I think this is the 3rd time I've ever been to a Jollibee (the others being in VA Beach and NYC). Finally got around to taking the 15 minute drive.
I have to say, my other visits were forgettable. I recall getting things such as palabok and halo halo - both times, just going because my friends wanted to go. I never felt compelled to go to one on my own accord.
Well, it seems I was just getting the wrong things. Today I walked in, placed my order with the super nice cashier, and waited just a short time. We wanted to eat-in, but it was crowded, and at least one couple was just sitting there, done with their food, just chatting, aware people were waiting, but giving no F's. Oh well. We had the staff bag up our food and ate in the car.
The spicy chicken joy was great - crispy, hot (temp and spice level), and the gravy was tastier than I imagined it would be. I wanted the fries but they were out (sad) so I got the mashed potatoes because, though I'm Filipino, I don't love rice or adobo (gasp), so I didn't want those options.
Well, the mashed potatoes were smooth and delish - and came with the same gravy as the chicken. Again, delish. Funny thing is, I took a spoonful of the bro's adobo rice and it was good! Really good, actually.
I saved the peach mango pie for later because I was stuffed from the chicken and mash. When I got around to it, the crust was still super crispy. I liked the flavor of the fruit. I can only imagine it was more delish when it was hotter. I actually ate my bro's pie without telling him. YOU don't tell him either, ok?
Anyway, in all, this visit made me a fan. I'm going to stick to the spicy chicken joy and, hopefully, they'll have fries for me next time.
