You can have porridge as breakfast at McDonald's in China?

Each country has its own variety of breakfast cultures. Nowadays, Korea has become Westernized, but Koreans used to eat something called soft porridge, 'Nu-rung-ji', in the morning. and I used to eat packed 'Kim-bap' and warm tea in the morning, but now more people eat sandwiches, croissants, and coffee for breakfast in korea.

China has also been opening up its culture a lot and more people are eating coffee and bread in the morning, but Chinese people still like their breakfast culture. And I admire the Chinese people who do not abandon their culture and develop and commercialize it by melting it.

In China, healthy food is developed like Korea, and Chinese people consider eating more important than Koreans. The Chinese consider eating well, selecting and eating food to be the most important virtue of protecting the body. For example, in the summer, they don't drink cold drinks that make their teeth are cold. Guangzhou is a hot place with two-thirds of the year above 30 degrees in subtropical climate, but people don't drink cold beverages, including water. Rather, drink warm water. Many foreigners do not understand at first time that China, especially when they visit the South and ask for water at a restaurant, and chinese serve hot water or tea.

Even I couldn't understand this culture at first, but now understand. As we know, Chinese food is mostly greasy, so drinking cold drinks will be harmful. Warm tea will help break down and digest the oil. And drinking continuously hot/warm or room temperature water cools the body. In this way they seem to endure the heat of the South. When I first came to Guangzhou, I turned on the air conditioner even if it was 27 degrees. When I went to the massage shop and saw massagers giving massage without turning on the air conditioner at 29 degrees, I cursed thier owner a lot in my mind. It's this hot for me to lie down and get a massage, but how hot is it for people who work? I felt sorry for those who worked in poor conditions.

Anyway, at the advice of my Chinese friends, I and my family drank water at room temperature. Before long we understood the meaning with our bodies. In the early days when I came to China, my stomach was constantly cold, indigestible and uncomfortable, and that feeling disappeared. And my son, who kept having an upset stomach, had no stomachache. And when the temperature was lower than 30 degrees, it felt cool without turning on the air conditioner. If you have to live or travel in China and especially in the South, drinking room temperature water, if not hot water, and enjoying not drinking too cold drinks will help you in many ways.

Back to the various breakfast stories, so the Chinese drink healthier drinks rather than coffee in the morning. For example, Soy milk, corn juice, red bean juice, etc. and the drinks they drink are warm. And eat it with light food such as dim sum or jian-bing. It is common to see people buying drinks and food on their way to work and putting them in plastic bags. If you take a walk in the morning, you will be able to open temporary stalls in many places, including street stalls, temporary food carts, fast food restaurants, neighborhood stores, roadside restaurants or cafes, and underground shopping malls that serve restaurants during the day, starting around 7 p.m. and offer a variety of breakfast foods.

You can eat porridge in the morning at McDonald's in China?

McDonald's 8:30 a.m. Morning set with porridge

Today, I will introduce McDonald's breakfast set among various Chinese breakfasts. Fast food franchises localize the taste of hamburgers, the degree of carbon dioxide in cola, while McDonald's in China localized China's breakfast culture.

If you visit McDonald's in China in the morning, you can experience porridge and you-tiao, one of the Chinese breakfasts. Of course, you can experience street food and restaurants in the morning, but it would be a cultural experience to experience how fast-food companies localized China's morning culture.

Zhou' means porridge in chinese. Although each McDonald's branch has a slightly different business hours, they usually offer many kinds of morning set from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., along with a different kind of morning set that includes porridge. The menu also varies as shown in the picture below. You can also order face-to-face at the store or through an order machine, but you can easily order through WeChat or an McDonald's app, so people order in advance on their way to work and visit them right away. It is a common scene in the morning at McDonald's.

There are also many type of porridge with fermented eggs or suancai on the menu, but I chose porridge with eggs without difficulty. And added fried eggs. The fried eggs were less oily than I thought. It was more like a boiled egg. The porridge was not too salty and was edible. I ate all. It was fried tofu that was given separately to add to the porridge. It's okay to buy it on the street, but I recommend McDonald's breakfast, which is cool and comfortable to sit down at a reasonable price, to students or those who go on a backpacking trip to china. The price of the soup varies from 5 yuan and can be ordered as a single unit, or with other drinks or menus.

McCafe recently opened at McDonald's near my house and will hold a monthly 1+1 event in June. With 100% arabicer coffee, you can try coffee made by a professional barista. I tried it too, it tasted fresh and savory coffee. In order to increase store visits and sales after Corona, they continue to promote hygiene and carry out various promotions. I don't recommend fast food, but the morning culture of China that you experience in fast food will also be meaningful.
