JOLLIBEE Mascots and Why In-house Counsels are (usually) Unpopular in the Workplace (For those who don’t know, I used to be an in-house counsel for several big BPOs in the Philippines. If you don’t know what Jollibee is, it is a famous fast-food chain in the Philippines.) The facts: To celebrate an operation supervisor’s bday, the account manager thought of throwing a surprise party and bring a Jollibee mascot inside a secure/clean desk/authorized persons only floor. The account director and the client’s own vendor manager approved this initiative. It was good for employee morale after all. The VP in charge of the account said “ask Legal first.” The Problem: This initiative would violate the security provisions of the client contract despite the vendor manager’s approval. The client contract stated that any “exception” should be approved by the client. For me, the vendor manager’s approval did not count. But as in-house counsels, we couldnt just say “no.” We should offer solutions. Recommendation: I said that they should secure the approval from a person authorized to give an exception. In this case, it should be from the client’s high-level information security officer or equivalent officer as any potential security incident would be in such officer’s domain. Conclusion: The Jollibee mascot, manager, and director celebrated the account supervisor’s bday at the company pantry….I never got invited to that party too :) I am sure that the in-house counsels here have similar stories too on how they ended up spoiling someone’s party plans :) (Note: This happened before the passage of the Philippines’ Data Privacy Act of 2012.)

Danielle's Dish

So it's been a long time since I last posted (i.e. years ago) and I really don't have any excuses. Sure, life got in the way (wedding, dog, home, dog, the house again), but life's always going to get in the way of whatever you are doing, so you have to push through and keep going. I also had the revelation that even though I haven't updated my Danielle's Dish Instagram in years, I've still got a steady stream of followers who kept following, so I should probably give the people what they want - more food reviews! So while Danielle's Dish posts may not be as frequent, when I have a food story to tell you about, I will.

Enough about that. This week I was messing around on my phone, probably in one of those bored moments because I have no idea how I actually stumbled upon this or even found out that this place existed, but there's a new-ish fast food restaurant that opened up in Skokie (and now in Chicago) called Jollibee. Jollibee's been around for awhile throughout the world and the United States. From what I understand, it's the Filipino solution to McDonald's. And the Jollibee mascot looks like a bumblebee in a red suit jacket. When I asked my foodie friend about Jollibee (who also knows when every new place opens up in Chicago), she said she heard about the Jollibee hype, too. And being a fast food lover myself, how could I not try this or attempt to brave the said 'long lines' mid-week when I actually had time to sit and wait?

So I buckled up myself and my dog (what can I say, I wanted company!) in the car, and we were off. First of all I have to set the record straight - there was not a crazy line at the drive-thru (2 cars ahead of me) so perhaps some of the hype around Jollibee wore off. I know much of the negativity around Jollibee has to do with how long people have said they had to wait for the food at a FAST FOOD restaurant.

I do want to say one thing about the Jollibee menu compared to other American fast food joints. It's extremely random. Sure, they have burgers and chicken. But when I pulled up to the window at the drive-thru, it smells like Chinese restaurant. Oh, and they sell Spaghetti. Something called Fiesta Noodles. A sandwich with Spam inside.

Given that I'm one person and wanted to try a sampling, below's what I came away with from Jollibee. There's only so much food that I believe is actually justifiable for one person to try and eat themselves.

  • Jolly Spaghetti meal, which came with a 2 piece Chicken Dippers, gravy for dipping, and a drink
    • Jolly Spaghetti is different from any traditional spaghetti I make at home or eat in a restaurant because the sauce is VERY sweet (I'm told this is more of a traditional Filipino spaghetti). And I LIKED that! Kind of reminded me of the spaghetti and sauce I used to eat in the elementary school cafeteria. Inside the spaghetti sauce is chunks of meat, and it's not very distinguishable what kind of meat this is. The Website says it is ham, sausage, and ground beef, but I swear it's hot dogs. It's topped with a mild cheddar cheese and the noodles are cooked al dente. Maybe it looks weird, maybe it looks like something you wouldn't normally get from a fast food restaurant - but seriously - TRY IT!!
    • There's absolutely no need to get the Chicken Dippers. The chicken batter is so flavorless that I'd rather go to KFC or Popeye's or McDonald's or Taco Bell any day for chicken. Gravy was delicious and very salty, but what fun is it to have gravy when the dipping vessel for said gravy is no good?
    • First of all, remember this is FAST FOOD joint. So I'm reviewing this like if I was looking to eat fast food spaghetti, or a fast food chicken tender (not like what I'd eat at a Michelin Star restaurant if I ever went to one). So go in with an open mind because this is fast food.
    • Seriously try the Jolly Spaghetti and the Aloha Burger. Remember that both of these items have a sweet flavor to them.
    • Skip the Chicken Dippers.
    • Only have the Peach Mango Pie if you are a pie person. Or love Peaches and Mangoes. Next time I'll have to try the Halo-Halo dessert (it's the colors of the rainbow and has what looks like balls of ice cream in it).

    Jollibee: Filipino Fast Food Sensation Comes to Philly

    I somehow missed the local media and online buzz when Jollibee opened its first Philadelphia outlet. Fortunately for me, my friend Paul didn’t and texted photos of his food to me as he was making his way through much of their menu. One item in particular, which I’ll address below, stuck out and was the lead reason for my visit.

