How it's used
While the brand name is officially 肯德基, locals often just refer to it as KFC using the English letters. It is common to hear people specify the food they are getting there, such as 葡撻 or 炸雞, rather than just saying the restaurant name. The brand is deeply integrated into local fast food culture and is a frequent choice for quick meals.
