Jollibee - How's the signature food at this popular Asian fast food restaurant?

Jollibee is an acclaimed fast food restaurant in Asia and has quite a following in the Philippines.  There was a location in St Petersburg Florida where I was staying.   I could try this place without using my passport. 


You're greeted by Jollibee him or herself!! Would I "get it"?


Decent fried chicken.  Crispy and moist.  I got the two piece  original recipe and there wasn't any seasoning I could detect other than salt and pepper.  If that is all it is supposed to have them it was a success.  But fried chicken should have some additional seasonings in the coating.  If I returned, I would try the "spicy" version.


The Jolly Spaghetti was okay but reminded me too much of the canned Franco American spaghetti I had growing up.  Right down to the sweet sauce and sliced miniature hot dogs.  Again it needed some sort of seasoning.  

The chicken was served with a pretty good chicken gravy which I used for dipping.  First time I had seen that served with fried chicken that didn't come with mashed potatoes.  


Glad I tried this place since I have only read about it's popularity in Asia - specifically the Philippines.  The food was good but not sure I need to return.  I didn't "get it".
