Hey foodies! As the 2025 SCO Summit slides into Tianjin from Aug 31 to Sep, this culinary dive into the century-old jianbing guozi 🥞❤️.
Nearly 100 years ago, on Nov 20, 1929, the Impartial Daily of Tianjin gave the first shoutout to this crispy, savory crepe. Kunqu Opera performer and folklore guru Zhang Weidong joined Song Guanming of the Tianjin Jianbing Guozi Association to trace how this humble wrap went from street carts to cultural icon.
So, what’s the hype? Picture a thin batter fried to crispy perfection, smeared with tangy sauces, layered with eggs, scallions, and your pick of fillings—from fresh cilantro to spicy chili oil. It’s the OG street snack that’s all about flavor, texture, and that grab-and-go vibe 🍳🌶️.
During the Summit, check out how India’s dosas, Türkiye’s gözleme, and Russia’s blinis are flexing their pancake game. Whether it’s coconut chutney in South Asia or za’atar blend from Türkiye, each version wraps up its own story.
So, whether you’re coding on your morning commute or snapping pics for the ‘gram, jianbing guozi is your new best bite. Ready to #SavorTheWrap and taste a slice of history? 😋🥢
