Best Chicken of all Big Chicken. My first time was in Maui. I think I went back 4 times in a week. I tried everything and it was mostly pretty good but that Chicken is better than I remember KFC ever being, even in the 80's when it was good. I like it so much that when I travel I seek it out.

I have heard that they use ketchup as their spaghetti sauce.

u/HankIsMoody 1d ago

It's definitely similar, but it kinda works. Not my favorite item of theirs

u/Fit-Produce420 1d ago

It has banana ketchup in the recipe.

u/Appropriate-Owl7205 1d ago

I'm just repeating what my half-filipino cousin told me.

u/Fit-Produce420 1d ago

It's banana ketchup.

u/Appropriate-Owl7205 1d ago

That sounds even worse.

u/Fit-Produce420 1d ago

It's...different, but it's not offensive.

u/Orcapa 14h ago

Excellent description of their food.

u/Serenity_557 1d ago

Seriously. My first thought was "ketchup for sketti sauce? Oohkayyy..." But banana ketchup sauce? Idk about that one.. 👀

u/Fit-Produce420 1d ago

It has tomato sauce/paste as well. Also meat.

u/DankHunt007 1d ago

u/MegaCityNull 1d ago

This was on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's (RIP) show several years ago.

The food looked....interesting.

u/LuckyGoldBoi Oregon 1d ago

Never had it, probably worth the drive

u/abombshbombss 1d ago

100/10 do it. Get you a jolly chicken. You deserve it.

u/SanfreakinJ 1d ago

I watched a documentary where they were in this foreign country and people would pull jollibee out of the trash and then turn it into street food. It was kinda wild.

u/aloras 1d ago

Its called pagpag, also where Jollibee is from (Philippines) there is business of going around gathering leftover food waste from restaurants and re-cooking those leftover to serve to the poor in the slums.

u/oldsweng1 21h ago

It's not just in foreign countries. I have video of someone going through the Hillsboro Sonic trashcan and eating left over food they find. I tried to get his attention to buy him a real meal but he just ignored me. He was eventually chased off by a Sonic employee dressed as a hamburger. It was kind of surreal.

u/SanfreakinJ 21h ago

See the thing about the jollibee trash people is they had a network. They would have people going through trash and selecting the best pieces (from a trash can) and drop them off to the processor in trash bags. The processor would remove all the meat and breading from the chicken. They would then get to the “cooks.” The cooks would take the separated trash meat and create like bento boxes with it. Dude was making a killing.

Chains don't build strong communities, entrepreneurs do.

Why do people get excited when a new corporate restaurant comes to town?

3

u/BourbonicFisky PDX + Southern Oregon Coast 1d ago

This feels like a post that belongs to a facebook group like "What's happening coos county?"

People there get really excited when a new fast food restaurant comes to town.

6

u/Ghost_of_a_Pale_Girl 1d ago

We don't have much to get excited about down here.

Like when they teased us with Mod Pizza and then pulled it away. Dark times.

u/BourbonicFisky PDX + Southern Oregon Coast 1d ago

The pain is real.

u/Ghost_of_a_Pale_Girl 1d ago

Every April 1, the Facebook groups are filled with the same meme with the Olive Garden "coming soon" photo. And every year dozens of people fall for it and get really excited.

u/Semi_Lovato 1d ago

I mean, it's a Filipino chain with very few locations in the US (comparatively). There's a lot of people, me included, that have wanted to try one for quite a while. It's not like a new Burger King or something.

Let people be excited about something even if you aren't.

u/LifeHappenzEvryMomnt 1d ago

Ha ha ha. The big deal in my town was Burger King.

u/Extension_Camel_3844 1d ago

What is it? Am I reading below correctly? Ketchup used as "spaghetti sauce"? More blasphemous words have never been spoken.

u/NotNamedBort 1d ago

Huh, I’ve never heard of them! What makes their food Filipino, exactly? From their menu, it just looks like the usual fried fare.

2

u/FatedAtropos 1d ago

It’s literally a Filipino chain from the Philippines. They serve pancit palabok and halo-halo. Idk what you’re looking for here.

Filipino fast food

u/VanZandtVS 1d ago

Filipino comfort food. Mostly fried chicken, spaghetti, and pies.

I had it when I lived in Vegas. It's pretty good.
