Tips

usage

Two competing renderings of 'New Orleans': 纽奥良 (Taiwan/Hong Kong style — phonetically tracks 'Nyu-O-ree-ang') and 新奥尔良 (mainland style — translates 'New' as 新 + transliterates 'Orleans'). KFC's 'New Orleans' marinade is universally 纽奥良 across Greater China, regardless of region.

culture

Beyond geography, 纽奥良 in Chinese is forever tied to KFC's 纽奥良烤翅 — the spicy-sweet roast wings that became a Chinese KFC staple in the 2000s and arguably outsell their American originals.
