JOLLIBEE TASTE TEST - Vietnam vs. Philippines

Never tried jollibees nor heard about them😮 but now we will definitely try them when we're in the Philippines!😊

[@MarkAmanda]

You'll see them everywhere when you get there :) 💜Amanda

[@nomadicphilippinesvlogs7316]

Nice! I really miss Jollibee bacon champ burgers, but there "out of stock"half the time. Cant wait to get back to the philippines and vlog life ;)

[@MarkAmanda]

Champ burger??! What is that, it sounds amazing!

[@nomadicphilippinesvlogs7316]

You guys missed out, they do burgers kinda steamy style so normal burgers with vegtables like the Regular Champ Burger kinda go soggy and normally thats what every one trys and becomes not a fan. BUT the Cheesy Bacon Mushroom Champ is a perfect combo with the steamyness of it all (i get it with no mushrooms). Id say its the most overlooked and best thing on the entire menu, but ive never seen any other vlogger try out yet. Next time you guys will have to try it out ;)

[@donaldcollins7866]

The NYC Couple I've been a subscriber to his channel for a long time. Maybe your next time in the Philippines you guys could colab. Him and his wife Mitchie are cool. And you both have a talent for cinematics and editing. I know that they would be great guides for you. Even if you explore areas if the Philippines that they haven't been to yet.

[@MarkAmanda]

Cheesy bacon is right up our alley!! Definitely going to try this!

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks for the recommendation Donald! We'd love to collab on our next visit - we love meeting up with travelers and KZbinrs!

[@thursdaysaint]

I love it when Mark came closer to the menu board to point out what he wanted. hahaha

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha, that was the fastest way to let her know :)

[@jgarciabu]

Keep it up guys. Can't stop watching!

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you!! Don't worry, lots more to come :)

[@anh.pham.88]

that purple stuff was khoai môn, which is taro.

[@anh.pham.88]

or purple yam

[@MarkAmanda]

Ahhhh yess!! That's it! We had taro ice cream in the Philippines a lot, but couldn't remember the name. Thanks!

[@AkosiJeThro]

@@MarkAmanda its called UBE

[@levi123095]

Don't forget to try their sugar cane juice with lime. Super refreshing for a buck. They also have fresh fruit with crushed ice and condensed milk. That is their version of halo halo of the Philippines. These are served mostly in the evening ...pretty much street food.

[@MarkAmanda]

That sounds delicious! We'll have to try it next time! :) 💜Amanda

[@mrjackbilbo]

Cool video man keep em coming

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks Al!

[@followMichelleto]

Thumbs up before anything else, plus I love fried chicken so thumbs up is a must! my nice break from Vietnamese food in Hanoi was popeyes chicken haha it was made to order, had to wait 15 mins but it was worth it! never tried Jolibee though, thats on my list now😊

[@MarkAmanda]

Try it in the Philippines though... the chicken may be better than popeyes lol jk jk! Idk, it's been so long since we've had popeyes 💜Amanda

[@bashersbeware]

That was a fair assessment.

[@MarkAmanda]

Good to hear :) 💜Amanda

[@icedcarlo]

A little hack with ordering fries at a fast food, tell them you want salt on the side. 90% of the time they will give you freshly cooked fries. 👍🏼 I love the chickenjoy from Jollibee!

[@MarkAmanda]

Ohhh... Thanks for the tip ;) 💜Amanda

[@EdMadio]

that's purple yam, called ube in the Philippines, indigenous to the country. Actually the most popular yam in PH , and of the world I guess

[@MarkAmanda]

Ohhh good to know :) 💜Amanda

[@enelymg]

That’s probably a leftover batch from lunchtime. You should probably go during exact meal hours like 7am,12nn,6-7pm so the possibility of newly cooked food is higher.And always ask for gravy!😁

[@MarkAmanda]

Ohhh good to know! We'll have to try that next time! =D 💜Amanda

[@RobertFireLionBlueHawkWinkler]

Please pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is Jollibee?

