Jollibee Philippines | Food at Jollibee in the Philippines - Part 2: Traditional Filipino Food

First Things First

In the first part of this three-part series, Food at Jollibee in the Philippines - Part 1: Traditional American Food, we explored how the food at Jollibee is so so similar to fast food in America. Now we present the other side of the coin, part of the fast food paradox that is known as the menu of Jollibee in the Philippines. It’s what makes it unique, stand out to its customers, and what makes it so memorable for those who visit the Philippines. At least it was the case for me.

Noodles

In Filipino culture, noodles are a signifcant part of the diet. Of course they provide necessary carbohydrates to power the body, in addition to symbolizing long life for the length of the noodle, but without noodles, there could never exist the amazingness known as the Jolibee Spagetti! Spaghetti in a fast food restaurant?! That’s right - but don’t knock it until you try it. This classic is a favorite among Filipinos, along with the Palabok Fiesta - which is the fast food version of Pancit Palabok - a traditional dish featuring palabok sauce, pork chicharon, pork, shrimp, and sliced eggs.

Rice Meals

Even more important to Filipinos than noodles is the most vital staple to most east asian countries: rice. You can basically eat rice with anything - even burgers. So why even mess with a silly bun of bread - just take the burger patty, throw it on some rice and add some special sauce. It’s so simple and yet so beautiful: the Jollibee Burger Steak rice dish. But wait, there’s more! We’re not simply limited to beef patty’s, but imagine this: a crispy chicken patty served over rice with the same magical sauce. That’s right, and now you have experienced all the mouth-watering deliciousness of the Jollibee Crispy Chicken Steak.

What Else is There?
