Shanghai Donut Dreams

According to Reuters, Dunkin' Donuts is about to take on the Chinese market, opening 100 new shops in Shanghai over the next decade. Apparently, the move will require a bit of retooling of the usual jelly-filled and chocolate glazed menu we're used to here in the States:

Dunkin's Shanghai shops will feature -- in addition to its regular fare -- items tailored for local tastes including honeydew melon doughnuts and mochi rings, which are similar to doughnuts but are made with rice flour.

We can only hope that the donut-wielding monolith ships spokesperson Rachael Ray over to Shanghai as part of the expansion plans. I'm sure she'll find the mochi rings "Yum-O!" while sitting by the Yangtze.