[@MarkAmanda]

It's a fast food restaurant in the Philippines... more like THE fast food restaurant of the Philippines :)

[@nickdee1913]

Yes please go back to the Philippines 🇵🇭 maybe you can hangout with your relatives more. I’m interested to know what part your family is from or what is their dialect from that area. I can’t picture you guys ever going back to the grind, keep having a blast. 👏👌👍🇵🇭🇺🇸😎

[@MarkAmanda]

Some of my family may come to the U.S. to help take care of my grandmother - she's from Visayas and speak both Visayan and Tagalog. I don't wanna do the 9-5 again, but we've got some bills to take care of and need to save up a bit

[@nickdee1913]

Maybe one day you can vlog f/t and get paid like some others do on KZbin

[@cherylcarter9198]

Jollibee is fastfood . Unique in its own way. Gotta love that ube taro flavor! I'm Visayan too w/a splash of English Irish, Spanish Chinese hehee. Majority of Visayans are like automatically Spanish and/or Chinese . Keep Up The Great Travel Vlogs guys! So... w/all this traveling, would you marry in the US or out of US? Stay sweet , fun, & respectful to each other :)

[@MarkAmanda]

Out of the US! It's too expensive to get married in the states lol 💜Amanda

[@jdtisme5567]

I agree with Mark, totally reminded me of the canned spaghettios spaghetti. But even more sweet. The chicken was different between Philippines and Singapore also. Chicken was great in Philippines and not so good in Singapore. Chicken "burger" was terrible in Singapore! Hamburgers from Jollibee were crappy in both countries. Jollibee was absolutely worst food I had in Singapore, but it wasn't bad in the Philippines. McDonald's in Singapore was a BILLION!!!! times better than U.S., but didn't try McD's in the Philippines or Malaysia. Food in general in Singapore and Malaysia were INSANELY awesome!!! I'm not a foody guy really, but I love good food...haha

[@MarkAmanda]

haha - we're the same! We're not foodies, but we really eating it - can't say that we have specialized palettes or anything, but love to share our eating experiences with everyone. And we agree, Singapore and Malaysia had phenomenal food and the prices were awesome!

[@planetcraves6434]

going to the Philippines in 2 weeks and now I want to try Jollibee!

[@MarkAmanda]

you have to... and try their hotdog :) 💜Amanda

[@koenstravels282]

Mmmh this looks awesome :D

[@thwb4661]

The spaghetti is Filipino spaghetti and it's really not the same as Italian because Filipino spaghetti is intended to be sweeter than sour.

[@mhonferari]

I think all sorts of food in there jollibee Vietnam are Filipino cooked but the people who serve were Vietnamese. Jollibee specialties mostly fried chickens, spaghettis and crispy pata.. That's the hint to choose from!😁😁😁

[@MarkAmanda]

Spaghetti was not as good as it was in the Philippines lol. Overall it was all better in the Philippines

[@froggymedia1615]

I know I kinda late, just got time to watch this vlog. I think that purple pie is called Taro Pie and that meat pie is Curry-puff. Watching this makes me wanna go storm the KFC for the fried chicken. Anyway, beast!

[@MarkAmanda]

Yum! KFC chicken is always delicious! :) 💜Amanda

[@whatme1923]

some of their menu is different that we have in PH am i right??

[@mhedtellA]

Yesssss jollibeee PHILIPPINES! ❤️❤️❤️😂

[@MarkAmanda]

Gotta love Jollibee, but it just wasn't the same in Vietnam! We'll have to try it in the U.S. next!

[@bunnssgalore5407]

As of now, vietnam has at least 100 branches there which is the only country (except of course Philippines) that has more than 100 Jollibee branches.

[@peterpaul4779]

Dang Daniel the 40 year old couple back at it again!!

[@MarkAmanda]

For reallz!!

