JOLLIBEE

WAIPAHU, HAWAII 

Jollibee is an institution in the Philippines.  They are the    Mc Donalds of the Philippines with outlets in every mall and neighborhood.  When we heard that they had opened a Jollibee in America I was shocked.  Even more surprised to learn they opened in Waipahu, Hawaii.  Waipahu has a large Filipino community so this was a perfect choice in my mind.  The lines the first couple of weeks were huge we were told.  Basically could not get parking or in the place without a very long wait.  The crowds are smaller now but the place still has a line at all hours.  I tried the Cheeseburger with Tomato and Lettuce ($1.75).  The cheese was not melted.  Just placed on top of the burger.  The burger was salty and really tasteless.  I would not eat another one.  The Fried Chicken however is a huge winner.  We ordered Two Pieces of Chicken ($3.99). We received two large pieces cooked crispy and to perfection.  Crunchy yet moist in the middle with great taste.  The gravy that is served with the chicken is addicting.  Once you dip the chicken in the gravy, you will be hooked.  My Wife loves the Palabok ($4.95).  Noodles topped with special sauce, shrimp, pork rinds and boiled egg.  I didn't try this dish but it is quite popular.  The menu at Jollibee is pretty simple.  Burgers, Spaghetti and Fried Chicken.  I would go back tomorrow for the Fried Chicken. http://www.jollibeeusa.com/
