("At his colorful stand, cooks spread a thin film of batter made with mung bean and rice flours onto a griddle, break an egg on it, add herbs and condiments, flip it, roll it and cut it in two. He has come up with nontraditional versions with roast duck, marinated chicken or roast pork")

My comment:
(a) Judging from the description in this news piece-- and I go to Internet to see what it looks like -- Taiwan does not have (北京)煎饼. The only 煎饼 we have in Taiwan is packaged 义美煎饼.
(b) In Japan 煎餅 (kanji; pronounced senbei, where the last letter "i" signals a long vowel for "e" and pronounced different from the second syllable of "Taipei") is another thing. See 煎餅

(d) "The stand also sells smashed cucumber salad" 拍黄瓜. (Because I did not know the dish had a name,) I did not know of its name until today.
