Why China Loves KFC
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 09. 2024
- KFC is extremely popular in China - it made almost 5 billion dollars in 2017. One of the first American fast-food chains to open in China, KFC quickly established dominance over China's emerging fast food market. KFC's Chinese menu does an excellent job of adapting to local tastes, offering everything from congee (rice porridge) to egg tarts. While Americans may associate KFC with being cheap fast-food, in China the brand is perceived as high quality.

Why China Loves KFC
many China KFC 24 hours let homeless people in during the night
KFC has been a heartwarming brand in China. Not just the food
wow china is destined to be A great DRAGON SOMEDAY
That is very kind.I hope they keep on doing it.
Do they let the homeless eat the chicken leftover from the day too?
715490 926 no they don’t, but it is still heartwarming they let homeless guys stay there at night. It can be pretty damn cold during the night at some place
Like the kfc store under my apartment, but I think it’s not precise to call the people homeless. They just need a place to pass the night and will leave for work in the early morning
The spicy chicken wings in China’s KFC... OMG, never, never, tasted better ones anywhere in the US. Has been seeking for 10 years.
Exactly! I was so disappointed when I came to US and found out there is no spicy chicken wings on the menu!
Cough cough skinners
Should you drop by Malaysia for a spell, do try our KFC spicy chicken. It is delectable :)
@@ArezEzman I bet it is but theirs a episode in the Simpsons where principal Skinners talk about a soup that he used to make but he can't get the spices right
@@bobfoster4175 LOL! But dude, Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures and I can guarantee that they got the spices right this time XD
Just a disclaimer: Chinese don’t see any fastfood chain as luxury. The do see it as a treats
Yeh, so many ppl point this out lmao. The video is bullshitting hahahah.
Chinese make almost Exact same amount of income as American.
A burger meal costs 30 bucks up.
I know tons of people over there only enjoy a burger on Sunday
@@billsmith9234 fake name Bill Smith. Broken English, fake info= wumao
Pretty sure the Westerners also see fast food chains as occasional treats. The fact is that what we consider as a normal meal (like a homemade burger) the Chinese see them as fast food because Mcdonalds and KFCs have engraved them with Burgers and Fries = Unhealthy fast food
@@billsmith9234 I'd say on average the living standard of U.S is once or twice better than that of China, with PPP taken into consideration. Suppose an American dude makes half or a third as h he does now. A KFC meal would be definitely a treat in that case. But still far from being a luxury.
I haven't been to China, but i'm a Vietnamese and i can tell you KFC in Vietnam is really a treat to most of us (not really a luxury but also not some everyday, eat-on-the-go food) because you can have a really decent meal for 25 - 30k VND (1.3$ USD) and a KFC set is usually around 80k VND (3.5$).
What about jollybee there? Im British but vietnamese.
yes like a treat ... simple idea fried chicken with spices - why local people do not do their own version ..in thailand they have very good food carts, choose and the man cooks from a menu 10 options all fresh and good price .. chicken, rice and drink 2 dollars bargain, cart 10 spices hot to very hot two rices 3 drinks flavours - trick is cart is moved and everyone know what time it arrives and then moves on .. many dont even cook its cheaper to buy from the carts .. 10pm breakfast. 5pm take home for evening - they even sell cold beers
@@barnabydinosaurroadsafetyp3457 VNmese have our own version of fried chicken with rice. And it's extremely popular.
@@normtrong1121 Jolibee is doing ok. THey are the 3rd largest foreigner fast food brand in VN. After KFC and Lotteria
@@dieptrieu6564 I remember getting some local fried chicken with rice and soup for around 35k VND (foreigner price) when I was there in 2016. So much better than anything you can get a fast food joint. I don't know why you'd want to go to KFC.
Chinese people don't see KFC as something luxurious, it's just they do a pretty good localization job!
I'm not saying your right or wrong... but several of these chinese commenters said it was a luxury.
