Chinese KFC was really good before but now its fallen off (the big crunch equivalent is now this tiny rectangle, the chicken isn't as cripsy, and it kinda just tastes like salt) and domestic chains like Tasiting (sort of like if you made a burger but it was actually a fried chicken roujiamo) are really putting pressure on it. Honestly this might be a good thing if it means KFC in China sucks less, its super nostalgic because as a kid it was the "fancy western restaurant" for occasional treats.

China’s food is too good to let these shitty western corporations feed people slop. President Xi please press the nationalization button

For real I could spend 20RMB at most for the best meal I've ever had at a night market stall, or I can pay twice as much for an extremely disappointing burger.

It's really crappy in Australia. Fries are always undercooked and everything just tastes like grease

Yeah, and north american KFC is always oddly soggy? Like you fried this right?

They also charge so much for so little here, it sucks.

I will tell you that is the strategy for fast food everywhere. Have a really good year or five (if you can afford it) of really good food, then cut the quality to the floor for as long and as low as you can.

I was there about 20 years ago, and it was straight up incredible. Probably the best fried chicken I've had to this day. Bummer that it's fallen off, but hopefully the government takes it over and MCGA.
