Jian Bing in Amsterdam
The classic Chinese breakfast crepe, folded by hand on a hot griddle. Crisp, savoury and fresh, at our two kitchens in Buitenveldert and on the Zuidas.
Jian bing (煎饼) has been the best-loved street breakfast in Beijing for generations. A wafer-thin crepe of wheat and mung-bean flour, cooked on a glowing griddle with egg, crispy wonton, spring onion, fresh coriander and a generous swipe of sweet bean sauce and chilli. At China Supreme we make it exactly that way, by hand and fresh in front of you.
We grew up on this kind of street food and brought it with us to Amsterdam Zuid. No pre-made crepe from the microwave, but real craft: the batter is spread live, the egg cracked over it, the wonton snapped for that essential crunch, and everything rolled into a warm, savoury parcel you eat straight from your hand.
Made by hand, fresh off the griddle
Every jian bing is made to order. You taste it: crisp edges, a soft centre, the sauce balanced between sweet and spicy. We use fresh ingredients and a recipe we haven't adapted to Dutch tastes, but to the streets it comes from.
Alongside the classic jian bing you will find more Beijing and Sichuan street food with us: hand-pulled biang biang noodles, dan dan mian and spicy cold chicken. All freshly prepared in our own wok.
