Asian McDonalds Products in Germany and also in China?

McDonalds Germany just started their TV and Radio Campaign to promote their Asian Products, that are released due to the Olympics as McDonalds is one of the sponsors. I’m wondering if there are other Countries lucky enough to get a Beef Lang Tzu or Shrimp Lemon Burger. Trying to find out what “Lang Tzu” could mean in Chinese I learned that Tzu doesn’t exist in Pinying, the writing of Chinese language with western letters. So why would McDonalds want to fool us with a “fake” word? Or - by doing so - did McDonalds develop a fine sense of irony. I don’t think so but I would have appreciated it.
Anybody out there a victim of McDonalds Olympia Specials too? I haven’t found anything particularly interesting in Shanghai so far.

It’s a play on words. “Lang Tzu” sounds like “Lang zu!” in German, which means “take it” or “help yourself”. So it definitely IS a “fake” word. :)
