The Growth of Fast Food in China
快餐在中国快速发展
In present-day China, we can find two types of fast food: western and
Chinese. However, not until the recent decade has western fast food become
popular in China. Before the first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese
food market, we had little idea about such terms as hot dog, pizza, potato
chips, let alone Kentucky and McDonald's. It is the reform and opening-up policy
that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and the
western countries.
Fast food, both Chinese and western, has several advantages. In the first
place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast. The food is always
ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This saves people's precious time,
and consequently goes well with the tempo of life in modern society.
Secondly, it is very convenient. As we know, fast food restaurants are much
the same as cafeterias. Customers may feel free to help themselves to any
variety provided and eat to their hearts'content.
Thirdly, fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable. Clean
dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people's
appetite to eat more.
The above-mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost all
parts of the country and enjoy popularity among people. That's also why nowadays
Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and Indian-Pakistani fast food have found
their homes in China.
As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as
lack of nutrition and dull taste. Nevertheless, these are minor points compared
with its advantages. Since most people agree with fast food, it tends to grow
rapidly in China.
