KFC “fish hamburger”

•June 28, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Fun fact – the Chinese eat the same type food at every meal, even breakfast. There’s really no “ethnic” food around. But after a week, we just couldn’t do Chinese food again tonight, so we decided to see what KFC sells in China. There are similarities, like fries, but also big differences intended to appeal to the Chinese palette. We were kindly offered a “fish hamburger”. KFC needs to fire their translator.
