Chinese name: 潤餅 (run4 bing2)
English translation: Taiwanese version of a burrito
Where to find it: Jiu Fen (潤餅） Ice cream version, and some small night markets.
Price: 30-40NT
Thin layer of skin with shredded peanuts mixed with parsley and different flavored ice cream usually like taro or lychee. This type of run bing is harder to find. The more typical kind is the kind that has vegetables in side with some pork meat. When it's rolled up it looks just like a burrito. I'm not sure if other countries eat this as well or if it's just a Taiwan thing. But I'd recommend trying it if you see it.

OMG, this is one of my most favorite foods since I've been in Taiwan. I first tried it on Old Street in Daxi (大溪), and now I always look for it whenever I'm in a new town or night market. The combination of peanut, ice cream, and cilantro flavors is incredible! I know I'm going to miss this once I'm back in the US.
