Jianbing is a traditional Chinese street food created nearly 2000 years ago in the Shandong Province.
It is a thin and crispy crepe made with corn, mung bean, rye and buckwheat. In addition it is flavoured with black and white sesame seeds.
Firstly, Jianbing Bar serve it as a savoury option. This is slow cook duck or beef or the vegetarian Jianbing with Fafafel and mixed salad. However, the Jianbing can also be Vegan so just ask when you are ordering.
Also, for something sweeter, we have the Nutella and Strawberry Jianbing or with fresh cream strawberries and banana. Hence, the simple pleasure of the Jian Bing drizzled with lemon juice and some sugar is also a favourite.
In short, start your day with the Breakfast Jian Bing, filled with eggs, sausage, bacon and scallions. Jianbing Bar serve with Bell Lane Coffee which from Mullingar or now our signature Bubble Tea.
Bubble tea is suddenly all the rage. However, it’s actually been a hot (or cold!) favourite in countries like Hong Kong, China and Taiwan since the 1980s.
As a result, an incredibly unique looking beverage, Bubble tea is a Taiwanese recipe made by blending a tea base with milk. In addition, adding fruit and fruit juices. Further, then followed by the signature “bubbles” – yummy tapioca pearls that sit at the bottom.
A sweet, cool refreshing and really delicious treat. Hence, it comes in as many flavours as there are teas and fruits, so you can pick and choose.
Moreover, these delicious fruit or tea infusions can be served either piping hot or iced cold, making a delicious and ever-so-quirky drink and snack. You can serve Bubble Tea in transparent cups with a fat straw so that. Thus, as you sip – the tapioca balls (also known as “pearls” or “boba”) come shooting up it and can be chewed as you swallow down the delicious liquid. To sum up, it’s called bubble tea both because of the tapioca balls, and the floating “bubbles” created by the vigorous shaking involved in its blending.

I stumbled on this place by accident when going for a drink in quay Street. Jianbing Bar is a new Chinese crepe restaurant in the centre of Quay Street. The Veggie Bing is excellent, very tasty and beautifully presented. Jianbing is another great option when eating out in Galway City.
Never heard of Bubble Tea before! Very surprised how good it tasted. Went for the iced cold option….very refreshing!
