One portion of three-fresh doupi, please.
The story
Doupi was Chairman Mao's favourite Wuhan breakfast; he visited 老通城 (Lao Tongcheng) twice for it in the 1950s. Watching the cook flip a whole plate-sized crêpe with a single spatula is half the pleasure.
How to eat it
Order by the portion (一份). Eat the crispy edge first. It is filling — one portion is a full breakfast.
Where
老通城 (Lao Tongcheng), 王师傅豆皮 near Yellow Crane Tower, and most morning streets in Wuchang.
Allergens: egg, gluten (soy sauce), pork
