Chinese Breakfast Burritos Again!

Here we are enjoying yummy street food for breakfast! Every day I have been making sure that everyone gets a real "taste" of local Shanghai.  Yesterday we ventured out and tried the famous Jiang Bing or as I call them, Chinese Breakfast Burrito.  It was everyone's first time and it was a huge success! I have documented the process on how they are made in the next pictures. And yes the cooking instrument does look like the top of a garbage can.  In this first step a crepe like batter is dropped and spread out on the top of the hot "can". There is a gas flame inside.
Then and egg is broken on top and spread over the crepe.
Cilantro, green onions and pickled onions are sprinkled on.
Then it's folded in half and a chinese bbq/hosin sauce is spread on and some hot chili if you like.
A large fried wonton is place on top of the sauce and it's folded into the shape of a burrito!
The taste was so good Tony and TJ went back for another the next day!

After breakfast we headed over to a lovely coffee shop and had some coffee and relaxed in the morning sun.

We then took a subway to an interesting artist community - TaiKang Lu - but before we got there we ventured into a local wet market and saw some customers ordering up fresh chicken.

I don't know if you can make out the writing on the sign, but it says Mollica Bakery.
The weather was nice and sunny and we had a lovely day walking around in Shanghai. Next up, local dumplings for breakfast!
