This video documents Jimmy Kim's exploration of fast-food franchises in Shanghai, China. He begins with McDonald's, noting the availability of an English ordering option and trying the Ultraman-themed burger, fries, and a hojicha macflurry. The burger, with its sweet and juicy beef patty and uniquely Chinese-spiced ham, is a standout. The fries, while crispy, are deemed a bit too thin. The chicken wings, though visually distinct, lack juiciness. A second McDonald's burger is less impressive, lacking the flavorful spice of the first. However, the sweet and spicy chicken tenders prove to be a delightful surprise.
Next, Jimmy visits KFC, the most popular franchise in China, ordering via a mobile app. He samples a shrimp taco (despite a shrimp allergy, with no reaction), finding the fried chicken juicy and subtly spicy. The burger features the same flavorful chicken. The fries are similar to McDonald's, but less salty. A baked chicken option is drier. The red bean pie lacks sweetness, and the panda egg tart, while good, has a dense marshmallow that detracts from the overall experience. The shrimp taco emerges as a favorite, with its spicy, well-seasoned chicken.
Jimmy then tries Do, a popular Chinese fast-food chain. The black fried chicken is a revelation—juicy, incredibly crispy, and boldly spiced. A regular fried chicken is less impressive. The fries are thicker and more premium than McDonald's. A black fried pork dish, while decent, pales in comparison to the chicken. The lemonade is deemed too sour. A rice burger is underwhelming, with insufficient chicken, while a chicken sandwich is good but not exceptional. A curry rice dish is enjoyable, with a Thai-style curry and crispy chicken. A tayyaki dessert is described as having a gooey, deep-fried texture, heavier than its Japanese counterpart.
Finally, Jimmy visits Shake Shack. While not offering unique Chinese items, the avocado shake is creamy and delicious, and the avocado bacon hot chicken burger is excellent, though expensive. The fries are dry. A mango shake, while sweet and fruity, is less enjoyable than the avocado shake. The spicy chicken is juicy and luxurious, with flavorful buns. In his final ranking, Do takes the top spot due to its exceptional black fried chicken, followed by Shake Shack, KFC, and McDonald's.
