I was so excited to find someone selling Jian Bings on the bridge across the main street by the university. These were a staple in Beijing, complete with your-choice-of-flour crepes, with an egg cracked and cooked on top, covered with sesame seeds, bbq sauce, green onion, and cilantro. and wrapped around a piece of fried thing that made it crunchy. but this kunming jian bing was a total rip off. the crepe was flimsy, there was no cilantro, bbq sauce, sesame seeds nor crunchy thing, and, to kick me while I was down, it was filled with shredded potato (dry, boring, gag), and smeared in a sauce made exclusively of Hua Jiao, a sick-sweet peppercorn that is in everything here.
