Jen's Bing Amsterdam East: the best place for Taiwanese street food

It all started with a food truck, which drew large crowds at events like Rollende Keukens (Rolling Kitchens). Taiwanese Jenny Wu once came to the Netherlands to work as an au pair, but decided fate would take a different course. This led to an introduction of Amsterdammers to Taiwanese cuisine, so she set up a stall at the Ten Katemarkt in Amsterdam-West. The absolute hit? Dan bing, one of the simplest yet classic dishes of Taiwanese cuisine; a savory pancake. Fans are now in their element, as Jen's Bing Amsterdam has now opened in Amsterdam-West.

Jen's Bing Amsterdam

One thing led to another; Jenny's stall was such a resounding success that she decided to open a shop on the corner of Ten Katestraat. That, too, proved to be a bullseye, and fans of Jenny's specialty jumped for joy when she finally opened her own restaurant with a more extensive menu, Jen's Bing . This time not in familiar Amsterdam West, but rather in the East, right across from the UvA Roeterseiland campus.

Jen's Bing Menu

Jen's Bing Amsterdam's menu naturally consists largely of the savory pancakes she made her name with. These are chewy, by the way, and are rolled up and sliced ​​for you. The cheese and kimchi version is an absolute show-stopper, and perhaps a favorite among the hungover students who frequent the place. The huge crowd of Taiwanese Amsterdammers, including regulars, enjoy the dan bing with succulent chicken with just as much love.
