In China, wherever you see a KFC you can almost always find a McDonald's nearby, and often the stores are open 24 hours a day. I preferred KFC as do many Chinese people. I was told KFC is seen as more “Chinese”, but for me, I just thought it tasted better.
Picture menus are available, which makes ordering somewhat easier (but not always). If you can't see a menu laying around just hold your hands open like a book and the people at the register will give you one.
The buildings are often multi-story affairs and it is expected you will leave your garbage on the table when you are finished (no putting it away yourself!). As in the rest of China, tipping is considered weird.
Both restaurants focus on sandwiches and some items were familiar, like buckets of chicken, french fries (served at both restaurants), and quarter pounders. Other things were wholly unfamiliar to me. For breakfast you can get congee, a rice porridge with bits of egg and meat mixed in:
or a pastry (like a croissant but square) containing a fried egg, ham, and a salty mayonnaise:
For lunch KFC served a beef wrap of some kind that came with a chicken wing:
The food tended to be spicier than what is served in America, and the only thing I can say against it is that it sometimes had a little too much mayonnaise, but you could always scrape that off.