[@DutchNomadFamily]

Haha, the chicken just sounds crispy with a little 'honk' over it. Never been to Jollibee... Fun to see.

[@MarkAmanda]

hahaha, the Vietnam traffic noise just adds to the Jollibee experience :)

[@lischris8800]

Omg that meal looked so sad but your reactions to everything was hilarious! You guys should try Jollibee in all different cities haha

[@MarkAmanda]

Haha, yeah, looking back, I can't believe I tried to finish that pork sandwich thing!!

[@jamesvarabkanich415]

Oh my, you guys know how we love food, but this looks sad. Good you share though, appreciate your courageous tastebuds. We found pizza hut in china better. Pizza hut in china is really good, not at all like in the states. Travel safe :) Blessings, Kim and James seeUSoon

[@MarkAmanda]

Really!?! Pizza hut in China was good?! Wow, never would have guessed that, then again, we had Pizza Hut in Malaysia and enjoyed it there. It's funny how food can bring comfort sometimes during your travels! See you soon!

[@toninobenelli1419]

very nice

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you :) 💜Amanda

[@mbtravel7294]

The Jollibee in NYC is true to the original in the Philippines. Has the gravy with the chicken. 😋😋😋😋

[@MarkAmanda]

Ok, we'll have to try it when we get back :) 💜Amanda

[@MartinTabanag]

this is really nice! jollibee all the way hahah i wanna try vietnam's jollibee too hahah

[@MarkAmanda]

Do it! 😄

[@MartinTabanag]

The NYC Couple yes for sure! When i get to vietnam haha

[@allesor76]

Why its look not standard product same in d philippines...

[@shazx101x]

Woooooooo ❤️❤️

[@MarkAmanda]

Wooo wooo wooo!!

[@BigDaddy-yn5lh]

Bruh try to eat the food without comparing to food you eaten in your country,you should adjust yourself (your stomach) before you go to asia,thats the best tip i can tell to both of you,try to watch anthony bourdain how he adjust himself from America cuisine to asian cuisine.you will see what im talking about,sorry for my bad english ✌

[@MarkAmanda]

Your English was great! And we totally understand, that's why we put that part in the end where we said we don't expect food in Vietnam to taste like the U.S. and vice versa. The banh mi's in Vietnam will forever be better than the ones in the U.S.

[@sarvg7826]

Thats Ube Pie !! I had a lot of ube flavoured stuff in Philippines when I was there in January, like ice cream, pastries. It tastes good actually. But did not try Jollibee....

[@MarkAmanda]

Ube pie - one of my new favorites!

[@cool82yuan]

That's UBE Pie!

[@MarkAmanda]

That was delicious! I need an UBE hookup right now!

[@mailerdaemon2482]

Agree. Jollibee Vietnam is just okay.

[@MarkAmanda]

better in the philippines :) 💜Amanda

[@hyrocket]

JB is a franchise and seems it's not to JB standards or is it. time to eat more of JB, it's like that over your right shoulder 10:56

[@MarkAmanda]

Yeah, probably hard to maintain standards internationally - who knows, maybe we just caught the Hanoi location on an off day

[@lovsol0]

Honestly all fast food restaurants in vietnam are pretty bad... Lotteria, Jollibees, KFC for example. Pizza in vietnam is out of the picture since its not even pizza, just hard old bread, ketchup and processed cheese... Burger king is okay, i have not tried McDonalds here so i dont know about it. The only fast food that actually is good in vietnam is popeyes. I have been in vietnam for half a year and tried all of these multiple times so yeah..

[@MarkAmanda]

Good to know - next time we’ll just stick to local Vietnamese places

[@kharkovluzhin8333]

Ah yes the dancing bee who take over south east Asia

[@abbyng7822]

we dont have those flavored sodas and drinks here :(((

[@amristar736]

Did you cut your hair?

