Jollibee, One or if not the largest fast-food chain in the Philippines

Is it a Who or a What?

Have you at any point seen a honey bee wearing red overcoat, shirt, and cook's cap? That is Jollibee!

Jollibee is the fundamental mascot of the biggest fast-food chain in the Philippines. Although adored by individuals across ages, it is particularly interesting to youngsters because of its adorable figure. Unlike the scary clown, Jollibee is a delightful and gifted mascot as it performs dances per the latest. The stores oblige gatherings and occasions and you can demand the mascot's extraordinary appearance alone or with the posse. The gathering incorporates Hetty (spaghetti), Yum (burger), Twirlie (sundae), and Popo (French fries).

Yet, why a honey bee? As indicated by the pioneer, it looks at the average Filipino worker, occupied yet happy.

Jollibee products, for example, dancing Jollibee dolls, and cushions can be purchased at stores including limited editions on special occasions and events.

How it Began

Jollibee Food Corporation was established by a Filipino-Chinese businessman Tony Tan Caktiong and his family in 1975. Caktiong was brought up in an unfortunate family in China and moved to the Philippines along with his 6 siblings in expecting a better future. The business was initially a frozen yogurt parlor yet because of clients' interest, they began to serve sandwiches and hot feasts. Subsequent to seeing that the dinners were more famous, the family chose to supplant the frozen yogurt shops into cheap food outlets in 1978.

Mcdonald's was demonstrated to be hard to beat yet Jollibee had the option to match and endured it. Why? The adversary Mcdonald's, as per Caktiong, "didn't realize nearby food culture". In a meeting where Caktiong was gotten some information about the business' confidential, he said, "Simply ensure your food is truly delectable".

As of now, there are north of 1000 stores in the Philippines alone and 150 branches in unfamiliar business sectors like the US, UK, Southeast Asia, and the UAE. The Company additionally claims famous pecking orders like Chowking, Greenwich Pizza, Red Lace Bakeshop, Mang Inasal, and Burger Lord Philippines. The President's assessed total assets are about $4.0B and are on the Main 5 most extravagant Filipinos.

What's Famous and What is Must Try

The chain works day in and day out, where the menu changes from breakfast to main meals and desserts. I will share my personal top choices on the menu.

Chickenjoy! The fried chicken meal is likely the most famous item in the store. It has a crunchy surface from an external perspective and is truly delicate and succulent inside. They have the first and fiery assortments. Aside from the chicken and rice feast, chicken joy is likewise matched with their spaghetti.

Peach-mango pie! A treat that is incredible. The outside is firm and flaky however it's sweet with pieces of peach and mangoes in a thick sauce inside. It is served Truly hot!

Yumburger. It is one of the principal items served in the beginning of the business. It's an ordinary burger yet in some way or another, the taste is effectively recognizable from those of different stores.

Jolly spaghetti. A #1 among kids and more youthful clients, Filipino-style pasta can be a shock to unfamiliar tongues. Their translation of spaghetti is sweet and substantial, with pieces of wieners and meatballs. The pleasantness of the dish can be trying to the people who favor Italian-style pasta. And, expect to see a serving of seared chicken and spaghetti in one plate!

Palabok. It's a Filipino-style bihon noodles presented with an exceptional sauce and garnishes of pork chicharon bits, sauteed pork, shrimps, and cuts of egg. It has a remarkable taste and integrates neighborhood fixings and flavors. Drinks. In the Philippines, the primary drink was Coca-Cola yet in certain nations, they serve Pepsi. Be that as it may, presently, various beverages are accessible like pineapple juice and tea.

Jollibee Overseas

It very well might be hard to enter the global market yet Jollibee has set up stores in nations like the US, Canada, and the UK among others. So how can it admission? As is commonly said, Filipinos are tracked down wherever in the globe so it's nothing unexpected that Jollibee stores are loaded up with clients, generally, Filipinos, while others are interested local people. To numerous Filipinos, Jollibee is a spot to meet individual Filipinos. The flavor of the dishes causes one to feel nostalgic and recollect their experience growing up. From the people who miss their home-prepared Filipino dinners, it's a welcome retreat. It's a cut of the Philippines brought to their doorstep. It resembles a usual hangout spot.

