also, about price. is it more expensive or cheaper there to buy a BigMac/?

that is all. thanks for the answers if you can help out :)

Answer 1

Yes they have like McDonalds, Pizza Hut, TGIF, KFC, Burger King. But the preparation & taste of the foods are a little different from its American taste. It was prepared & cook the way the local market will like it. Also in their menu they added some that are China own style foods but dont worry there are still American food listed. Ordering is same as what your doing in America, they are separate by Meal # (as what McDo, KFC & Burger King is doing), while in Pizza Hut & TGIF they will give you the menu list (written in English & Chinese with pictures). They know here that pizza, hamburger, etc are american food but of course they do have their own chinese equivalent name for these so when they order since the crew are chinese they can speak it in chinese equivalent name. If you are a foreigner you can just say pizza & ect., since most of this american fastfood has crew that can speak & understand English.

The price I think if you convert it is a little cheaper for a foreigner but for the local Chinese they said it is too expensive.

Answer 2

Why are you going all the way to China to eat American Junk Food? That makes no sense! But since you asked, yes, China has Mc Donalds (maidanglao), KFC (kendeji), Pizza Hut (bishengke) and Starbucks (xingbake) in almost every major city. Places like Beijing and Shanghai also have restaurants like A&W, Taco Bell, TGIF, and others. Every city has a "American Food" knockoff place that sells food that both disturbs and scares.

They call it "Western fast food" (xican), but most often they'll just name the restaurant directly ("let's go to kendeji for dinner"). Prices, if converted into your currency are in similar - maybe just a bit cheaper... but when considered in comparison to local Chinese salaries the prices are quite expensive. Western fast food is something that the middle class might eat every once in a while, but the lower class couldn't even dream of.

Answer 3

Shanghai has the worlds biggest Mc Donalds, they have Burger king (which is much better than McD, Pizza Hut, Costa coffee(better than Starbucks) but I disagree with one answer the food in China now is not the way it once was. Cooking oil now is cheap and the food here in the last few years has become very oily. One restaurant said they use 500 liters of cooking oil per month: My 1960 Chevy don't use that much.

Answer 4

yup, Mcdonalds, KFC and pizza hut are pretty popular in china and they're almost everywhere on the streets. They just call it mcdonalds and kfc or Mai Dang Lao and Ken De Ji in chinese. The pricing is about the same but personally I find the fast food in china tasting like frozen food. If you go to China, eat traditional chinese food, because chinese food in china has that special chinese taste that you can't get from eating chinese food anywhere else. Plus it's cheaper.

Answer 5

They have Macdonalds, KFC, and Pizza Hut.

Some Amercians like it , some don't. They are made to match the taste of the local chineses. However, I find that the food in Pizza Hut is actually better.

Answer 6

China has soooo many food outlets...Just go to any mall..u will get to the foodcourt mostly at the basement..GREAT...U will see so many mcdonalds that u will not need to ask... Plus where in china are u?? It is decently priced but really depends where u are??...beijing shangai etc...i dont know how the locals pronounce mcdonalds but learn some phrase....nobody speaks english...i am getting pretty good with ...yes..sign language.

Answer 7

yeah im pretty sure
mcdonalds is international


The brand is known informally as "Mickey D's" (in the US and Canada), "Macky D's" (in the UK), "McDo" (in France, Quebec, the Philippines, and the Kansai region of Japan), "Maccer's" (in Ireland), "Macarrannis" (in Mexico), "Maccas" (in New Zealand and Australia), "Donken" (in Sweden) or "de Mac" (in the Netherlands).

Thomas Friedman once said that no country with a McDonald's had gone to war with another.[6] However, the "Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention" is not strictly true. Careful historians point to the 1989 United States invasion of Panama, when NATO bombed Serbia in 1999, and the 2006 Lebanon War as exceptions.

Some observers have suggested that the company should be given credit for increasing the standard of service in markets that it enters. A group of anthropologists in a study entitled Golden Arches East (Stanford University Press, 1998, edited by James L. Watson) looked at the impact McDonald's had on East Asia, and Hong Kong in particular. When it opened in Hong Kong in 1975, McDonald's was the first restaurant to consistently offer clean restrooms, driving customers to demand the same of other restaurants and institutions. In East Asia in particular, McDonald's have become a symbol for the desire to embrace Western cultural norms. McDonald's have recently taken to partnering up with Sinopec, China's second largest oil company, in the People's Republic of China, as it begins to take advantage of China's growing use of personal vehicles by opening numerous drive-thru restaurants.
