[quote=ROGERINCA,249967]The price rise in the PRC does not shock me at all.  Food prices, overall, have been rising within China over the past year.

Moreover, even in my home city here in California, the price has risen in the past couple of months.  A Big Mac, is now $2.95 (more than 22 RMB) for the burger alone, not the combination meal.  That is still quite a bit more than the same item in China.  There was a special show on CNBC here in the USA last month which focused on the McDonalds expansion into China.  Their goal is to expand the number of stores by many thousands in the next few years.  In fact, they have partnered with SinoPec and will have options to open smaller take-out stores in conjunction with the gasoline stations.

It is difficult to find a really good burger (US style) in China.  So when I get the need for a ‘fix’ of a cheese burger, I lower my standards, and I hit the local McD’s in my Lao Po’s community maybe once each week; much to the delight of our daughter.

I have no regrets, however, about not being able to find a great burger in the PRC.  All of that fine ethnic food that I enjoy in China (Cantonese is still my favorite) is always missed even more than that burger was, when I am back home in America. :)
