Welcome to another international episode of fun gross food today We are in Beijing China with our Beijing friend D's out But you're not from Beijing you grew up in the States, but you're from China now. You're back in China Yep, basically if you guys don't know KFC is the number one fast-food chain in all of China I don't know if you guys know this so there's a thing that happened in the last couple years that McDonald's in China was losing so much market share to KFC that All the McDonald's in China actually not owned by McDonald's USA They have to like back out of the country. So it's actually all McDonald's are owned by a Chinese company called Golden Arch Oh, that's why I don't call it my down low anymore and they call it Jinggung Man Jinggung. Yeah They lost the battle of the KFC I heard that KFC was the first one to enter the China market 30 years ago And I got to say I'm not surprised that KFC is number one in China because I know when our grandparents David Mama Yeah, yeah used to visit America They used to always go to KFC and it's funny because we didn't even eat at KFC That's crazy. I heard it was a it was a prestige brand at one point Like yeah, I mean it's considered like one of the first Western chains to come into China No, it's a very class of mine. I heard they made his eyes a little bit smaller to look more Asian. Is that true? You read that I read it But it's it's like people kind of have drawn that conclusion because he looks a little different than in the states Are you ready? We're gonna order everything off the menu at good Okay, we are KFC in China aka gun der ji aka kaifeng time. Let's go. Okay. Okay. I feel like We pretty much ordered everything here on menu at least one of everything. Yeah, we've ordered all the unique things First off should we go over these drinks peach oolong? Very Chinese a hot thorn tea juice and a grapefruit iced coffee My ways coffee is really interesting. It's like a It's like a nice coffee sweetened by like a grapefruit sweetener I actually thought that the addition of fruit and the coffee makes a lot of sense It kind of gives it that burst of citrusness. Yeah, I can't say that it works with grapefruit in my opinion I like some of the other Mixtures at startups. Well, David, maybe your taste buds just aren't that Chinese KFC grilled chicken thigh It almost tastes big though. You know, it's in here. It's really Chinese flavors. There's like some I think it's five spice I'm taste like what mom and dad used to make chicken drumsticks. All right guys. I got to try the Stulture No, I'm right. It's actually really good. Yeah, okay. It's a sweet. It's a sweet sweet I give it a four out of five man I think that was a strong one to start off with I'm gonna roll with the with the four out of five I'm gonna give the chicken Four out of five. We'll give the rice like a two out of five really it's a little soggy. I like the sauce though Pepper chicken brisks. I don't eat KFC a lot in China, but this is what I eat Well, let me try this sauce real quick Do you think the sweet and sour sauce in the Chinese KFC is more authentic? This is a sweet and sour, but Sour in the vinegar. Oh, sweet vinegar sauce. Oh, wow. I'm definitely trying that one next New Orleans baked wing Let's see if it captures the Flavor of null I actually really don't like this flavor. I know what you mean I don't really like there's no flavor of this. It tastes artificial. Honestly, you know why people I think people like it no shade It tastes like it came from the convenience store. It's kind of like soft like the convenience store one I'm not gonna lie. I think New Orleans as a city would I would be happy would be offended about this Yeah, I'm just gonna tuck this chicken wing in a unknown corner of the table Let's check out the mashed potatoes real quick This is hey, and it's a no different with no matter what country you in. Ah, do you think the gravy is different? Essentially, no, but a little bit a little bit more water a little bit more peppery, but essentially, you know Original what do you think is the is it the original recipe? I feel like I'm back at home country buffet, man It's very I think that's the original rush. What do you think it is? Why do you think they would decide to keep this one unchanged? I think it really is a testament to the genius behind the original recipe Like how good the original recipe. Yeah, you can't go wrong. I mean like it's beloved by everybody tomato chicken egg panini at KFC China guys Whoa, I put a finger on it. I can't quite like let me let me help you. Yeah, not that good Not bad. It's a little bland. No, no, it's not bad. It's not bad. It's just I don't know It's not doing much you guys. I'm looking at a beef burger right here. That looks I'm not gonna lie Just weird Piece of bacon the bacon in China always looks different. It looks closer. It's like a Canadian. Yeah, European bacon, right? Tastes like school much so overall review. Just would you get it again? I wouldn't but if you made me eat it And that was the only thing around I ain't gonna be mad. So you just said if you were starving Guys I have dude, I swear I have three different sauces in this because I have a white sauce Which is like a gravy you gotta try something out. Come on. I have I have the And then I have a barbecue sauce How's that blend? It's interesting. I like it. It's got a lot of stuff going on in there. You got a lot of flavors I'll tell you this the chicken was slightly different But not that different the burgers are Significantly different peaking dog chicken tender. I think immediately when you Google KFC China I think this is the first thing that pops up and obviously to Americans. They're like what they got peaking duck wraps at KFC China It's actually it's pretty delicious for my remember because then It's the Tianbian general that really makes now Tianbian Zhang you're talking about it says it's a sweet sauce Sweet beans, but it almost tastes like hoisin. It's very different than voicing actually boys in is kind of savory And this is just actually closer. Yes a sweet sauce in Beijing. They love sweet food Yeah, is this close enough to it to maintain the culture? I think it's great at Avenue of its own Yeah, right you gotta eat this for this. I don't think you're craving peaking duck. I Don't think people come to get this You know what I would compare this to is you know how a lot of people have kind of recreated bun knees with the Julian carrots and the daikons and you kind of have those elements in there and then you