In China I ate: Shou Zhua Bing (手抓饼)

One of the first street foods I tried on my one-year stay in China was a really delicious pancake wrap called Shou Zhua Bing (手抓饼), which literally means "hand grasp cake," and is a popular snack from Taiwan. It's really an Asian shawarma, I guess.

The inside of the wrap would usually consist of meats and vegetables. Vendors would normally have bacon, ham, beef, sausage, chicken breast, chicken knuckles, and eggs.

For vegetables, the cook would add sliced cucumber and a bit of lettuce. We can also ask for dried seaweed sheets. 

For condiments, I would usually ask for mayonnaise (shala), black pepper sauce (heijiao), and chili pepper sauce (lajiao).

I unfortunately don't have many photos of Shou Zhua Bing, but here is a link which features this Taiwanese goody.
