“煎饼果子 jiān bǐng guǒ zi” and “煎饼 jiān bǐng” are actually two different things, even though the first two characters are the same, and sometimes some Chinese people use them interchangeably. The first thing is more like a rectangle crêpe with eggs, fresh and pickled veggies, and sauces (salty and sometimes spicy) wrapped in the middle. The latter is more like pancakes with various ingredients mixed in the batter. 煎饼果子originated in Northern China and is often sold by street venders on food carts. It is a popular breakfast food in China. There is a food cart in Ann Arbor that sells this dish at Mark's Carts on W. Washington St. It has limited hours and opens for lunch Thursday through Saturday. It was a nice surprise that this dish exists here.
