Finally got to try out Jollibee's after reading great things about it. Although I was wary not to buy into the hype too much. How spectacular could a fast food place be after all? The answer is that it wasn't amazing, wasn't bad, somewhere in between.
As others have said they run a very organized and efficient operation. They must've had at least 15 people working from what I saw. At 9pm on a weekday I only had to wait 25 minutes. Much better than the hours and hours others have mentioned waiting when they first opened. They are more costly than your typical fast food joint.
The food:
Fried chicken (spicy) was tender, juicy, and had a nice kick of heat. The batter was light and it wasn't too crispy.
Aloha burger was a bit on the salty side but the slice of pineapple in there helped balance it out. The patty size was similar to that of a quarter pounder. Tasty burger overall.
Spaghetti had nice flavour (some sweetness to it) but I didn't particularly like the meat. It was slices of processed meat, almost like hot dog. The texture of the spaghetti was slightly hard and brittle.
Mango peach pie was great. The dough was perfectly golden and crispy. The filling was (not overly) sweet, warm, fruity goodness.
Pineapple juice was sweet and refreshing. Washes down the food nicely.
I wouldn't go out of my way or wait hours to come here but they do have different food choices (e.g palabok, burger steak) that you don't see in most other franchise fast food places.
