Tang En Dou Le: Dunkin' Donuts in China

I never go to Dunkin' Donuts. I think the coffee tastes like sweet potatoes. But Jenn Abelson's story today about the chain's expansion into China makes me want to go. In Shanghai, that is, where Dunkin' just opened. It's because of this photo.

Those are mochi ring doughnuts. Abelson writes: "Dunkin' staff experimented with foods with a local twist, like mochi rings, chewy treats made of glutinous rice that are fried in oil, and marinated lamb sandwiches. They worked for months to perfect the right color, sweetness, and texture of the green tea latte, a concoction with the thickness and color of pea soup."

That sounds great! Much better than egg and cheese biscuits and Coolatas.
