Fast Food

 


Western fast food is repidly making inroads in the Chinese restaurant market. The most common (especially in the large cities in the east) are KFC, McDonalds and Pizza Hut.

Our city has 15 KFC restaurants . . . the most recent being a drive-thru! I'll have to get a picture of it soon. However, there are none in our district. In order for us to get to the nearest one, we either have to take a taxi that can cross a bridge restricting bus traffic, or take a bus that has to detour to another bridge and then backtrack . . . which takes twice as long as the taxi! Needless to say, we don't go very often . . . in fact, I don't think we have been once since the start of the semester.

We were delighted to discover this little place just down the street from us. It's menu is almost the same as KFC, but the cost is about half of KFC! Also, the picture menu is identical to KFC . . . we are very happy campers. The chicken chunks (popcorn chicken) is all white meat and the french fries taste just like home! We eat there about every ten days.
