In Beijing it's very popular for locals to eat a breakfast crepe called "jian bing" in the morning (or really any time of the day for that matter). For example, there was a cart on the street Saturday night at about 1am selling jian bing for about 50 cents. It's a large, thin crepe with double egg, parsley, scallions, hot sauce and some other sauces painted on and then this crispy fried "thing" is wrapped up in the middle of it. I'm not sure what the fried thing is if it's just noodle dough or something like that. Overall they are pretty tasty. I got one at the bottom of mutianyu a couple months ago. I found it a little salty and a little too rich but it was "howcher" (delicious) nonetheless.
Look on youtube for a video of how they are made...
