Thumbs Down for Jollibee's Crisscut Fries

I said in the previous post that I want to taste the Crisscut Fries and chocolate-flavored Float of Jollibee. Well, I finally got the chance to taste the two new items on Jollibee menu. The verdict is that I did not like them.

Crisscut Fries is a weird looking potato fries. The potatoes were not cut in strips like in the usual French fries. It was cut to look like hash browns. The hash-brown-wanna-be fries were then sprinkled with either cheese or sour cream.

Fried potatoes taste good if they are served hot. Jollibee’s Crisscut Fries was as cool as room temperature when it reached our table. The cut potato is also soggy. The worst thing is that I tasted one potato that is stale. The stale potato tasted terrible so I am forced to spit it out of my mouth.

The coldness of the Crisscut Fries sent an impression that it is not popular to Jollibee’s customers. The Crisscut Fries were cooked, in anticipation that people will order them, but just sat on the line getting cold. Jollibee’s Crisscut Fries is terrible. I hope that Jollibee will remove this item from the Jollibee menu.

Chocolate-flavored Jollibee Float has no soft drink and that surprised me. This float has chocolate Sundae placed on chocolate drink. The chocolate-flavored Jollibee Float is just Chucky or Chocolait with Sundae. This float is a good alternative for those who are avoiding soft drinks.

The new items on Jollibee menu received a thumb down from me. The novelty of Crisscut Fries is OK but Jollibee should have ensured that it tastes good so that customers will not be horrified by it.

New on Chowking Menu: Chow Pao

Chowking, which is the county’s largest food chain that offers Chinese dishes, just unleashed their new creation: the Chow Pao.

This new item on the Chowking menu made me wonder. Is the Chow Pao the reinvention of siopao or is it the reinvention of sandwich? This musing came to an end when I visited Chowking last night and ordered the Chow Pao.

Chow Pao is sort of a sandwich that has some of our favorite ulam (viand) squeezed between mantao buns. There are three Chow Pao choices to choose from the Chowking menu. These choices are the Chow Pao with chunky beef, Chow Pao with braised chicken, Chow Pao with Chinese sausage and the “special” Chow Pao that Chinese sausage and some veggies.
.
Chow Pao of Chowking menu

Chowking sells the Chow Pao for 25 pesos per piece, which is I think is affordable.

I chose the Chow Pao with Chinese sausage. My mind is filled with thoughts of siopao the moment I sink my teeth to my Chow Pao. The mantao bun gave the feeling I was eating a siopao. The Chinese sausage tasted like normal Chinese sausage, which can also be placed on normal siopao.

I like this new item on Chowking menu. The fast food restaurant reinvented siopao to give it a new appeal. Now I wonder what the other three choices of Chow Pao taste like.

New Float and Fries on Jollibee Menu

I just saw new items on Jollibee menu that I want to try. These items are the new flavors of Jollibee float and the weird looking French fries.

I remember the time when Jollibee is offering the University Floats last year during the height of UAAP hype. I like the flavors of those floats especially the Green Apple Float. The University Floats were removed from the Jollibee menu after the UAAP season. Jollibee floats returned to their “normal” flavor, which is the regular Coke Float.

Now, Jollibee offers two new floats and these are the Coffee Float for the coffee addicts and the Chocolate Float for the chocolate lovers. 
.

Another new item on the Jollibee menu is the Crisscut Fries.
.

I guess that this new fries replaced the Jolly Crispy Fries which were in cheese and cream sour flavors. The Crisscut Fries comes in a weird shape and the only flavor is cheese. I hope that Jollibee will add new flavors for Crisscut fries soon.

It is good that Jollibee is keen in adding new items on Jollibee menu. At least its patrons will taste something new. As for me, I might try the chocolate float and the Crisscut Fries when I eat at Jollibee again.

My Favorite Mang Inasal Menu Items with Unli Rice

Of the many restaurants in Metro Manila, I can say that Mang Inasal is the most visited one by me and my beloved. We always go to Mang Inasal whenever we like to have a super-heavy meal because this fast food restaurant offers unlimited rice on selected items on the Mang Inasal menu.

