    The crepe sounds like my kind of breakfast too. :)
    Is a toufa, the soy curd dessert thing they serve at yum cha??

    At CHOW (http://www.chowhound.com/topics/348707) there’s a recepie for the panncakes but no ingredients list for the rest of the Jian Bing.
    I was in Beijing in April and fell in love with this wonderful breakfast and I’d love to make them at home, so if you should find a complete recepie – please send me a copy!!!
