jollibee one of the largest fast-food chains from the Philippines opening up
once again another first for our beautiful capital city right here in
Edmonton Alberta Canada this is the chains fifth location in Canada with
first being in Winnipeg Manitoba it's absolute fanfare and love for Jollibee
as it's a reminder of home that is the Philippines for hundreds of Filipinos
waiting in line called the equivalent feeling Canadians get for Tim Hortons
but more this Filipino fast food chains menu is so different from North American
fast food chains offering Asian noodle dishes and flavors coming straight from
the Philippines most very well known menu items include the Jolly crispy
chicken and jolly spaghetti it was our turn to join the party on the third day
since the grand opening so was a three and a half hour wait worth it let's find

notifications for the latest and greatest it's been four years since the
last time I had Jollibee in San Diego California there are a lot of hardcore
foodies and fans of Jollibee who started lining up outside three days before the
grand opening they have two big tents to shelter customers from the weather the
main one here and the second one here waking up at 5:00 a.m. we were
determined to partake in the Fan Fair on the third day of the grand opening
arriving at 6:15 in the morning the weather for this day was 9 degrees
Celsius and rainy but it did not deter any hardcore Filipinos from lining up we
were number 277 and 278 in line for gosh sakes crazy we were in line for three
and a half hours and I'd say a solid ninety-five percent of the crowd were
Filipinos since we were in the tent for a while we were glad we came prepared I
highly recommend bringing a small chair because standing for many hours can get
tough
okay thank you hey removing removing LMG we're moving to the other tent haha
that's the funny part we're just moving to another tent our order is written down
Once we reach the counter our order cannot change. Here are the restrictions
for ordering. Woo hoo, going inside. Hi. Good morning...
Wow
so we came from here
and now we're inside the staff are super nice and happy they even offered to take
our picture I gotta tell you waiting three and a half hours in the damn cold
weather a smile from a jolly be employee makes all the difference check out their
menu and how busy the counter is look at these busy jelly beans yeah we can place
our order this place is really nice
look look look check it out it's the mascot for jolly be it's jolly be here's
our order peach mango pie the pie has a super crispy thin crust probably more
fried than baked because the crust is not as thick as the pies you would get
at McDonald's also the sweet mango peach filling has some real pieces of fruit
mixed in that gooey richness oh it's super good whew oh okay okay here's a
quick tip don't eat the pie immediately let it cool for at least 10 minutes
because the outer layer tastes way crispier than when you eat it fresh yum
burger the yum burger meat was savory and slightly salty the sauce is like a
mayo ketchup sauce and of course had to add cheese the burger meat is pretty
thin than other burger meats not really my favorite but was to my husband's
liking since he was really hungry pineapple clincher drink the pineapple
quench a drink is really good just enough sweetness in the drink and love
the pineapple juice so good it's so delicious falafel Fiesta a typical
Filipino noodle dish where the sauce tastes very similar to homemade Filipino
palovak sauce which is like a seafood sauce mmm very good with some sort of
vermicelli noodles shrimp egg and pork here's another tip don't forget to mix
up the noodles with sauce before you eat it as it tastes better this way also for
those who know how to make pulao book from scratch if you're craving for it
now you can go to jalebi to get a fast fix jolly spaghetti this is not your
typical Italian spaghetti where it's more savory and tangy this jolly
spaghetti is more sweet than savory where it's a sweet meat sauce served
alongside with round hotdog pieces cube-like ham pieces and of course
shredded cheese all on top of spaghetti noodles it tastes fantastic to eat the
Jolly crispy chicken with the jelly spaghetti as you get that sweet and
savory contrast on your palate once again make sure to mix the spaghetti to
even out the flavor of sauce and cheese throughout the noodles jolly crispy
chicken of course saving the best for last
the fried chicken is right on for their crispy and crunchy skin must set up for
me almost tastes a bit similar to Church's Chicken crispiness meaning
it's got good flavor chicken is deep-fried well we're all the
batter is cooked to perfection it's really good and not too salty the meat
is moist too you must be wondering why on earth is there a gravy included well
it's not for dipping your fries or pie or spaghetti it's for your chicken
Crispiness oh did you hear that crisp did you hear that crisp look how crispy that
stuff is oh my god is so good yum yum alright so we're gonna take this and
we're gonna dip it in here oh this stuff is so good so good look at that look at
that dribble look at that gravy dribble we finally left jollibee at 10:15 in the
morning oh my gosh four hours later thank you for watching if all this food