Jessica Rae it was when it enters, I remember when I was a kid I usually get to go KFC as a treat. Right now it is more like a “casual food”. The western fast food usually label itself as “leisure food”, and they appear to be much more middle class favored with bright colors, open environments, clean and tidy fashioned and just generally modern look, that aside their food actually taste freshly cooked and has good flavor.
The KFC ppl got in North America or at least in Canada to my knowledge, almost appear as a low class food chain, just how grim and messy everything looks like. At the same time things taste like they got microwaved, and they got a tiny menu.
@@GGWP-gm5cq you hit the nail on the head about kfc in Canada
@@jessigirlrae1688 I see Chinese commenters here referring to it as a treat
I haven't seen any Chinese commenter here referring to it as a luxury
But ok
Spiros Pa sounds racism
Western KFC are just too lazy to improve.
"Here is the chicken, just pay and eat" attitude.
what more do you want
@@jujharbling265 I was wondering why KFC removed most of the delicious foods from its menu when the first time I am in the western KFC... Until I knew that those foods are provided in China only. Egg tarts they mentioned was a good example.
Exactly. It used to be so good but now all they do is try to save money by serving old dry chicken with not as much seasonings.
@@anonimai KFC is still good in my country tho
@@croczoc637
Yeah from travel blogs I see that KFC is still good in the rest of the world. The franchise owners in the States just dont care. I wish they could be held accountable by corporate.
Lived in China before for a while, it's burgers are better than McDonald's and it's actually good
U must try Maharaja big mac burger n India mc Donald's mate
@@ZaneT531 sure next time if I go there
Same with Japan and Korea, like almost everywhere else besides the USA.
KFC in China does not have beef
@@od2437 Calling only ground beef sandwiches "burgers" is not a worldwide phenomenon. He meant their chicken sandwich is much better than the ones in the US, and it is.
kfc in china is way better than ones in US. they come up with new menus almost every month. food quality is way better. i'd eat kfc every week in china but in US i only go there when there's absolutely no other options. even halal truck across the street from kfc has better food.
Agree
Kfc is china favourite brand
I would say that Jollibee from Phillipine is way better than KFC and Popeyes in the US.
:D
Chinese kfc menu have dog meat😂
KFC in ASIA is so good. I never tasted fresh fast food in my life, especially the chicken. I was travelling Malaysia for a month to visit my parents home town and would stop to check it out.
Not everywhere in Asia. The last time I went to KFC there wasn't even gravy ;-; and felt greasy. I wish that was the only branch with that kind of service. (I won't specify the country where this branch came from but it's in Asia)
Damn as Malaysian when I see the video I'm like:wow like really that bad.... It hurt my feeling :(
Ps:many people in malaysia rather eat a KFC than Mcdonald :/
Comparatively to UK, our KFC is the bomb.
I went to kfc in Malaysia when I was visiting my cousins it was better I think though I went there like 4 years ago
@@caise3910 was it hong kong it has the worse KFC and it makes no sense when Shenzhen is right next door
I have been living in Shanghai since I was little and I don't really think that the locals were considering the KFC as a luxury😂
Kid you not, I'm Chinese and when I was young, my parents will treat me a trip to KFC if I get a good result for the exam.
Yeah, my parents once told me the same thing!!!!! 哈哈哈哈笑死我了
Saaaame
That’s the most asian thing I’ve heard and I’m asian
thank goodness my parents liked KFC too so we ate it often but when we moved to UK, everything tasted plain... missing the KFC there..
次元碎片啊
Oh come on, it is not a luxury in China, it is still a FAST FOOD restaurant in China. People might consider it luxury like 20 years ago...
I think it’s something more exciting than normal fast food. It tastes a lot better than America KFC
Well, it was luxury in 1985.
Luxury doesn't mean $100 per portion. It's just mean premium or higher than local average.
I guess premium price would be a better descriptions.
