KFC adds shaobing to set menu

The history of shaobing (sesame seed cake), a traditional Chinese snack, could be traced back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). It is a round toasted cake with sesame dotted on the surface.

During the past few years, it was rare to see vendors peddling shaobing along the streets in cities, but the snack has now made a comeback of sorts.

Global fast food chain KFC has decided to add the Chinese snack to the set menu of its restaurants in China.
