Jollibee is a national treasure in The Philippines, and it is slowly taking over the world. I was lucky enough to find one in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I just HAD to have a bit. Was it any good? Let's find out!

To all the foreigners out there especially Australians who are out of their country to try Jollibee, don't go to the Philippines just to try Jollibee, Jollibee in the Philippines is experiencing what we call 'shrinkflation' the chicken parts are just busted ya'll, they include boney parts like the rib which is whack , the peach mango pie could not even get you satisfied, that's a fact.

@SashaPomeranian

That spaghetti is sweet primarily because it caters to Filipino children. ChickenJoy+gravy on rice=heaven! 😊 They use local mangoes on that pie, so there's no tartness, floral or piney aftertaste that you get from foreign varieties. Local mangoes are mainly sweet.

That sweet spaghetti was styled after the US soldier's canned rations post WW2. It was a common gift together with Spam and Hershey's bars by GI's during courtship to the young Philippine lasses of that time. The whole family would share in the taste of the canned spaghetti and for them it was the quintessential American flavor!

@severedproxy

The lack of tartness of the mango might be due to the fact that the philippines have a variety of mangoes, the one used in the peach mango pie are sweet mangoes. I remember my ozzy friend who visited us here got a little surprised at how many types of mangoes we had. We have sour mangoes, sweet with a bit of tartness and purely sweet mangoes to name a few

Hi Bro, my daughter in law is from Philippines. My son loves gravy and rice and states its on another level. does the chicken taste like red rooster. Great review.

@5hy_for_Mahalima

I like your take on our spaghetti and thank you for being open minded. Most foreigners don't like it because it's sweet and it's "not Italian". Well hell yeah, because it's FILIPINO spaghetti, it is what it is. It is made for the children because kids love sweets.

@timduvall4910

While the food may taste almost the same, the prices are nowhere near the prices in the Philippines. The spicy chicken sandwich @

There are a couple of Jollibee's in Italy. The purist italian must not like it like it but Jollibee do not claim their spaghetti it as Italian spaghetti but filipino.

Hey mate, thanks for sharing, Jollibee. As a Filipino who now lives in Australia...I am dying to have Jollibee here even in any state!

@MarisTinyHouse

I was surprised you said you did not taste any mango "tartness", and I immedietely asked myself, "Why did he say mangoes are tart?" If you haven't tasted Philippine mangoes, you are in for a huge surprise. In the Philippines, the mangoes are sugary sweet. If you want the sour mangoes, you have to eat the green, unripe ones.

@ChoweyChoo

Damn. Your peach mango pie is what it used to look like here in the Philippines. Now its serving size looks like it's only a third of what you got 🤧

@prgibson1

Ahh, good to see the ol' JFC has made it to Scotland here uh Sack. Gravox looked pretty watery on reveal and that spag bog 'n foul looks like a usual delivery driver version tipped on its side. and seems to me a bit of a weird combination, espesh with the dawg addition.. Will be interesta to see if it comes downunder to tantalise our sweet tooth

@SuperShitforbrains

Well interesting video there Food Sack . Scotland is a interesting place to visit and keep up the awesome work to

@RodSwansmad

There is a Jollibee in Hawaii , we seen it but it was not on our radar to try it. The spaghetti and chicken is a weird combo but according to my Filipino YT friend they love it. You certainly enjoyed all of it 😋 There was talk of Jollibee landing in Campbelltown NSW some years ago but nothing yet.
