.
A. Mr. Bing is one of them. B. Delicious street food is everywhere. C. Jianbing is cool and popular in the West. D. I watched a man cooking jianbing on the street. E. But I had to tell myself that I was in China, not Mexico. |
