Guan, are you aware of regional variations in the KFC breakfast menu? The cifantuan (rice balls) and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are most popular in the east, so I wonder if they offer those in other regions.

The food delivery app was being annoying about location settings when I wanted to look up menus in various cities, so I asked a denizen of Beijing. I can confirm that your suspicions are correct: these breakfast options are not nationwide. KFC in Beijing does not have soup dumplings, but instead offers zhajiangmian (a Shandong wheat noodle soup). KFC in Liuzhou has luosifen (snail noodle soup) and Wuhan has reganmian (spicy dry noodles). This supports my theory that breakfast is more local than other meals.