@@RPG1234ninja Na, you should put it: all American branded Chinese fast food is more exciting than normal USA fast food. Not just KFC. McDonald's, PizzaHat, you name it.
NNT Flow well, no matter which kind of definition, it is not a luxury food
It's not cheap, but definitely NOT luxury....
Like a steak house. A not as good steak house
Mid food. Neither cheap or that expensive
10 years ago,it's luxury definitely
@@maxxie461 I can't believe you comment that on 2020. If you said 20 years ago I would've agreed lol
@@rg_ryt7225 Yeah. Now, in Beijing and Shanghai KFC is definitely cheap fast food as it is in the US. 10 years ago it was neither cheap nor expensive I'd say. 20 yeas ago it was expensive.
3:10 “The egg tart from KFC was so good”. I can second that. KFC China serves some of the best egg tarts ever
their recipes is literally from the first people who opened an egg tart shop in Macau, the couple who opened it got divorced and the woman sold the recipe to KFC
@@timlilijinsheng4070 sounds interesting. Thanks for the info
@@timlilijinsheng4070 lol egg tarts are originally from Portugal regardless so the best egg tart is from Portugal.....
@@godschild7289 I mean the KFC recipe not the original...
she definitely ate more than 4
"it's exactly like kfc in America, except different"
Ohk thanks that helps..
Yes I did
Japan loves kfc too
They eat KFC on Christmas day.
Does Japan have a Popeyes? If not then they really should as their chicken taste better.
@@Luster...
KFC in China tastes much better than Popeye's in Canada.
Japan love hentai ♡♡♡
china loves kfc, japan loves kfc, implies china loves japan
can't believe no one mentioned KFC serves one of best public toilet
They serve toilets???
@@user-fs8wu5ef2d yes they have squat toilets
Same in parts of europe! Free toilet!
Same for Mcdonald's
@@windywendi quiet rare
Unbelievable but true... I’ve been living in Shanghai for many years and doesn’t matter where I am there’s always crowded KFC’s compared to McDonald’s
Louis V. X
There’s two KFCs in 100 metres of each other.
Do you agree with me that McDonald’s actually does better chicken then kfc in China?
American Students's reaction when they first tried KFC China: czcams.com/video/uMnEwoMZUt8/video.html
That video didn't feature the duck, pork, beef, fish, shrimp, croissants, tofu, frybreads (like the Native American ones that you tried in a powwow), and century eggs in KFC. KFC China has basically everything except for lamb and goat meat.
I always find crowded McDonald's in New York
They say KFC are luxury restaurants in China. Then they say it's everywhere…So we have luxury restaurants all over the country? I don't think we are that rich…
I think she mean back in the 90s...... now it's just unhealthy garbage food.
Commander Erik well its not healthy, but chinese kfc is really good with high quality
@@appleberrypie5078 I won't say their quality is good because they were struggling with illegal additives before. More importantly, KFC is no longer the primary selection for customs.
Luxury in perception.

In Japan, KFC is a christmas tradition. It's crazy how the point of view of KFC is different in different country
They know how to adapt
All about marketing
I wanna move to japan now
Custom, not tradition
“In Japan, KFC is a christmas tradition.”
Suddenly I’m imagining Heian period Japan at the height of the country’s arts and culture development, going to KFC for a winter solstice meal 😂
China's KFC'S are so much different & better (at least the ones in which I ate), they were proper restaurants, loads of variety in the menu, everyone seemed dressed and the food was actually delicious!
Yes, I agree.
@Alan Mentary hahahaha good one
Both these producers speak as if everything is a question. It’s annoying
So what?!
They had to learn more contemporary American English of youngsters which overwhelmingly sound wimpy
It was the bigger girl that ruined my day. Can’t stand it when people talk like that? It’s so annoying? It’s almost like a habit that some people can’t stop.
What makes it worse I think is that because it's in video format, they should've had time to form the sentences and their message beforehand. But their way of speaking makes them sound unprepared and unlettered xD
They sound like they’re imitating Southern California privileged white girls 😂
Business Insider needs to step their game up!
