Liu, off topic i.e opposite of this thread, but when we traveled through eastern China 10yrs ago the most surprising menu item we found in restaurants of varying scale were french fries.   They were everywhere and usually better than what we find in the US.  Have they been common for a long time? Part of the fast food invasion?  

 

 

I cooked them for some young friends 20 years ago and they were baffled, but delighted. Although , they wanted to put sugar on them until I stopped them. But yes, shortly after that they became relatively common, led by KFC, then McD's.

Western food in China is as strange as Chinese food in the west!
