I did! It is half a mile from where I get my haircut, so during a mandatory vacation day (COVID cost savings!) I made an early appointment so I could get to Jollibee before the lunch rush. 11 AM was a good time to go: there was one car ahead of me when I got there, but by the time my order was filled cars were queueing up.
I wanted to try the spicy chicken and spaghetti. I didn’t study the menu before hand, so when it was my turn I got flustered and ordered the first thing I saw with both items, which turned out to be Bucket Treat B: 6 pieces of chicken, a family sized serving of spaghetti, and 3 mango peach pies. I also ordered a Pineapple Quencher for the long ride home. After paying, I was directed to a parking spot to wait for my order to be prepared. The order was brought after 5 minutes or so, and I was once again told to “have a jolly day.”
Deep fried pies are at their best when fresh, so I decided to eat one in the car. This was a mistake, and makes me understand why eating in the car can be a ticketable offense. I bit of a crispy corner of the pie, and it was good, so I took a bigger bite. When I took that big bite, a big blob of filling went into my mouth, but the liquid part squirted all over my shirt. That filling is HOT! My lip had a couple of small blisters later. It was delicious though, like the McDonalds pies before they started with that baking instead of frying BS. The combination of the pie and Pineapple Quencher is a LOT of sugar though: I got home in record time.
The spaghetti was surprisingly good. They put the sauce on top, so it is possible to adjust the pasta:sauce ratio to make it not so sweet. I like hotdogs, so didn’t mind the addition of them nor the shredded cheese.
The chicken is excellent. Unlike some chains (I’m looking at you, Popeye’s!) the pieces are large so 2 is sufficient for a meal. It was all dark meat, which I consider a positive. I ordered all spicy, and each piece had a little flag indicating that it was a spicy piece (as it is possible to get a mix). The breading was crispy and lighter than American fried chicken - I wonder if they use cornstarch, because the texture was similar to Korean fried chicken. It was also surprisingly spicy. (My friend who is Filipino said that her father went when they first opened and the chicken was not spicy compared to other locations. He called and complained, so I thank him for his activism!) My husband (who is from the south) said it was some of the best fried chicken he had ever had., and it was also good cold the next day.
It is a good thing that it is an hour away, or I would eat it more often than I should. The food did hold up remarkably well on the drive home though, so maybe it is worth a trip today…
