It's been over a year since my move to Hong Kong from Chicago, and the idea for this blog post came about from a recent Facebook conversation with a friend about
McD's food safety scandal that caused them to stop selling McNuggets and other stuff in Hong Kong. So, to my curious friends, here's what you'll never see on the menu of your go-to fast food chains in the US.
I suppose it comes down to the Hong Kong consumers' habit of having different options in what they can buy... so, every now and then KFC would come up with something 'special':
 |
| Italian herbs and cheese to bring a taste of Italiano to Hong Kong's KFC customers... I'd try that! |
 |
| Sweet lemon sauce over fried chicken... Hmmm, I wonder if it tastes like the typical orange chicken? |
McDonald's in different parts of the world serve that region's staple food. Like gyros slices instead of beef patty in Greece. Back in the states, we've got something as American as apple pie. Meanwhile, here in Hong Kong, we've got something...
 |
| ...as Chinese as Taro Pie! |
 |
| Would you like your McNuggets to be Korean, Japanese, or American? |
 |
| We love them both... black or white :) #nohate |
When it comes to pizza... Hong Kong has a VERY different idea of what it is:
 |
| Yes, it contains all manner of seafood with CREAM CHEESE and FISH ROE within the crust |
 |
| One word: Yuck. And I thought I've seen it all... |
