McDonalds!

Lately I have noticed a plethora of American chain restaurants popping up around town. Here is a brief overview:
1)Baskin Robbins - pretty much exactly the same flavors as in the US, and about $3.50 for a single scoop- ouch.
2) KFC- The Colonel rules. THE MOST POPULAR place to eat in all of China. Pathetic. I've never actually tried it here but I guarantee it's chock full of trans fats.
3) Dunkin Donuts- The newest addition to the city and I must say, my personal favorite. After nearly two years of deprivation, a chocolate glazed never tasted so good. But, they have definitely "China-fied" it. You can choose several variations of green tea flavored donuts as well as pork floss and seaweed. Yuck.
4) Dairy Queen- good, same as back in the USA. Cheap and full of local milk products so probably contains melamine (see previous posts).
5) Pizza Hut and Papa Johns- Both have taken on a local flavor and are no where near as good as home- offers include tuna pizza. Between the two, I like PJ's for take out and PH for eat in (both offer very nice eat in options compared to the US).
6) Starbucks- Like the States, there is one on every corner. Very similar to the US in their offerings; however, all flavored drinks are much less sweet. Mega expensive so mostly full of foreigners and rich Chinese.
7) McDonalds- one word- DELIVERY. Just ordered 2 cheeseburgers and 2 sundaes which were delivered to our apartment within 15 minutes for a total of less than $5.00. Hmm, this could be dangerous.
So if any of you faithful readers actually make it over here and you are hankering for a taste of home- no worries, we got you covered!
