Prices in China are not expensive, they are very cheap in comparison to Australia.
$1 in Australia is like about $6.4 in China. I China, ordinary restaurants charge about 10-20 Chinese yuan for each dish, (prices vary a lot depending where u are. In tourist districts, they are often FAR more expensive). Chinese restaurants in Australia charge like $10-15 for each dish. so yeah, a lot cheaper.

Lower class restaurants (e.g. small shabby looking restaurant on the side of road). charge like 5-10 yuan for each dish.

Also depends on what dishes u choose. Some foods can cost like 1000yuan.

U can get a bowl of noodles for usually around 5-10 Chinese yuan.

So yeah, with the same price ur paying for a full meal at Macdonald's, u can get like 5 dishes in a poo poo restaurant, or get 5 bowls of noodles. U can't do that in Australia. And that's what i mean by western fast food being comparatively more expensive in China. Comparative is the key word. Id u look at it absolutely, both is cheaper in China. (note it's different with eastern fast food, such as noodles, dumplings, rice+stuff... It's the "western" bit that makes it expensive.)

How the hell do u make fake eggs/watermelon... the only thing related to watermelons and eggs I've heard are people coating watermelon with sugar water to make poo poo watermelon taste good.

But on the other hand, I've heard of some pretty bad stuff about meat.

Is this for a western restaurant? I don't really go to western restaurants that often, and often when i do, it's by invitation, so i have no idea how they charge. But i don't think they're that cheap.