KFC egg tarts. I'm still dreaming about them! They're so good.
I didn't like many things in China when I visited, but those egg tarts were the bomb!
@@Yashiv88 oh, you did not like most of China food?
@@xiaomose7495 a lot of people think foods like pigeon and duck are weird, they’re really good
@@ogaboga6496 you know duck is one of delicacy in Europe right? 🙄 for pigeon yeah its not that popular world-wide
@@xiaomose7495 I’m saying in Canada. Some people think it’s gross
I lived in China for 1 year and a half and I can confirm that everything said in this video is true. One thing that they didn't mention in this video is that KFC in China Also has its own breakfast menu, my favourite was a savoury rice pudding with a dipping bread that dissolved in your mouth when you eat it.
P.S. I live in area called Jiangsu province and in that area alone there were about 8 KFC's within a 10 to 30 minute radius, most of them within walking distance to each other. As for McDonald's there were about 5 in Jiangsu and only 2 Burger King.
Oddly enough, KFC in China actually taste more like Popeyes in the U.S.
David Ran hmmmmmm
Does Popeyes have rice dishes, Chinese breakfast, monthly special items? No, KFC China is so much mode than Popeyes in USA
Jen Zonia Maybe because it’s to do with different cultures. I’m sure Popeyes in the US has stuff China doesn’t.
Jen Zonia Probably got bat soup on your menu too 🙄
MsMrapplepie ah yes love spotting racists in the comments :))
This is pretty interesting to watch for a Chinese Chinese like me. Indeed, KFC is not quite like KFCs from the west. It's usually clean, modern and the food is usually better than it in the US. Around 2000, KFC was considered to be a treat for kids at that time. Like if you were a kid and had a birthday party in the KFC, your friends would think you are either rich or popular (or both). Nowadays, KFC is more like a meh food for young people, like if you can't really decide what to eat, or even going to watch a football game at night, you would go to KFC.
As far as I know, KFC is far more localized than any other US companies. Many people may hate the US at this point, but they would never turn down a meal in KFC lol.
I love KFC, but last time I went to one is like half years ago. Because there's just sooooo many other selections that taste better and cheaper. :) Hope you would find this comment interesting. Let me know if you have some questions regarding this topic XD
:D
I heard they cook bigger chickens there called cockatrices, is that true?
interesting comment! thank you
Why do you guys hate the US rn?
Part of the reason is political propaganda. Most people who don't like America are old people. Young people are more fond of foreign cultures. So now the Chinese government has set up a firewall to prevent young Chinese from getting too exposed to foreign ideas
KFC is no where near a “Luxury” status in China now. It is very mid level. They do have very good localized menu. They have solid food for nice price, which makes good business. Their stores are usually 24/7, which attracts lots of homeless people, and we praise them for this social service. Actually Pizza Hut is a much more extreme example. While Pizza Hut is pretty much the same level in US, it is market as a much more upscale restaurant in China. Yes, Pizza Hut can kind of be called Luxury in China. But remember now in China a Luxury restaurant has a very high bar, something like at least 50 US dollar per meal per person, so they would never be at that level.
Well Pizza Hut isn’t selling that pepperoni cheese slice . They created all kind of weird shit like lobster and shrimp pizza
Exactly lol that's the funny thing of this vid, why would they need to launch Kpro if they are already so luxurious looool
Pizza Hut sucks in the us
@@FortunePathVenerable It’s a Chinese styled Pizza Hut bruh. Of course they’re going to have Asian styled foods on the menu.
@@cSedx00022 i remember pizza hut in china once had escargots on there menu, wich we chinese don't eat
In the Philippines, KFC gravy for the chicken is unlimited, we pour it over rice and slurp as soup. Good times

Why kfc failed in US because of frozen meat and just chicken.
