  • I'm still in London, and have decided to try a fast food place that isn't available round my way.
    I'm going to review Jollibee - a Filipino chain famous for their fried chicken!

    I am a Brit living in the Philippines, and we had Jollibee yesterday for our dog Lulu's 12th birthday. Her favorite words are "Chicken Joy". Filipino's love sweet sauces, which I am not keen on. Good quality food, glad you enjoyed most of it and would go again.

    Jollibee! I grew up in Hong Kong and remember them well from there and from visits to the Philippines on holiday. As a child having spaghetti with chopped hotdog sausages in a sweet tomato sauce with a piece of fried chicken on the side (one of their classics in the Philippines) was the height of exotic eating, simply because it was such a weird combination.

    Nice vid! Come to the Philippines sometime! :) I really hope they open a Mang Inasal back in the Uk, it could be the next main thing on evenings out. It’s a huge fast food chain here in the Philippines like Jollibee, but all based on “inasal” which is Filipino aromatic roasted chicken, as well as ihaw-ihaw which is sweet and savoury marinated pork bbq on bamboo skewers, with unlimited rice (attendants literally go around the restaurant with big vats of freshly cooked rice and you just ask them to top you up) for less than probably 5 pounds. Sisig (crispy fatty diced pork on a sizzling plate- typically a drinking food). Empanadas which are like exotic pasties, palabok (which is like a Filipino noodle version of spagbol) plus halo-halo (the Filipino multicoloured sundae crushed ice mixed type dessert with tropical fruits and purple ube ice cream). There needs to be a petition to open a Mang Inasal in the UK. I can see everyone loving it back there

    My wife is from The Philippines, and when the first Jollibee opened in Earls Court she was so excited she kept pestering me to take her there. We live closer to Cambridge than London, but I relented and we went. What a shock when we got there. There was a queue about 2 blocks long. I said no way was I going to wait for hours to get a piece of chicken. We ended up at Nandos.

    In the Philippines, you get given a number on a plastic thingy and the Jollibee staff bring your food to you. You don’t have to go collect it. However, it’s just as busy if not more so. Queues are long. The food is always sweet tasting, Filipinos love their sugar. A tip is to order your drink without ice, it is chilled anyways so why only get 1/3 of liquid when the cup is full of ice when you can get all liquid by just requesting no ice when you order. How I know this? I retired to the Philippines…..

    Im another brit living in the philippines .. I would say Jolliebee when I first came to the country was for me personally the best as when my wife got me from Manila my first meal was a Tuna pie and chicken joy.. after 19 hours flight... It has decreased in Quality over the years personally for me.. but I still love to get it once in a while .. as far as the pricing a lot cheaper in the Philippines then in UK i feel paying 16 quid bit of a rip off.. Its usually quite busy in the resturants here but its generally the time of day... I know a lot of visitors will be Filipino as they are possibly over seas workers and there proud of the country and thay have every right to be ... good video

There where 2 flours with guest rooms all up to date with on suite bathrooms. It was very up to date. A lovely place. But they worked us to hard and that is why I left .

    Jollibee have two other branch in Earl's Court, London and Reading. Their fried chicken are better than KFC. They have two types Chickenjoy meal deal . One is ordinary and the other is spicy. I had spicy Chickjoy meal deal of two pieces of chicken, sticky rice and gravy with a soft drink. You can have fries or spaghetti as a side with the Chickenjoy.

    For fast food it looked solid. That gravy might have passed the drink test. Did you get your meal quickly and would it have been cheaper to just get it takeaway(often places have different prices if you eat in)? Noise level and how busy it was would have been a hard no for me.

    Literally in the middle of London a hot-dog for 3 quid, amazing?! One slightly bigger in O2 with fries was £15 when I went their a few years ago! I didn't buy one, just saw the price! The chicken certainly looked less greasy than KFC. Looks like Reading is the nearest one to me, would make the hotdog expensive, lol!

      anyway the chicken piece was flavourless, no spicyness (i hear they run out of spice often) i don't wan't f***kn rice but they gave me 3 cups of bland white rice with everything i threw all the rice in the rubbish, then the 3xyum yum burgers were the most disgusting burgers i've ever had, nothing but a telescopic piece of beef patty with some sort of sugary bread bun, wtf if i wanted a donut i would have asked for one.
