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".