It succeeded in india because of fresh chicken and they started making rice items in kfc
How did it fail in the US it came from it
Zakary Loreto at first its a hit but later lot of chicken making fast food options rise and they make some fresh chicken, and the fall begun
Fun fact. KFC had tried India more than two decades before as well. The one blunder they made was selling beef patty burgers. Things got ugly very quickly.
I mean unless you live in the US you should know kfc isn’t failing
@@TastyMangos it isn't failing but McDonalds, Chick-fil-a, Popeyes, etc. is beating its ass even though KFC is the same age as McDonalds and was once the biggest fast food restaurant in US in 1963. Chick-fil-a has surpassed KFC as the biggest chicken retailer in 2012, and KFC sales have basically stayed the same to now.
China is now KFC's biggest market, US is second. KFC is also China's biggest restaurant chain.
01:23 she said KFC is luxury food in China, i think that's true 10 or 20 years ago, but today? i'm dont think so, because a typical KFC meal is about RMB30~40, a typical Chinese fast-food meal in CBD area of Shenzhen is about RMB15~25, so i can't see any "luxury" in KFC restaurants.
Geee... let me know where I could have a RMB15 meal in Shenzhen CBD ...
I disagree with you, but on a different side. Actually in big cities in China, KFC and McDonald are cheaper choices for lunch.
Luxury restaurant prices in China are more around 150 USD per person just like anywhere else in the world. The journalists themselves have no idea about food industry. This video is junk. The other reason why KFC works so much better than the other competitors is the same as Transformers’: KFC was the very first International fast food chain to start in China.
How many dollars is that?

When you visit KFC in China, try out their spicy chicken wings, GODLY good
A little Too spicy for me
KFC in NA: dry, soggy chicken that haven't changed in 30 years.
KFC in China/Japan: juicy, crispy chicken that transforms month over month.
If you travel to China or Japan and you didn't eat in KFC, you really missed out.
it’s called localization. Yum brands and Yum China are two companies now. KFC in the US belongs to Yum Brands and Chinese KFC owned by Yum China. Both of them are Fortune 500 and traded in NYSE separately.
KFCs made a comeback. They have the best spicy chicken sandwich now. Popeyes was a hoax. Chic fil a makes you put on your own sauce: lame. Wendies doesn’t offer pepper jack anymore. Chicken sandwiches have declined
I'll never forget the times my gramma who lives there took me to kfc when I visited China...
prices are very cheap there, you could literally feed an extra person or two with the same amount of money spent there compared to North America.
The chicken is also very tasty, so is the other menus there (drinks, burgers, fries, etc.), literally, they offer a vast array of different varieties of menus there that you can't even find here in America, like the ''Double Chicken Burger'', where the buns are replaced with big chicken pieces, with other stuff in there too.
If you plan to visit China you must grab a taste at their KFC!! I hope this convinces you a bit! ;)
wait wait what? fast food is more like a luxury food in china ??? KAra , what have you learned from china from the 8 years stay ??? you lived in countryside area?
Sirui Gu she compares it to US, where fast food is just junk food. While in China, KFC considers as ‘more’ than just a fast food. You can call it luxury in fast food field. At least that’s how I felt during my 10 years in Beijing
Juggrouxx ur wrong, kfc is junk food in china also but some kids like it
gorgeous G not during my stay in Beijing, especially back in early 2009. We considered kfc as expensive food
Juggrouxx we? Who is we?
Juggrouxx it’s expensive but still junk food, hamburgers fried chicken is not so popular in china, if u really live in china u will know the fact
Fun fact : when KFC first introduce drive thru in China, most Chinese doesn't understand what is "Drive thru" so they order their meal on drive thru window, park their cars, go into restaurant to eat.
はははははは
Lol
哈哈哈哈哈哈笑死
Simply Higher Quality. Better spiced. More selection. And Best Eggtarts.