There are so many items on the Mang Inasal menu but the ones I am most acquainted with are those that have unlimited rice. These meal items are the so-called Paborito Meals (PM).
.
Mang Inasal menu

The Paborito Meals are the paa, spicy paa, pecho, pork inasal, bangus sisig, pork sisig, boneless bangus and grilled liempo.

I have only two favorites on this set of the Mang Inasal menu. These two are the:
.
PM 2 of Mang Inasal menu

and:
.
PM 1.5 of Mang Inasal menu

Sometimes I order PM 1 (paa) if PM 1.5 (spicy paa) is not available.

Why I prefer the PM 2 and PM 1.5 over the other unli rice items of the Mang Inasal menu? The reason is that these two Paborito Meals have the most meat compared to the other items. I only go to Mang Inasal if I want to eat plenty. I always order Mang Inasal menu items with unli rice and I want to have a lot of ulam for my unlimited rice.

How about you? What is your favorite Mang Inasal menu item?

Jollibee Branches in NAIA

Are you an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) who is about to leave our country to work in “greener pastures” abroad? Or are you one of the Filipinos who decided to migrate to other place outside of the Philippines? If you are, then I bet that you will miss many of things connected to our identity as Filipino. You will miss the fiesta, our mouthwatering dishes and the entertaining politics. It is highly probable that you will miss the country's favorite fast food restaurant, Jollibee.

“But I am already in NAIA and I want to eat Langhap Sarap meals!”, your mind suddenly exclaimed.

Don't fret my friend. You still have the chance to taste an item from Jollibee menu even if you are already in NAIA Terminal 1. Jollibee operates a branch in NAIA Terminal 1.
.
NAIA Terminal 1 Jollibee branch
NAIA Terminal 1 branch of Jollibee.
The NAIA Terminal 1 branch of Jollibee is located on the second floor of the waiting area outside of the terminal. The waiting area is for family, friends and “sundo” who are waiting for arriving passengers from abroad.

That Jollibee branch occupies just a small place so it is better that you take-out your orders. The space of that Jollibee branch may be small but the food is still the Langhap-Sarap that we Filipinos loved.

A better-looking Jollibee branch can be found inside NAIA Terminal 3. If you happen to be in this terminal, then I suggest that you eat that this Jollibee branch instead going to the NAIA Terminal 1 Jollibee branch.
.
NAIA Terminal 3 Jollibee branch

Whatever branch you choose, I recommend that you eat one Jollibee meal before you go flying to other countries. Let your tounge taste one Langhap-Sarap meal before you stay out of our country for a long time.

Two Yummy Cakes from Red Ribbon Bakeshop

It’s been a long time since I tasted a cake from Red Ribbon Bakeshop. That is why last month I am sort of a super-fortunate person when I ate not one but two kinds of cakes from Red Ribbon Bakeshop. The first cake is the one I bought for Mother’s Day and the other one is a surprise for my beloved.

The cakes that I bought from Red Ribbon Bakeshop are the Chocolate Caramel Roll for my mom and the Mocha Roll for my beloved.

Red Ribbon Bakeshop is still my favorite cake shop. As I had said in a previous post, the cakes from Red Ribbon Bakeshop are way better than the Goldilocks cakes. The breading of Goldilocks cakes crumbles easily unlike the cakes from Red Ribbon.
.

Chocolate Caramel Roll is chocolate chiffon with caramel filling and chocolate icing. The toppings of this cake are white chocolate squares and caramel drizzle.
.
Red Ribbon Bakeshop - Mocha Roll

Mocha Roll, on the other hand, has mocha-flavored chiffon covered by French mocha butter cream.

I find the Chocolate Caramel Roll as little bit bitter for my taste. I guess there is too much chocolate in it. Of the two cakes from Red Ribbon Bakeshop, my favorite would be the Mocha Roll.