can kind of stick whatever new Fusion meat or like combination you want in there where you're taking like maybe 60% of the ingredients and the whole concept of it But you're just replacing the meat the pancake But you have cucumbers which gives you that nice crunch you have the Tianbian Zhang which is the sweet sauce and it does kind of taste like it we are down to our last two Dishes at KFC obviously we asked the side that we're gonna get to you know what significant Daniel about these two dishes Basically McDonald's has Exactly and nobody knows who's came out first McDonald's has an exact copy of this McDonald's has an exact copy of this Let's see How this matches up New Orleans style chicken sandwich Do you have a thoughts on this debate because they do have a similar sandwich at a similar price point? I've always thought this is a KFC so Have you had the McDonald's one the McDonald's one is delicious. They don't have only had the McChickens not their spicy chicken filet This sandwich at McDonald's is the best sandwich on that entire menu by far. That was pretty good, but my verdict is Not better than McDonald's that is more like an actual Piece of chicken off of a chicken. They just got shoved between two pieces of bread the McDonald's chicken is much more of a patty This was like really weird to eat like the piece is like thick in some places It's more natural. It did feel more natural Are you reminded of that your wings wing that you just had like there's plastic the problem is that has this like savory flavor But you can't identify what it is and that's why you associated with something I associate with chemical. Yeah, something bad Well, you know what I actually have the New Orleans one from McDonald's. I like it either Yeah, you know what they're both same in the way that I probably won't like so as you guys know Can you you can get corn at the KFC in America, right? I think one in the case in the sides is you get a cup of corn You don't get a corn on the cock. Yeah, you don't get corn on the cock. Do you think it's buttered up? Do you think it's flavored? No, actually, that's the that's just what's different about They actually just like the corn here like right juicy Hmm a little bit soft not considering it came out of the bag. I can't lie. That was much better No shade to the ones of convenience. I will say that that corn was a great palate cleanser. Yeah guys desserts I think for me, I select red bean pie as my choice of weapon. Wow It's really sweet. I did not expect it to be that beanie. I gotta give a 4.5 out of 5 here I have a egg tart. I would say this resembles more of the Portuguese style egg I heard KFC in China is actually famous for the egg tart. Oh Look at that crunch. The crunch is pretty good This dot-tot is fire. This is really good like though the crust is flaky But it turns chewy and it's sweet and eggy. Would you say it's restaurant level? Like some level. I would say it's better than a lot of dim sum spots. I give that a 5 out of 5 Let's take a look at this waffle It's actually pretty good imitation of a deleted waffle the waffle I'm not too much into the waffle because to be honest is there was no syrup. There was no whipped cream. Aren't you guys? final thoughts on China's Favorite fast food chain. Yeah, I mean I think KFC China is interesting because they actually like there's a huge effort to try to Make very gourmet items Accessible on a fast food level I like the peaking duck. Well, not just peaking duck, but like an egg tart Right, which is normally dim sum or a nice bakery. Well, I mean look at this box. I mean, it's clearly very shiny Look, right? Yeah, unlimited. There's what is that even supposed to mean? It's black. It's gold. It seems to Want to brand itself as a as a luxury fast food item almost when it comes to Western food items in China There's no limit to how luxurious they can push it whereas in America. There's some sense of like a man We're just blue-collar people some of the tastes are more built into identity Whereas here upward mobility is the identity. There is no Identified as a meat and taters type of person. I feel like people are like I can move up Let's do it. You know what I think captures the spirit of KFC here is the out and cover for the single Bad and bougie. This is really Hot girls sitting at this like high-end restaurant With like silverware China is just eating a cup of like top ramen I feel like that album cover really captures the spirit of the KFC in China It's fine. They tried to make something super Sort of fast foodie into like something like a little jury as I also I do think that to be honest There is a factor of this being a foreign food at the end of the day This is foreign food and will forever be foreign food in China Which? Kind of gives it more leeway to just do whatever it wants. Maybe I think it's also related to a Chinese market behavior There is a desire to want to spend money on items that represent What was your favorite item? I would say my favorite item was the Peking duck wrap, but I actually sleeper pick Chicken thigh over rice. Yeah, that chicken thigh was pretty Surprise surprise I'll start with my sleeper pick was the don top Delicious for actual food. It was it was actually the the Peking duck twister. I thought and it had a great Contrasting elements to it. I'm gonna go with my classic things. I think the peppercorn chicken fillet. Wow Low-key. Yeah, that's almost like the most Chinese-tasty thing. Yeah, purely Because they distilled the flavor out of the Sichuan like what's that called them? This younger generation of Chinese kids in China are gonna have Not the same options but in the big city and if they you know have a little bit of money They're gonna have a lot of the same options as the West and so I think it's gonna go in a cycle I think like in America how there's a huge fast food boom in the 90s And then it kind of turned more into the health wave organic things like fast casual That's kind of where it's headed and then with the health craze There's this whole like howlin rays spicy chicken sandwich wave, but but it's like boutique fast It's more in moderation like it's fried chicken still poppin But it's just a moderation so it's funny to see fried chicken be so hipster in America now But then fried chicken is still just like a staple of fast food and of everybody's life here And I think it's gonna go in a cycle I think you could you can kind of sense the health wave in China too in the big cities Yo guys, thank you so much for watching that video.
