There's a sh!t ton of OFWs around the world, and seeing a Jollibee makes us feel nostalgic and miss our families in the PH. Jollibee is a huge part of the Filipino culture. It is more than just a fastfood and their "corporate strategy". We celebrate birthdays, achievements, and recognitions in Jollibee when I was a kid. This place would always have a special place in my heart.

[@xeanluxcrille6847]

Yeah, you can say it's the corporate representative of Filipino food and culture. I worked outside Ph for only a year and half and I craved Jollibee so much. Before then, I thought it was an exaggeration, but no, I was proven wrong. OFWs who grew up in PH will always miss Jollibee, even if it wasn't exactly their favorite food chain. It's like missing your family, your hometown.

Normal fast food thing, I'm a Filipino and surely tried McDonald's in the Philippines, been in Thailand and tried theirs and now currently living in Sweden and definitely tried theirs as well. The thing is, only in the Philippines you'll see McDonald's serving rice with chicken, in Thailand they don't. Here in Sweden they have Spicy cheese shots and Spicy Wings. The point is, you don't serve your original menu to the whole world, because we have different taste buds and group of foods that we grew up with. So, i'll say it's a job well done for Jollibee as well.

[@harveycustodio2625]

All Fast Food Chains have to do that as well, since not all the menu items might stick with the locals. All Fast Food Chains here in the country like McDonald's, KFC, Popeyes, and even Pizza Hut here in the Philippines have Rice, and McDonald's have something similar to Jollibee's Burger Steak with Rice Meal. And along with KFC, McDonald's also serve Spaghetti. In the Philippens Dairy Queen only sells, Frozen Treats and Cakes, no Burgers, no Drinks, no Chicken, just Ice Cream and Cakes.

Jollibee is definitely worth the hype! It's got the best fast food fried chicken that I've had, it's consistent, they've got a decent menu (I'm in Canada) but the menu on the west coast of the US is substantially larger and looks better haha. This might trigger people but their take on spaghetti is the best and most flavourful I've had. Better than the traditional Italian spaghetti.... I said it. The peach mango pie is awesome and the pineapple juice literally goes with everything on their menu. It's just a very tasty meal. And their gravy, oh their gravy is one of the best I've had. I heard a rumour that in the Philippines, they drink as is. I tried it and let me tell you, if you can chug gravy down, you're doing something right.

@John Smith plabok? Can you describe to me? Thx

[@JadeMythriil]

@@reeboksboiz1266 its a rice noodle dish with a savory shrimp sauce that can be a bit salty, but mix it with calamansi, a small, very sour, unripe citrus, and it just balances the saltiness so well giving you this sour but savory flavor.

Jollibee is really something else for us Filipinos it's a childhood and brings families together and for some Americans I think it's the joy of the deliciousness of the experience is what makes them love it that's why it's called Chickenjoy because when you bite it millions of taste is happening in your mouth and it's like euphoric like serotonin of feeling that's makes tou happy

[@ALP-md6vo]

This is my comfort food, a sort of reward to myself every pay day when I was in Saudi. Missing it! Hope I could get a bite of this now that I migrated here to the US.

What I like most about Jollibee's chicken is that it's not overly battered. Other rival fried chicken like Popeye's (my former favorite) and KFC have very thick coating that it gets greasey, salty and soggy. The price is good too. My South African co-worker used to buy the combos for her family because they're good deals.

[@Vablonsky]

I remember the Jollibee fried chicken being very good. I need to get some soon to refresh my memory because it's been a looonggg time. And, I'll need a peach mango pie to complete the meal. Thankfully, we have two Jollibee locations in the DC area now. One just recently opened in Northern Virginia.

[@imeldarose6068]

There's so many Jollibee's here in the Philippines since kid I'd never get tired eating their Chicken Joy! I don't know why and also peach mango and tuna pies, palabok, spaghetti, cheessy bacon mushroom burger, crispy fries dippin with gravy is absolutely delicious and my ultimate favorite Spicy Chicken Joy 😊

[@DelightFools]

You don’t need to say that there are many Jolibees(no apostrophe needed) in your country as that’s where it was founded. It’s like saying there are so many McDonald’s and Wendy’s in Murica. Pointless obvious info right there.

[@grassrootsflshp]

@@DelightFools and you don't need to comment either if you don't like it. (There are also many McDos in the Philippines even if not founded necessarily there, point being 'MANY' is a numerical modifier that doesn't tell the exact number of what it modifies, only that it's a plural). The only thing you got right is the apostrophe lol. Other than that, you've got nothing but an "obvious" unsolicited thus unnecessary opinion.

Pure Filipino here from the Philippines. I grew up eating Jollibee's Chickenjoy. So surprised that even Americans love it. The skin is so crunchy yet tender at the same time. Also, the gravy is the best thing I've ever tasted. Jollibee, for me, is ten times better than McDonald's. McDonald's is also good because of their fries.