New Item on Jollibee Menu: Chicken and Mushroom Pasta

Another visit to Jollibee allowed me to see a new item on the Jollibee menu. That “langhap sarap” item is the chicken and mushroom pasta. I know that I need that order it the moment I saw it on the Jollibee menu. Good thing that this 70 pesos meal already has a regular-sized soft drink.

I think that Jollibee is trying to diversify its pasta meal. The popular pasta found on the Jollibee menu is the Jollibee spaghetti. It is a big hit for the kids and fans of Jollibee. Jollibee created the chicken and mushroom pasta for those who are not fan of the sweet Jollibee spaghetti.

The chicken and mushroom pasta that I got was placed in a box.

I was disappointed when I opened the box. What I saw is just the pasta.
.
New item on Jollibee menu: Chicken and Mushroom Pasta

I actually expected Jollibee’s chicken and mushroom pasta to have one piece Jollibee Chickenjoy. Silly me. The chicken in this pasta meal are the small bits of chicken meat not the big Chickenjoy.

I am not disappointed with the flavor, though. I think that it tastes better than the Jollibee spaghetti. It taste more like a respectable pasta (for adults), which is very unlike the Jollibee spaghetti that is too sweet (but is appealing to kids).

It is good that Filipino’s favorite fast food restaurant added another spaghetti meal on the Jollibee menu. People who want to eat pasta will have option other than the Jollibee spaghetti.

New on Chowking Menu: Chef Bowls

Me and my beloved saw new items on Chowking menu when we visited a Chowking branch last month. The new items that we saw on the Chowking menu are the chef bowl meals. We had three items to choose from. Written on Chowking menu are Oriental Beef Bowl, Fish Tausi Bowl and Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl.

I chose the Oriental Beef Bowl while my beloved chose the Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl.

The Oriental Beef Bowl tastes OK. I like the fact that they place a slice of egg in that rice bowl meal. I think that it is a good addition to the Chowking menu.
.
Chowking Menu - Oriental Beef Bowl

My beloved commented that the Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl is too sweet for her liking. She said that she will not order it the next. She will choose another item on Chowking menu than eat another Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl.
.
Chowking Menu - Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl

I guess that it is a matter of preference. My beloved does not like sweet dishes that's why she disliked the Honey Garlic Chicken Bowl. Other people, especially those with sweet tooth may like it.

The only Chef Bowl that I haven't tried is the Fish Tausi Bowl. I might try it when I return to Chowking. Even if I haven't eaten that dish, I can still say that the Chef Bowl meals are good addition to the Chowking Menu.

New on Jollibee Menu: Milo Blast

My beloved noticed something on the Jollibee Menu the last time we visited a branch of Jollibee. She saw the new flavor of Sundae Mix-Ins. This new flavor of Sundae Mix-Ins on the Jollibee menu is the Milo Blast.

Since I am abstaining from meat, I chose the crispy bangus from the Jollibee menu. My beloved, on the other hand, didn't ordered any heavy meal but just chose the Milo Blast. It seems like she wanted to go directly to dessert just to have a taste of the new Sundae Mix-Ins on Jollibee menu.

The Milo Blast combined the Jollibee's soft serve (also known as Sundae), crushed cookies, Milo cereal balls and Milo powder.
.
Jollibee Menu - Milo Blast
Delicious Milo Blast

My beloved definitely had a blast with this new Sundae Mix-Ins on Jollibee Menu. She is a fan of Jollibee's Sundae and she usually drinks Milo during breakfast. Jollibee's Milo Blast mixed these two favorite of hers and she liked it.

I took a spoonfull of Jollibee's Milo Blast and I can say that it tastes good. The good taste of Jollibee's Sundae was enhanced by the taste of Milo powder. The crushed cookies and the Milo cereal added a punch with cruchiness.

This new item on Jollibee menu is a winner. Jollibee created a new dessert that many Jollibee fans will surely enjoy.