[@MarkAmanda]

He did... in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZvLmmCCiKeFp6c :) 💜Amanda

[@strahnbrad3979]

As a Filipino, I can say that Jollibee Spaghetti in the Philippines was way better in the 2000's.. Idk why it now tastes different. And i think the jollibee in vietnam has its spaghetti look like the way ph had it from before

[@defyme1464]

It's fast-food indeed!

[@franstains3373]

Good honest vid ! 😎 👍#81

[@MarkAmanda]

Thanks Fran! :)

[@malcolmsoh5648]

I think the purple filling is yam blog.junbelen.com/2010/05/25/purple-yam-why-filipinos-love-purple-sweet-treats/

[@MarkAmanda]

Yes, I think you're right :) 💜Amanda

[@norlelajaafar8773]

We don't have jollibe here...to bad.

[@MarkAmanda]

I'm sure it won't take long to work it's way over :) 💜Amanda

[@flipballer3475]

Jollibee Vietnam is lit

[@MarkAmanda]

It was alright, I gotta say the one in the Philippines was better man

[@flipballer3475]

Yea the original is from Manila.

[@iamnoone348]

IDK, just basing on the looks Philippine menu looks better.

[@nazfromqueens]

Ha! Where's the bahn mi! The jollibees in Queens (Jackson heights) is sht! We did like you and ordered a bunch of stuff and then got sick. Have u been to that one?? U should try just for comparison. Funny, people rave about this place and get mad when you dis it. Bonus points for your honest review😆 ~D

[@MarkAmanda]

No, we didn't even know they were in the states until we made the Jollibee video in Boracay. We'll have to try it when we get back :) 💜Amanda

[@gianluca524]

Lol who got offended by calling Jollibee as fastfood? It's a freaking fastfood restaurant 😂😂

[@MarkAmanda]

haha, they're somewhere in our original jollibee video 💜Amanda

[@Princess-rq7wk]

Philippines 🇵🇭 The original 😍😍

[@rheyzonalgordo6726]

Hi nyc how you compared the jollibee here in manila philippines and jollibee in Vietnam

[@MarkAmanda]

Phillippines Jollibee is better :)

[@Hey-dm7vo]

Maybe the chicken has to travel from the philippines

[@MarkAmanda]

hahaha, I think you're right :)

[@shynne3789]

Random korean conversation around @ 7:15

[@v.t1947]

Like dude you came to VN and Eat Fast food like wut ?

[@defyme1464]

Why do you think the bee is jolly? Hehehe

[@MarkAmanda]

LOL you crack me up 💜Amanda

[@defyme1464]

The NYC Couple hahaha

[@fieljr]

In kuwait jollibee aint that good compare to Philippines :(

[@abbyng7822]

jollibee looks so much cooler in vietnam wth

[@tinamarple2511]

PURPLE IS UBI

[@MarkAmanda]

Thank you! 💜Amanda

[@bjf5151]

Filipino spaghetti is typically sweet..mark you should know this.. You are suppose to eat chicken with rice..omg😭😭😭 Mark Filipino blood ..we dont waste food

[@MarkAmanda]

Nope, he will never waste food... unless it's olives. he hates olives :) 💜Amanda

[@thirdbalaguer646]

Philippines is better because its the original home of jolibee

[@wayfaringshaman]

Now I don't like Vietman. In fact, I hate all the countries where the Jollibee is not really Jollibee.

[@SuperLuckygirl100]

Your wife look like Meghan Markle.

[@jaives050]

Video somewhat irritating,not entertaining.To all subscribers better to unsubscribe to this and look for educational and entertaining contents.

[@Tu-kw4zx]

Jollibee is over hype. I tried once, never again. Dry ass chickens, food taste weird. I prefer Popeyes or Texas chicken 100 times better in Vietnam.

[@mileshillary_buendia4409]

love the philippine flag tatoo

[@MarkAmanda]

Mark was born in the Philippines... he's half ;) 💜Amanda
