Che Lun Bing (車輪餅/车轮饼) Wheel Pie

Che Lun Bing (車輪餅/车轮饼) Wheel Pie

 




Che lun bing (車輪餅/车轮饼) (pinyin with tones: chē lún bǐng) is named wheel pie because it requires a wheel-shaped mold bakeware to make it. It was introduced to Taiwan during Japanese occupation. Different from Japanese wheel pie, which is called 今川焼き (yimagawayaki), 大判焼き (ōbanyaki), or 回転焼き (kaitenyaki), Taiwanese che lun bing is less sweet and also has some savory flavors. Che lun bing is a favorable street snack you can find in traditional markets, night markets, or the pedestrian arcades. There are three classic and traditional flavors: red bean, cream, and dried radish shreds. Although there are more and more innovative flavors such as taro, black sesame, peanuts, and cheese, people are mostly fond of red bean and cream tastes. That is why che lun bing is also called hong dou bing (紅豆餅, red bean wheel pie) or nai you bing (奶油餅, cream wheel pie).

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
