Jollibee
20160719:
By recommendation, I got the Fiesta Noodles and it was tasty. Of course, I do have a soft spot for any noodle-based dish. In any case, it had a nice flavor to it - especially when adding the packet of lemon juice.
While my initial impressions were positive, I eventually found fault in the noodles being soggy, implying the noodles had already been cooked and have been sitting around soaking up more liquid. As this might be expected of a fast food restaurant, I'd refrain from being overly critical; the Fiesta Noodles were good as far as fast food is concerned.
Ada ordered the two-piece chicken combo which comes with corn and mashed potato and we more or less shared it; she ate the breast and I ate the leg.
Unlike the heavy breading found on fried chicken from KFC,* the fried coating of the chicken here at Jollibee was thin and crisp.
The corn tasted average. Elaborating, I would establish canned corn as tasting average and this corn was probably canned corn.
Ada also considered the mashed potato tasting average, but I thought it was creamy, buttery, and smooth (though there was the occasional uneven chunk here and there). It wasn't bad for a fast food chain (especially if you like creamy mashed potato as opposed to mealy mashed potato or chunky mashed potato).
I wondered how many locations Jollibee had in the USA and where. Their store locator indicates the following: Northern California (10), Southern California (12), Hawaii (4), Nevada (2), New Jersey, New York, Texas, Washington, and Virginia.
Menu Description:
Fiesta Noodles Traditional noodles in a garlic sauce with pork cracklings, sauteed pork, shrimp, parsley flakes, and slices of egg.
In any case, Ada said next time we should try Goldilocks.
*I tend to order the grilled chicken from KFC in order to avoid the excessive breading. I do, however, like their chicken strips.