Abin George 1. That’s false
2. Generalizing an entire 1.4 billion people because of an idiot is wrong
3. Please change your mind
It’s nothing like KFC in the US. Even fried-chickens are much crispier and juicier
I've both lived in Aus and China for over 20 more yrs, also visited States for months is past years along, gonna tell KFC is a completely different thing in China and all the other countries I've been to, not only about the recipes. I remembered every KFC spot in China in early yrs and to mid-2010s are all equipped with kid playing facilities, it's the most iconic western fast food brand that opened in China since 1990s, and since the day KFC spread in China itself is kidda evolving it's own way, going real far on it's creation and adoption of local cuisine into burger. I'am still missing that Sichuan Beef pentagon roll released decade ago, that experience in China's KFC really feels different to my traditional sense's "Fast Food", it more sort of feels like something like those Japanese chain western canteen brands like Saizeriya.
It's a really interesting business case and definitely worth for some more deep in analysis.
Chinese KFC is one of the best things I've ever eaten, and there's no arguing with that.
Lived in China some years back and I liked their variety more, especially their curry bowls, new menu items, and side orders. More high end stuff though, is Pizza Hut, funny as it sounds. Their ads on their video sites alone made me hungry. And it was really good, friggin' tilapia and veggie stuffed crust pizza and pot pie!

wtf KFC is NOT seen as upscale the prices are really affordable, rather, it's seen as a novelty since no Chinese eats the thing sold in KFC or other western fast food chain on a regular basis.

I guess its kinda like how we love chinese food
I still remember when I was a kid there weren't many western restaurants in the small town I lived, and KFC was the first one. Staff there would host super cute birthday parties for the kids who have birthday there. I was always so jealous everytime I saw that Q.Q In the KFC in China we also have small "playgrounds" for kids like slides, board games, etc. When I was a teenager we would order some wings and ice-cream coffee, just chatting there for a whole afternoon. For me it's really more than a fast food chain.
I’m Chinese and I can tell you that KFC in China compares to Chick fil-a and Shake Shack in the States. I never go to KFC in the US because it’s just bad...
Here in Boston, USA there is only one store!!
Genshin impact collab: let us introduce ourself
Umm... KFC's fried chicken tastes okay, it's not very expensive either, so why not?

KFC in China is so good I recommend to everyone
I've had KFC in China, and it was amazing, way better than any KFC I've ever had in America and wayyy better than that greasy hobo shit we get here in Canada.

Indians also think that Kfc is a fancy food. They think that eating in Kfc increases their standard. Though there are several delicious fried chickens available in India. Shitty delusions created by marketing :3
2:40 you know she’s a fan of KFC 😂😂🍗
KFC was seen as lux food about 20-30 yrs ago. Nowadays KFC is seen as any other low cost fast food.
KFC in China is actual heat. They have so many different and unique menu items and they’re all amazing. Even tho I pretty much never get KFC in the U.S, whenever I head back to China, I’ll always buy some.
Same! Never had the desire to have KFC here but everytime I visit China I make sure to go
In Jamaica KFC is really popular too
Seeing this food makes me more hungry 😕😶
Kfc in china is like Kfc in the US but with a chinese flair.
The floor is made out of floor.
KFC is basically always crowded in China. For good reason. The chicken is absolutely delicious, literally finger-licking good. We don’t go to China often, but when we do, I was more excited about going to KFC for dinner instead of another restaurant lol
Shirley got really excited when you talk about KFC lmao !!! And she probably ate more then 4 egg Tarts .. she had 24

That's the imperial China you're talking about lol not the communist one, 100 years early
I would say if they have Chinese version KFC in The US, it could be one of the best Chinese restaurants.
First time heard that KFC is considered luxurious in China, lol. KFC is popular in China is because they are not only serving fried chicken, but also traditional Chinese dish like conge, You Tiao, Soy milk, and many other things. KFC is everywhere in China, even tier 5 cities. It succeeds because it knows how to adapt to the Chinese culture and mix the best of eastern and western elements into its products.
Most Asian KFC just tastes so good. Like bruh this reactivated my daily cravings for the classic chicken.
