 You follow you try my crepe. You're gonna make me a jambing Yeah Yo, what's going on everybody? Welcome to another episode of $20 food reviews This is a series that I'm actually really excited about because I'm going to be reviewing $20 versions of food and letting you know if I think it's worth it now The reason why I chose $20 is because $20 is definitely more expensive than average and it's not too expensive Where you could never afford it. It's just something you probably couldn't do every day So today I'm gonna be trying a jambing also known as the Chinese crepe popularized in Beijing It has roots in Tianjin and a long long time ago Shandong 5,000 years ago I want to know what a $20 jambing feels and tastes like and is it worth it because in most cities in China This thing can cost only $1 So I'm at me plus crepe in Pasadena and I'm gonna see if a $20 jambing is worth it. Let's go check it out It's a jambing and since you're in Pasadena you have to raise the price a little bit Yeah, since you know the labor labor cost and all the food material cost is not the same as in China They're not running a street cart here. Okay. You ever had a jambing before? What's your initial reaction? This is awesome. I had like the double down it has like pork, duck, spicy stuff And it's like describe. I love savory so but can I like it as well? I like how compact it is and how like the folding process of the actual package is pretty nice, too Did you call it a jambing or do you call it like a Chinese crepe? Okay, so in my hand guys, I have the original jambing which is six dollars here You can see look at that jambing. It actually smells really good They have instructions here peel and roll Okay, kind of kind of hefty you got to have the crispy skin inside Here you can choose between a Chinese donut, which is a yotiao or the bozi, which is like a fried one-ton strip It gives it that crunch and then on the outside. This is a mung bean Crate it's different than a French crepe which would be like wheat flour. This is mung bean flour It actually has less carbs and less gluten You know the six dollar jambing is definitely worth it especially if you've never had a jambing right off the bat I would say the original Definitely worth the try Why does that sound more like Spanish it had the rhythm of Spanish What you're on Weibo and tiktok. I do like comedy skits and longs. I do like Struggles with a tall girl. I'll tell you Like five eight that's pretty tall. So now we got the vegetarian jambing and it's like ten dollars This is a twelve dollar jambing, but this has cumin lamb. Okay, young road bar. They have deep in design for this I say so he is like the people who call you at night to go to club doesn't love you But who take you to jambing in the morning? Definitely the Spicy, right? Oh, this is spicy, too. Okay. Got the spicy oil and this is thick This is definitely the American way to eat it Human and cilantro are often used in Chinese cooking, especially more of the Western Chinese cooking like the Islamic influence I'm hungry. So this veggie one has the lettuce cucumber and then Salantro in it. Listen if you're vegetarian try it, but if you don't have to get it I think get the ones with meat young road jambing You're getting the two main things that people love which is the lamb skewer and the jambing. It's like a lamb burrito kind of this one $12 that's worth it Of the cumin the chili in the cilantro It's always it's like younger time. Okay. It's not always worth it. I mean, I'm not alive There's actually a lot of meat in there that actually is really worth it The other one with the old town, but usually like westerners to find your town. Yeah, that's right But I feel like this is a very crucial element of the jambing because it makes it crunchy. Yeah, otherwise the jambing would be soft one more sound You took all the backers from the larger one Now it's just an omelette. Do you think in China you could serve the young road jambing for 30 kwai So what does it mean to be an international student where now you're seeing the jambing a cheap street food being served in Pasadena Invasion like I'm so proud of my country right now. I'm so proud of our food What else do you think street food wise can be popular in America? Popular kind of street food. Okay. All right. Yeah, you said it Okay, now we have come to the $20 jambing now What I had to do to make this $20 is actually there's a couple add-ons so the peaking duck Jambing originally cost about $14 and then I had to add on an egg sausage and avocado So now this is officially the most expensive jambing I have ever eaten in my entire life. Yo Yo, this thing is hefty. I think this is at least a pound Okay, so you have the sausage you have the peaking duck what's Avocado you have cucumber you have cilantro hoisin sauce you have some chili paste I don't think a lot of people could fathom paying $20 for a jambing obviously the dollar version even in China Does not have this much stuff. You know avocado in a jambing You win the product For 20 bucks It's actually pretty good though. So peaking duck is actually really fatty. It's succulent. It actually is pretty good Yeah, this is peaking duck. Oh my god, it's so good in your opinion being an international student who is from Changsha Went to school in Beijing What are you rolling with the taste is better than the $1 jambing I had in Beijing and then definitely the street Render won't put peaking duck in it but here you can get the Chinese sausage and then the peaking duck even though it's $20 It's like I miss home Worth it. Yes or no? Definitely worth it. Wow I don't know what that means, right? Yeah, I know what that means. What does that mean? Oh like legit? Yeah Oh, Ren Zhen. Okay guys. I'm really glad I tried the $20 jambing I'm gonna tell you my opinion on whether I think the $20 jambing is worth it or not Outside you find will you try my crepe? Will you try my jambing? You're gonna make me a jambing? Yeah, am I gonna get poisoned? I still have a class today Okay, so I'm gonna pour it, smear it, crack the egg, sprinkle the seeds, pick it up, flip it over Spread it on, slap on the ingredients, then roll it up. I'm gonna wear gloves Not because I want to but because I have to it's the law Right? You know like the... you know the step or the... what is it? You're kinda getting it, no? It's a heel, get it the second time You didn't see that Alright, I'm rolling with this one. I'm rolling with this one Nice little treat and it is right here in this brush. I made my first jambing Who wants to try it? Would you please Taste my jambing This is how you eat jambing as a Chinese. You don't cut it You just bite it Hold up. Hold up. You're gonna laugh after you eat that The only thing I can taste is the cream and the yotiao. That's it Good for first time Okay Ren Zheng In Chinese we say if you eat someone's food say something good about it Okay, all right. All right. All right Is the 20 dollar jambing worth it? If you've ever eaten a jambing that you liked and you love to see the elevated version I would definitely try the 20 dollar jambing once but I actually think that the six dollar jambing The original one is actually the one you should definitely start off getting. I think the original one is really good My favorite was actually the cumin lamb jambing. Shout out to everybody else in the kitchen of me and crepe Let me know what other items you want to see me review the $20 version of I'm Andru from the fungrows and I'm out Peace. All right So another thought came to mind is that after talking to a lot of people there They had actually never even heard of a jambing. They hadn't even heard of a Chinese crepe So me and crepe is actually introducing the jambing to people here out in Pasadena Because if you made people go out of their way just to try a Chinese crepe Not that many people would go but since it's down the street from their offices They're actually given a shot and so that way they're actually being introduced to the Chinese crepe. Shout out to them I think it's important
