mmm! halo halo :)
Came to this area on the Eastside one evening at Maryland Pkwy looking for a boba place. When I saw Jollibee I knew I wanted halo-halo instead! what? can't a girl change her mind? LoL! For those unfamiliar with the Jollibee restaurants they are a Philippines-based chain known for its burgers, fried chicken, spaghetti & Filipino dishes. But we didn't have any of that I mentioned, instead, we had halo-halo and it was delicious! Not all halo-halo are made equally... some do not taste as good.
The fast food restaurant is right next to the Seafood City grocery market with the 'bee' greeting you at that entrance but it also has its own entrance from outside. Just like any fast food place you walk up to the counter and place your order and your receipt # will be called when food is ready. The staff was friendly and someone kept the dining area clean at all times.
We came on Thanksgiving evening... it was around 9:00p and the place was packed, young and old! wth... no one cooked turkey that day and decided to eat at Jollibee? Anyway, a couple of seats down from us there was this cute little girl, I'd say she was around 5 years old and, well, you know, Filipinos love to sing... she was singing the chorus line of
Havana, ooh na-na (ay)
Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ay, ay)
... then my mind kept singing that song all night after we left :)