Jollibee Menu: Grilled Pork Tenders

My stomach grumbled while I was waiting for the start of the movie, There be Dragons. So, I decided to have a dinner just to silence my tummy. I was in Trinoma and I decided to visit the Jollibee branch located on the ground floor of the mall. 

I have visited Jollibee a lot of times and I already tasted the regular items on the Jollibee menu. I already tasted their chicken (two-piece or one-piece), burger yum, Jollibee spaghetti, and that macaroni soup. I even tried a breakfast item on Jollibee menu, which is the Chicken Sausage with Pancake.

That night, I saw a meal item on the Jollibee menu that I haven’t tasted yet. That item is Jollibee’s Grilled Pork Tenders.
.
Jollibee menu - Grilled Pork Tenders
Grilled Pork Tenders of Jollibee.

I chose Grilled Pork Tenders as my dinner. It costs almost the same as the other regular meal item on the Jollibee menu.

Grilled Pork Tenders lived up to its name. It is tender, which is perfect for senior citizens who already have weak set of teeth. Grilled Pork Tenders tastes sweet and peppery. Grilled Pork Tenders has a toyomansi (soy sauce with calamansi) dip but you can opt not to use the dip because the pork tastes well even without it.

Grille Pork Tenders is another good addition to the Jollibee menu. I believe, however, that its taste is just a notch higher than your home-cooked grilled pork.

New on Jollibee Menu: University Floats

The UAAP fever for this year is already over but Jollibee is not yet done with it. My beloved and I visited a Jollibee branch for some refreshments and we saw the University Floats on the Jollibee menu. Since my beloved is somewhat addicted to floats, we decided to order two of Jollibee’s University Floats.

My beloved chose Green Apple float while I chose the Blue Bubblegum. Other University Floats on the Jollibee menu are Red Watermelon and Yellow Dalandan. I know that University Floats are just Sprite soft drinks that were mixed with flavoring and a sundae on top.

Here is our Blue Bubblegum and Green Apple floats:
.
Jollibee menu: University Floats
Green Apple and Blue Bubblegum floats.

We rated both flavors of the University Floats as “OK.” This is means that they are not bad but not excellent either. Well, it is good that Jollibee keep on placing new items on the Jollibee menu. Personally, I believe that the Green Apple tastes better than the Blue Bubblegum.

We will try the Red Watermelon and the Yellow Dalandan the next time that we visit Jollibee. However, the University Floats may be gone on the Jollibee menu soon since this year’s UAAP is over. If that happens then we will wait until next year for the next batch of University Floats.

If there are no University Floats, then there will always be the regular Jollibee float.

A Taste of Jollibee Menu in the Morning

I usually eat at Jollibee either during lunch or dinner that is why I am not that familiar with the Jollibee Menu for the early morning. I usually eat the Jollibee Chickenjoy or the chicken barbecue. I usually choose any of the meals that I listed in my top five items in Jollibee menu.

Are you looking for information about Jollibee party package? Please visit my post: Jollibee Package for Birthday Parties.

Just like McDonalds, Jollibee also offer breakfast meals. Jollibee dubs these early morning meals as “Jollibee Breakfast Joys.” There are only four meal items that are included in the “Jollibee Breakfast Joys” and these are:
.
Jollibee menu - Jollibee Breakfast Joys
Clockwise from top left: Hotdog with Pancake, Longganisa with Pancake,
Chicken Sausage with Pancake and Chicken Sausage with Garlic Rice.

Last week, I got a chance to drop by a Jollibee store in the early morning. I was surprised to see some of my “favorite” meals removed from the Jollibee menu and was replaced by the Breakfast Joys. I welcome the change, however, because the available meal items are perfect for breakfast.

I did not choose the Chicken Sausage with Garlic Rice because my breakfast usually has rice or fried rice. I want to try something different so I chose the Chicken Sausage with Pancake meal from the Jollibee menu.
.
Jollibee menu: Chicken sausage with pancake

The Chicken Sausage with Pancake breakfast meal has to pieces of chicken sausage and two pieces of pancakes. The meal is OK for me. It is not excellent but it is not terrible. I just hope that Jollibee is more generous for their syrup because what they gave me is not enough to cover the pancakes.

