Sure, I'll come back to Jollibee's after my first visit and I would recommend as well. Is thier unnecessary hype about this place..... yes and ....also no. Meaning what I ordered was absolutely tasty, however, I didn't experience a mind tingling, eyes rolling back in the head, and weird groaning I have seen in videos of people tasting Jollibees for the first time. Also, to be fair, I didn't order the most popular and beloved dishes of Jollibees: the fried chicken and the weird sweet spaghetti with hot dogs. I mean, come on, I'm not eating hotdog dessert spaghetti. A lot of people do like it. I just know I will not be indulging. The fried chicken is probably good but I've made and had delicious fried chicken and I already know that I will get it when I feel like it and not be super impressed. Probably like it but not a top fave......I digress.
I ordered a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, french fries, adobo rice, and a medium Pepsi.
First the bad..... those cold, limp, and stale french fries were just plain gross and I definitely missed the calories. Whoever said they taste like McDonald's fries clearly doesn't respect themselves. The Pepsi tasted artificial and metallic as if it was cleansed and not rinsed. Blech! Into the trash!
Now, the mashed potatoes and gravy are delish. The regular mashed potatoes needed a bit more gravy. By the way, the gravy is good thanks to it being seasoned well with salt and pepper.
The adobo rice, that is seasoned well with charred bites of dark meat chicken is delightful! The best thing on the menu. Sooooo good! I could eat that once a week or once every two weeks.
Oh, yeah. I also ordered a peach mango pie. The pie was amazing. It is peach forward and since I am not the biggest fan of mango, it was scrumptious to me. The rice and the mango were so delicious!
So yes, I'll be back and at some point I will order the chicken.
