Taste the Excellent Filipino Fast Food Choice at Jollibee in Pinellas Park
When it comes to delicious fast food, few can match the offerings of Jollibee. Starting as a small cafe in Manila in the early 1990s, Jollibee quickly gained a reputation for its wide variety of Filipino inspired dishes. The Filipino traditional warm chicken salad is a staple of Filipino meals. It is served with boiled eggs, sugar, and a slice very sweet white bread. How did Jollibee become a reality?
Legend has it that Jollibee's founder suffered a stroke and was forced to reinvent how Filipinos eat. He began by starting a food breakfast menu in a small cafe he owned in Baguio City. He served his food fresh from local ingredients, which is a departure from most fast food chains. It took him almost ten years before he opened his first restaurant, but slowly the word of his phenomenal breakfast menu spread to other local cafes, and soon there were hundreds of establishments selling Jollibee products throughout the city.
Jollibee's original recipe used ground beef, onions and green peppers. It is the best-known pancake sandwich in the world. Since this is not the only way to make a fantastic jollibee, this dish combines the flavors of the different components to create something new and uniquely Filipino. Typically, ground meat is mixed with onions, green peppers, garlic, chicken, ham, and of course salt and pepper. Traditional ham and eggs are added later as well.
Chickenjoy - A chickenpox, a Filipino traditional delicacy, has been made into a popular modern food. It would be nearly impossible to make a jollibee in the Philippines without chickenjoy, so fast-food chains couldn't resist including this delicious poultry delicacy on their menus. Although traditionally made with chicken, chickenpox is now made using pork, beef, and chicken meat in a variety of different ways. Chickenjoy is an authentic Filipino delicacy that comes from the best parts of the animals mentioned above, cooked in a way that is still pleasing to the taste buds.
Banana Ketchup - One of the most popular ingredients in a jollibee is the delicious combination of banana and ketchup. This condiment can be used to enhance the flavor of many Filipino dishes. Traditional recipes call for ground beef, tomatoes and onion. However, modern jollibee recipes often substitute these ingredients. Most European and American consumers don't know that bananas shouldn't be in a jollibee dish. This is because bananas are a tropical fruit that doesn't go well with spicy foods.
