Is This The Best Jianbing in Shanghai?
Open daily from 6am to 2pm, there is always a long queue right outside this Xuhui store. The spot is known to have some of the best jianbing in the city. But does the spot live up to the hype?
Variety of fillings and condiments
Making savory jianbing for 15+ years, the store was opened by the boss and his wife.
In the early days, the bings were made entirely by hand, but following experimentation and research by the boss, he managed to automate several steps of the process to speed things up.
The tools used here are all homemade to ensure a customized fit for the boss and his wife, meaning maximal comfort and output when making these delicious snacks.
The boss’ wife is known for her incredible memory. She is able to memorize numerous orders at once no matter how complicated, from sauce to ingredients, wrap style and packaging.
Family Feast Combination
These treasures are bursting with fillings, flavors, and a generous amount of toppings. The boss even uses a thicker wrap to prevent it from coming apart.
Meat Floss + Salted Egg + Lettuce
For meat floss lovers, the lettuce and meat floss adds extra texture and crunch to the bing and, topped with the popular salted egg yolk, makes for a mouthwatering and wholesome snack.
Loin Meat + Bacon + Cheese + Lettuce
The cheesiness is the cherry on top for this dish, and is well-complemented with a generous serving of loin and bacon.
Many often come here to buy numerous jianbing. The boss told us that one of the craziest orders he received was from a man who purchased 10 family feast sets. We don't blame him.
Making over 400 jianbing per day, the store is consistently filled with an irresistible pancake and egg scent.
The golden brown treats are topped with spring onions and sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor!
The store is located 261 Qinzhou Nan Lu, and is often packed with customers anytime it's open.