    The Filipino fast food chain has a large international following and has been called ‘the McDonald’s of the Philippines.’ It took a few weeks, but I finally made it to their new spot in Northeast Philly to try out the food for myself. Another friend – Robert – tagged along, which enabled me to photograph a bit more of what they offer than I could have if I’d been alone.

    The first thing that struck me when I pulled into the parking lot of the shopping complex that includes Jollibee is how confusing their outside setup is. I don’t know if what you see in the photo below is a temporary or permanent layout.

    After driving around the lot and concluding I can’t park next to the restaurant, I found a spot and headed in with Robert.

    I liked the old-fashioned roadside charm of their mascot. It reminded me a bit of 20th century favorite, Bob’s Big Boy.

    Jollibee’s mascot Bob’s Big Boy was a familiar roadside sight in the U.S. during the mid to late 20th century.

    While they at least had a polite staff behind the counter to take and, if necessary, guide customers through orders, the interior still had a modern feel to it. Unfortunately, I was asleep at the wheel and didn’t take any shots of the inside other than the ordering area.

    While Jollibee may be known as a Filipino fast food chain, most of their menu is as classically American as it gets – fried chicken, burgers and chicken sandwiches, fries, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, and fried peach-mango pies.

    Fried chicken seems to be the lead draw at Jollibee.

    Robert went with a Cheesy Yumburger minus the house sauce and a side of fries. While my primary reason for visiting Jollibee was to try the peach-mango pie, I was also interested in their spicy fried chicken and ordered a two-piece meal paired with what was probably the most authentically Filipino item on the menu; palabok.

    If he had realized how small the patty would be, I think Robert would have gone for a double. Nonetheless, he rated his cheeseburger slightly above those at McDonald’s and Burger King. I tried the fries and they could easily pass for being from one of the major American fast food chains; which is a compliment.

    Small, but it was given a stamp of approval from my dining companion.

    While no chain fried chicken is ever going to compare to what I ate during my visits to western Kentucky, I was impressed by the quality of what I had at Jollibee. As I previously alluded to, it comes either mild or spicy, and I opted for the latter. The heat wasn’t intense by any means, but it was there. The crust had a nice, crispy texture and the meat within it was juicy. It also came with a side of gravy for dipping.

    Gravy for dipping

    The palabok consisted of what appeared to be rice noodles with a fairly thick sauce that included mini-shrimp and small bits of pork, as well as a couple pieces of hard-boiled egg. I can’t say I loved it, but I didn’t dislike it either. I suspect it would be better to try this dish when it’s prepared by a Filipino grandmother.

    As much as I enjoyed the chicken, I couldn’t wait to finish it so I could get to the peach-mango pie that had been staring me in the face since I sat down with our tray of food.

    I know I’m not alone in rueing the day in 1992 that McDonald’s dropped fried apple pies from their menu in favor of a baked substitute. From the time the first McDonald’s in our suburban town opened in the early 70s, I loved those pies and almost always finished off a meal there with one. I still recall them costing a quarter; 25 of the best cents I – okay, my parents – spent back in those days.

    When I saw the photo Paul sent of the peach-mango pie from Jollibee, I knew I had to go there. It looked virtually exactly like the old McDonald’s fried apple pies – at least until you break it apart or bite into it.

    The object of my eager anticipation

    When I took my first bite, I was immediately hit by a flashback to the taste and textural sensations of the old Mickey-D pie crust. The peach-mango filling was also sensational, with gooey chunks of fruit floating around in warm, sweet syrupy goodness. And I’m not sure I could pick a better fruit combination. I love both and have cited mango as my favorite fruit.

    Yeah, Baby!

    There is no doubt I’ll be stopping back there for more of the pies. While I enjoyed and recommend the fried chicken, if I decide to go beyond a pie the next time I visit, a double of the cheeseburger Robert had would be my likely pick just because I am more of a burger guy. Fried chicken only seems to excite me when I have it in parts of the country that specialize in it; especially Kentucky.

    It’s also possible I’ll just stop in for a pie after having lunch somewhere else in Northeast Philly.

    I picked up a rack of spare ribs to smoke on my Weber Smokey Mountain and will likely report on that in my next post. I’ll be trying a new smoking procedure – a barbecue experiment.

    Reviews for "Join the adventure at Magixal Mirai 2021 with nendoroid collectible sets"

    1. Emily - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Magixal mirai 2021 ndndoroid. The figure felt cheap and poorly made. The paint job was uneven and the joints were loose, making it difficult to pose the figure. I expected better quality considering the price. Overall, I would not recommend this product to others.
    2. Mark - 2 stars - The Magixal mirai 2021 ndndoroid was alright, but it didn't live up to my expectations. The packaging looked promising, but the figure itself lacked detail and the paint job was not as vibrant as I hoped. The poseability was decent, but the joints felt flimsy and I was afraid of breaking them. I think there are better options out there for Vocaloid fans.
    3. Samantha - 2 stars - As a collector of ndndoroids, I was excited to add the Magixal mirai 2021 version to my collection. However, I was disappointed by the lack of accessories. The figure only came with a few interchangeable parts, and they were rather plain. I would have liked to see more variety and creativity in the included extras. The figure itself was decent, but the lack of accessories was a letdown.
    4. Ryan - 1 star - The Magixal mirai 2021 ndndoroid was a complete waste of money. The figure was poorly made and had several defects right out of the box. The paint job was sloppy and there were visible seams on the figure. The overall quality was not up to par with other figures in the same price range. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone looking for a high-quality collectible.
