Pleasant Lady

This was my first time trying jian bing and I loved it - they do a really nice veggie version with egg. The chilli oil they use has that numbing spicy taste which I love! They also have a nice selection of drinks - I had their mango coconut cream which tastes a lot like a mango lassi. I am excited to try their sesame latte next time!

I had few Chinese crepe or Jian bing in London but nothing came close to the jian bings we had from this place. We walked all the way from Liverpool Street station so we can grab lunch from here while we walked all the way to Barbican. That's how much hyped up we were for this food. Luckily this place lived up to the hype. We ordered the miso chicken and cumin lamb and both were amazing. If you are in the Spitalsfield market this place is whete I recommend you go for lunch.

Newly obsessed with this jian bing - my favourite spot in spitalfields market. Total flavour bomb: fresh, zesty, savoury, herby, crisp+soft - the ultimate light lunch or filling snack. Even at peak times when there's a bit of a wait it's completely worth it. Each time I take the last bite I'm plotting the next time I'll be back...

After eating from their food hatch in Soho, I simply had to try out the Pleasant Lady Jian Bing Trading Stall in Spitalsfield Market when I passed them recently and order another delicious Jian Bing, the way I would describe this delightful Chinese Street food is that it's similar to a Mexican burrito and generally eaten for breakfast and hailed as "one of China's most popular street breakfasts"... The main ingredients of jianbing are a batter of wheat / grain flour, eggs and sauces, cooked quickly by spreading the batter on a specialised flat hotplate. It is then topped with different fillings and sauces including bocui (a thin and crispy fried cracker)... For the filling I chose iberico pork with additional egg, and included a fresh vibrant salad of cucumber & coriander, with hoisin sauce. It is then folded several times and cut before serving... Yummy, filling, and a must try...