Asia really love their Fried Chicken. I tried once in China in 2010 and it has a unique taste.
In Japan, KFC is so popular that days before Christmas, people are already forming a long queue in every KFC restaurant I went to (Tokyo Area, not just the capital).
The “foreign fast food is luxury “ statement only hold ten years ago, now they are just one of thousands competitive fast food brand
china kfc are different, more variable meals, you can order up soup, vegetarian food, Chinese food, chinese tea, Mexican tacos etc, many more and they are 24 hours.
Why China loves KFC: because it tastes good, duh
Brian Sadler frankly Chinese kfc probably is the best fast food in world...
As a native Chinese, we do not see any fast food chains as “high-end” or “luxurious”. But I gotta say their spicy chicken sandwich, their wings and drums, and their fries are out of this world. I can guarantee you that their chicken sandwich is 10x tastier than the Popeyes chicken sandwich.
Clearly never tried a real popeyes sandwhich
What this video overlooks is the symbolism of chicken in Chinese cuisine. A chicken served whole at the dinner table symbolizes prosperity, togetherness of the family, joy. A chicken with its head, tail and feet symbolizes completeness. The chicken forms part of the symbolism of the dragon and phoenix representing auspicious male-female pairing in Chinese culture. Lobster represents the dragon and chicken represents the phoenix. Also, eggs mean 'fertility'. After a baby is born, parents may give hard-boiled eggs (with the outer shell dipped in red dye) to their relatives and friends to announce the birth of their baby.
For some reason, my grandmother (originally from China) never ate beef.

Offended?

Is that the health conscious sister brand? How’s the food, have you tried
I love KFC very much, since it's cheap and delicious. em, once in Paris, just try KFC there, what I thought is that is it KFC???
makes very much sense
It’s actually called KFB
Kentucky fried bats with Corona sauce
🤦♀️🤦♀️
Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that they put the drinks in the bag? 0:58
1:17 Lol, this girl sounds super Californian.
Every other sentence she says sounds like a question to herself, haha.
I think she's not sure too... She's using what she knew in the early 2000s as references. A producer? What a joke
@@Bjornbjornn I think so too. Her knowledge of it is limited to that time frame while she was there 10 years ago. Also I don't think they perceive it as a "luxury food"..it is affordable to the most of the masses. It doesn't have the bad reputation of fast food chains in US but I am sure people won't think of it as a luxury. LOL
KFC is basically dead in the us, I'm surprised that Chinese people enjoy it.
mohammmed fawzi The KFC in China is very different from the US KFC is way better and everything tastes a lot better plus their restaurants in China are actually pretty clean
It's popular in Asia as a whole. China, Japan, India, Korea.
Have u ever heard of blacks? They eat tons of kfc in america
Go try the KFC in China, best food ever. The KFC in Canada is garbage I don't eat it, I don't know about US KFC tho.
Tyson Hansen No, blacks just like everyone else know that Popeyes is better.
The KFC in Asia is just better, I live here and everytime I see reviews of Americans about the food of KFC it feels like it doesn't match to the KFC that I'm eating here. I'm assuming the KFC in the West is just terrible but KFCs here are great. Even McDonalds here is great.
I remember as a kid I was addicted to the mashed potatoes from KFC. Shame when I moved to Canada and I found out they had potato salad instead...
Food localization is the best job KFC have done in China, with so many variations of flavors which cater ppl from different areas in China, such as Peking Chicken Roll loved by most ppl from northern areas, and the Tender Beef Pentagon with spicy flavor preferred by ppl from Southwestern areas, and the Chicken porridge with YouTiao（fried stick） liked by ppl from southeastern areas, and the BBQ flavored Chicken leg with rice decorated with broccolis accepted by nearly all Chinese, all these localizations make KFC big success in China. I have traveled to India, Pakistan and Indonesia, finding none of the KFC stores there can provide satisfactory food for me.
