so normally when i’m in the hong kong airport i’m either arriving in hong kong or leaving hong kong. its not often that i transfer through chep lap kok.
and even when i do – its a time when i’m longing for char siu rice or something or other hong kong related. but this time i got this huge craving for popeye’s fried chicken.
when i was growing up, all of the popeye’s chicken franchises were located in, let’s just say economically disadvantaged areas. while i enjoy a good fried chicken from time to time, its not as central part of my fast food diet as burgers or sandwiches. so i never really felt the need to go enjoy chicken cajun style.
it was when i first moved to houston in 2002 that i discovered the wonders of red beans and rice, cajun style mashed potatoes and of course the fried chicken that popeye’s became my most trust brand name in fried chicken. so when i saw the outpost in chep lap kok hong kong international airport, i knew i had to go back. alas, the chicken was lukewarm – and so, were the mashed potatoes and the whole meal was kind of a waste of cholesterol and stomach space.

In Shanghai KFC is much more popular that Macdonald, they even had two outlet in the same building at Nine cloud mall in Chongshan park. Shanghainese or the chinese love chicken, If POPEYES chicken restaurant will to open in China, big market.
Hi Ronny, I’m not sure your suppositions are true. I’d agree that KFC is a lot more popular than McDonald’s in China, but I don’t think that carries over to Shanghai, regardless of there being two in Cloud 9 Mall. Anyways, I think without the support of Yum! Brands that KFC has behind it, Popeye’s wouldn’t be as successful. Also, Popeye’s cajun chicken is a little bit of a different taste.
