I'm not sure what the M stands for... Manchurian Fried Chicken?
Even the colonel hasn't escaped a good copying.
Against my better judgement I tried one of the burgers but somehow managed to order a vegetarian patty, though the burger did have an egg on it so I guess at least there was something chicken based.
I love how they have modified the Colonel to meet the local culture.
ReplyDeleteit could stand for mutha fuckin chicken. trust me im chinese
ReplyDeleteLol!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap..! Hilarious..!
ReplyDeleteSurprised that KFC hasn't cracked down considering its massive presence in China.
Where was this? Guangzhou?
Hang on. That second one has an uncanny resemblance to John Howard does it not?
ReplyDeletechief or chef? :p
ReplyDeleteIt must be Mao Fried Chicken - the Colonel is the great chief
ReplyDeleteDaniel - yep, MFC's in Guangzhou. And apparently it's a chain. As you say, it's surprising that it hasn't been cracked down on because there are plenty of KFCs around Guangzhou too.
ReplyDeleteNice one Dennis, Mao Fried Chicken, let's go with that for the name. :)
LOL hilarious!
ReplyDeleteIn Bangladesh (where I'm from) we have a "Dominous!"
Ooh, "Dominous" sounds delicious! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your lovely blog post Leia.
I've been to an MFC! It was hilarious. Everything is copied, down to the posters on the walls (which are badly photoshopped to remove the KFC products that MFC doesn't sell.) It's like a cross between a McDonald's and a KFC, and I believe MFC stands for Making Fried Chicken.
ReplyDeleteLived in China for a year and we also referred to it as Mother Fing Chicken.
