Fast food update

In my continuing effort to bring my friends and family tidbits of information that they won’t find anywhere else I bring you my latest finding—a review of KFC in China.

First of all, KFC is huge in Hong Kong, I am told. And it looks like that’s not far from the truth. Not only have I ran across tons of locations—as many as McDonald’s, in fact—but they are packed all the time. The Chinese seem to like our fair Kentucky’s most famous delicacy: fried birdie parts. Although, my feeling is that they are getting screwed in the deal, I found the chicken to be dry and tasteless. This is mostly due to the fact that it appears to be less greasy—those silly health conscious Chinese people, they don’t understand what KFC is all about: fat.

[This is for you Katie C.] Now for the best part; it is my pleasure to report that the KFC Twister I had last night at the Festival Walk mall (very chi chi) was at least as good as those found in Prague. They are about the same size as well, about the size of a small tortilla. There will always be a special place in my stomach for the Twister because Katie and I bonded over daily Twisters while we lived in Prague last year.

I promise my other posts will not deal exclusively with the food available here in HK, although to be honest my main activities have been eating and shopping for bootleg DVDs, with the occasional academic trip thrown in for good measure.