My Favorites on Chowking Menu

My previous boss on my first job is a great fan of Chowking. Whenever we go out of the office for fieldworks, my boss always chose to eat at Chowking to eat his favorite congee with century egg. I am not a fan of Chowking's congee because I just consider it as expensive regular “lugaw.” So, whenever we eat out at Chowking, I usually order one of Chowking's noodles.

Chowking is a fast food restaurant that offers Chinese dishes. Siomai, siopao and Chinese noodles are few of the food items that can be found on the Chowking menu. Of the many items being offered by Chowking menu, I only have three favorites and these are:

1. Chowking Halo-halo

Chowking menu - halo-halo
(Source: Chowking website)

Chowking halo-halo is the most popular dessert on the Chowking menu although it is more of a Filipino dessert than a Chinese one. What I like about Chowking's halo-halo is its being kumpledos rekados (complete in ingredients) because this halo-halo has all the usual toppings like sweet beans, nata de coco, kaong, sweetened banana and leche flan plus; one scoop of ice cream.

2. Chowking Beef Noodles

Chowking menu - beef noodles
Chowking Beef Wanton Noodles
I said in a previous post that Chowking's noodles are like the thicker version of the Lucky Me! Noodles. Chowking's beef noodle is a tasty noodle soup that has chunks of beef meat on it. The taste of this noodle soup is quite OK and I order it whenever I want to have a “masabaw” (soupy) meal.

3. Chinese-style Chicken

Chowking menu - Chinese-style chicken

Chowking's Chinese-style Chicken is the latest item on the Chowking menu. Chowking's TV commercial brags that many people like their Chinese-style chicken and I believe that that it's true. Chowking's Chinese-style chicken is crunchy and tasty. It is definitely better than the fried chicken of Jollibee and McDonalds.

These are three of my favorite Chowking meals. I am not a fan of Chowking's congee and chao fan (fried rice) because my mother can cook better tasting lugaw and sinangag at home. So, if you will ever see me eat at Chowking, expect that you will see me eat any of these three items from the Chowking menu.

Choose from Jollibee Menu Online

There is no doubt that Jollibee is the number one fast food restaurant in the Philippines. The proof of this is the fact that Jollibee's name and the giant red bee mascot is already etched in the Filipino culture. Ask a a kid in the Philippines what is his favorite restaurant and the usual answer will be “Jollibee.” Due to its popularity, Jollibee created an online store where customers can choose and order their favorite “Langhap Sarap” meals. This online store is the Jollibee Delivery.com.

New on Jollibee Menu: Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream

Jollibee keeps on pumping out new items on Jollibee menu. Last time I talked about the Jollibee Float. Now, Jollibee reinvented its French fries by creating two new flavors. The two new flavors of Jollibee's French fries are the Jolly Crispy Fries Cheese and the Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream.

Me and my beloved saw these new items on the Jollibee menu that's why we gave it a try. My beloved chose the Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream. The cashier told us that the new fries are only available in “large” size only. There is no such thing as regular sized Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream. I wondered why because it is easy to offer French fries in “regular” size no matter what the flavor is.

According to iSoda, he found the Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream as tasteless. He said that he ended up eating it with ketchup just for it to have a taste. We did not have the same experience with our Jolly Crispy Fries. Our Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream taste what it should taste and it tastes as fried potatoes with sour cream.
.
Jollibee Menu Jolly Crispy Fries Sour Cream

Maybe iSoda's fries became tasteless because the Jollibee crew did not put enough sour cream flavor on his fries. That is possible because fastfoods have notorious reputation when it comes to controlling the quality of food that they serve for their customers.

I do agree with iSoda and I say that potato fries taste much better on stalls that specialize on selling fried potatoes. I remember one stall where sister and I bought fried potatoes on sticks that have delicious flavor. I forgot the name but their shops are located on MRT and LRT stations and along corridors inside major malls.
