what's a chicken congee?

good morning

my research into the where and why, or rather why not, one can obtain some fine KFC for breakfast continues. i have found that the KFC branches in China are somewhat more forward-thinking in this regard, as they appear to serve some form of breakfast at their branches :

Breakfast, Chinese style, at KFC
KFC is not the first Western fast-food restaurant to set foot in the breakfast market, but it's definitely the first one who tries to please its Chinese customers with Chinese-style breakfast food, like porridge.

Since Oct. 27, this appetizing Chinese food, together with many other choices, has been on the breakfast menu of all 59 KFC restaurants in Shenzhen. The stores have also changed their opening hours --- to 7 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. --- to reflect the new menu.

The breakfast choices are a blend of East and West, ranging from Chinese seafood and chicken congee, Hong Kong milk tea to Western burgers, potato sticks and orange juice.

The low prices are also appetizing. For example, a burger and a cup of hot tea or coffee is priced at six to seven yuan, and a Chinese-style porridge costs only five yuan.

KFC says they are studying the market to see if they should expand their breakfast menu to include more Chinese-style selections in the future.



i am not certain what "western burgers" involves, and this is not exactly a bucket of KFC with toast, but it is a step in the right direction. this does, it goes without saying, give me enough grounds to state an opinion pretty much as fact - whatever this chicken congee business is, then Elvis must be alive and living in China. the evidence is there pretty loud and clear in this article, and as i cannot think of any reason why one would not be able to obtain peanut butter in any Chinese town, city or market, Elvis is no doubt comfortable there.

sure, i appreciate that cadillacs are not the norm in China, but if the people of China are so blessed to have The King now living amongst them, then i am sure they have accomodated his transportation needs and have arranged for as many cadillacs as he needs. in the mean time, i will try and establish where exactly each and every branch of KFC is in China, and then do a google earth search or something on the locations in the hope of seeing the people of that fine nation having a KFC breakfast, as well as hopefully catching a glimpse of The King.

be very excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
