Chinese Tapas House - Review - Chinatown - London - The Infatuation

"London has never been particularly good at street food. It’s too cold and we’re too good at commodifying things. But there are still examples of it done well and Chinese Tapas House—a tiny takeaway spot in Chinatown making jianbing—is one of them. The savoury crêpe-like dishes start at around £4 but when you load them with marinated pork belly and enoki mushrooms, it’s more like a tenner. It’s worth it though. The jianbing is painted and fried with two eggs, chilli oil, a feisty BBQ sauce, and youtiao. Spicy, meaty, crunchy, messy. It's a satisfying lunch, especially when standing outside, watching people in the Angus Steakhouse opposite. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Jake Missing
