“If the US have McDonald’s, then the Philippines have Jollibee” – this is what I tell my friends in the US if they ask me what Jollibee is. Jollibee is the biggest and one of the most popular fast-food chain restaurants in the Philippines. So popular, in fact, most babies learn “jabee” as one of their first words. It is very well-known amongst Filipinos, especially kids since most of them celebrated their 7th birthday with Jollibee (ahem) They not only serve delicious burgers and chicken, but the cost is very economical and appeals to the masses. I remember when I was high school, my friends and I would hang out at a Jollibee after class having ice cream or french fries. Ahh those days…

To me, Jollibee is a symbol of innocence and memories of my younger years. One of my favorite dishes (and probably the most popular) is their burger steak. Burger steak or hamburger steak is a lot like Salisbury steak; fried beef patties are topped with creamy mushroom gravy. Along with burger steak, Jollibee also serves spaghetti, (delicious!) fried chicken, and some Filipino favorites like “palabok” and “lumpia”. You might even have a Jollibee close to you if you live in California (where Filipinos are everywhere) There is one in Seattle, which is about 20 minutes south of Downtown. My husband and I also do our Filipino grocery shopping at a Filipino store there. You might find the sweetest Philippine mangoes here too.
