Question 1

The last time I ate fast food was about 2-3 months ago. I had KFC's seasonal crispy and hot chicken. It was delicious and I really hope that they consider making it a permanent item on their menu!

Question 2

I rarely eat fast food but I think I eat KFC the most compared to all of the other chains. I love their crispy fried chicken and crushers. I probably treat myself to KFC only once every few months as I prefer eating homemade foods that will surely benefit my health in many ways.

Question 3

My mom didn't really allow my sister and me to eat junk foods as they're perceived as being very unhealthy and questionable in Indonesia. There was a documentary that showed what's going on behind the scenes of one of Indonesia's biggest fast-food chains, KFC. It turns out that they rarely change the oil that is used for deep frying the chicken. I was dumbfounded to see how black the oil was!

Question 4

One of the very first chains that I visited in Australia was that of Red Rooster. It was exciting as I've never seen a service so fast and efficient! Subway was also a unique experience for me as it was the first fast-food chain that I thought was healthy and fresh.

Question 5

In Japan, I think Freshness Burger is the healthiest option when it comes to fast-food. The least healthy option would probably be McDonald's as I've heard some unpleasant stories from my friends who've worked there before!

Question 6

I think Gyoza no Ohsho has changed over the past several decades. They have changed their interior and menu designs. I think with their current business model. they will survive for a long time even when new competitors come to the fast-food scene. They are in fact one of the only restaurants in Ubereats (Kyoto) that is constantly getting orders and maintain an excellent review.

Question 1

I ate lunch at Sukiya with my family last Sunday. We had gyu-don. I had kimchi in my beef bowl, with miso soup and salad. It was good. It had been a while since we ate there because of the coronavirus. I prefer Matsuya, but I haven't seen one since moving to Nara.

Question 2

I rarely go to fast-food restaurants. We sometimes go to Mos Burger when we are shopping at the Don Quixote plaza. A cheeseburger I guess. They advertise that their beef is 100% Japanese. I think that it's a little expensive.

Question 3

Never. We didn't have any fast-food restaurants in my town and my mother always cooked delicious food. There is another reason. See ensuing question #4.

Question 4

I was about eight years old. My family was away on a Sunday. My mother and I went to church. After we would usually have a family dinner, but it was just my mother and I. We went to a McDonalds that had just opened in my town. My mother tried to find the healthiest choices. She chose a filet-o-fish set with milk for a drink. The milk wasn't cold and the sandwich tasted very fishy. My mother didn't eat anything and said that she wasn't hungry. I went home and took a nap because I felt tired. I woke up feeling very sick and threw up. I had to go to the hospital to have an IV. I never went back to McDonalds after that experience. The next time that I ate McDonalds was 28 years later when I moved to Japan.

Question 5

I think that gyu-don restaurants are healthy. We have rice, onion, beef, salad and miso soup. I think that KFC is the least healthy. We eat fried chicken, biscuits with honey, cole slaw with mayo and drink soda.

Question 6

The Mcdonalds near me usually has a shrimp burger or teriyaki burger which are items that you would never see in America. McDonalds will always remain open because it is the largest fast-food chain in the world. I recommend Shake Shack in Shinsaibashi. It is a New York burger chain that uses the best ingredients and cooks everything perfectly. They have special sauces for their burgers, yummy crinkle cut french fries and delicious milkshakes.

Question 1

I ate KFC last week. I've recently been craving KFC a lot recently. I got some original chicken and spicy chicken. I think it was really delicious but I wish they gave me more leg parts.

Question 2

Recently, my husband and I don't go out so much to eat because of covid-19. But I probably go to McDonalds a lot because I can get a quick snack from there. We also like going to Bikkuri Donki, the food tastes fresh and there are plenty of vegetables.

Question 3

My parents didn't really limit us from eating at fast food restaurants. We just didn't go so often because there were many other more interesting restaurants to go to.

Question 4

The first time I can remember going to a fast food restuarant was when I would go to McDonalds with my grand aunt. She liked to bring my cousins and I to work with her, and if we've been good, she'll treat us out to a happy meal from McDonalds. I don't really remember what I would order, I just remember how much fun it was to pick out a toy I wanted and playing with it with my cousins.

Question 5

I think for burgers, Freshness Burger or Mos Burger is the most healthy. McDonalds is definitely the least healthy but it's so addictive! But, I think that doesn't matter, you don't eat in a fast food restaurant to be healthy anyway.

Question 6

McDonalds always has a new item every month. It's usually a new burger or a new McFlurry. Of course, I think McDonalds is going to stay successful for many MANY years to come.