003. GET UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

HEIGHT: 6′3″ or 192 cm. WEIGHT: between 177 lbs or 80 kg and 181 lbs or 82 kg. BODY BUILD: jordan has what's considered the ideal weight for his height. he has a fast metabolism so albeit not upkeeping any kind of strict diet or following a specific eating plan, it's hard for him to put on much weight. up until a few years ago — five or six — and following how he stopped regularly exercising / playing basketball, he had a, somewhat, thin figure but ever since he started working out again, he has managed to get some lean muscle. overall, he has a toned body with defined abs and muscular arms. EYE COLOR: dark, earthy brown. EYESIGHT: his eyesight has no problems. HAIR COLOR & STYLE: when the topic in question regards personal style, it's hard to describe jordan's seeing as it is ever-changing. he has dreads and, most of the time, that's the extent he'll go to with his hairstyle. every so often, he'll get tired of having his hair down and he'll go for pigtails — which is one of his favorites hair styles — or a ponytail. when he wants his hair completely out of his way, he'll section his hair and part it in two cornrows and on the rare, he wears half of his hair up and the other half down. DOMINANT HAND: right. NOTABLE PHYSICAL TRAITS: the most notable physical trait is, without a doubt, the unusual birthmark on his cheek. besides it, and despite not doing it nearly as often ( unless he's around people he loves ), his smile / laugh are another thing that distinguishes him. there's also his towering frame, his ever-changing hair styles and his chiselled features on top of it. SCARS AND MARKS: asides from your every day, average scars here and there, jordan has a two larger and notable ones : the first on the underside of his right arm courtesy of breaking his arm when he was a kid and the second on his left knee, the result of a surgery he had to be submitted to due to an injury he made when he used to play basketball. he has a distinguishing birthmark on his cheek but, other than that, and sans a few moles here and there, jordan has no other relevant marks. TATTOOS: he has the quote on your own and for yourself in morse code tattooed around his right wrist — reference —, a reminder to keep going, no matter what might happen in his life; on his left wrist, he has a W — reference — which is the initial of his older brother's name; he has the outline of new york's skyline, in white ink, tattooed on the inside of his right arm — reference. on the back of his left arm, he has the geographic coordinates to alexandra's — his younger sister — and jada's — his niece — birth places — reference. on his left ankle, he has excelsior tattooed in bold font, new york city's motto. on his ribcage, a little below his left pectoral, he has the sound wave of his mother saying i love you tattooed. there's the word saudara — meaning brother in indonesian and which he got along with his brother carter — on the right side of his ribcage. he has the quote to new memories tattooed on the inside of his left arm — reference — something he got shortly after he moved to bali. he has the word clarity on small, uppercase font on the right side his neck. on the back of his right upper arm, he has two hands — reference. he has the word power on the back of his left hand. there's the quote self consciousness is heavy along his right hip. on his left collarbone, he has the quote dum spiro spero which translates into while i breathe, i hope and on his right collarbone, he has the quote esse quam videri which translates into to be, rather than to seem. he has the quote and still i rise in bold, uppercase and small font on the back of his neck. on the back of his left ankle he has the word tallahassee in uppercase and bold font, representing the city he was born, and on the back of his right ankle, also in bold font, he has 1993, the year he was born in. for his and ally’s daughters, on the inside of his upper right arm, he has maya shaped to form a heart and, likewise, ivy on the inside of his upper left arm. additionally, he has the sentence ten planes in cursive, recalling when alice and him first started dating and he mentioned how he’d fly ten planes for her. PIERCINGS: he has two piercings on his left regular lobe. VOICECLAIM: daniel caesar. ACCENT & INTENSITY: jordan's accent is somewhat of a hybrid thing — it's not a strong and prominent new york accent but it's also not the closest to a philadelphia accent. growing up and just as he moved to new york, it was easy to place how there was a philly accent to his way of speaking... slowly but surely, it started to fade away and nowadays, he has more of a faint new york accent. ALLERGIES: none that he knows of. PHOBIAS & FEARS: trypophobia. MENTAL & PHYSICAL ILLNESSES: none so far. ALCOHOL USE: sometimes, mostly on social situations. SMOKING: yes, he’s been trying to reduce it but he still does smoke. NARCOTICS USE: if he's in the studio, completely stressed out and needing a way to get creativity flowing, he does smoke weed.

The Walled City of Cartagena

I’ve been wanting to visit Cartagena for many years. I was a little worried that it might be really touristy, especially since I read that cruise ships dock there.

But after visiting for 3 days, I can happily say that it was a very enjoyable place!

Cartagena has a lot of old world charm with a distinctly laidback atmosphere and colorful colonial architecture.

The weather while we were there was perfect, roughly 90-95 degrees without too much humidity. (I like warm weather :)

The streets weren’t overrun with tourists like they were in Venice, Italy and the city is very walkable with plenty to see and do for several days.

We stayed outside the walled city at an Airbnb in the residential area of Manga.

It was a leisurely 20 minute walk to get into the center of the walled city from there.

Below are some pictures from our visit as well as a synopsis of each of the places we ate at. Scroll all the way down for the pictures

Cartagena Restaurants and Food

La Mulata – not recommended

Although ranked #1 on Tripadvisor, this was the absolute worst meal I’ve eaten in a long time.

Things got off to a bad start when we ordered a green mango smoothie which was basically water flavored with a few drops of mango juice.

We then got our main course (we only ordered one since we weren’t that hungry and portions tend to be large). And it was terrible. The shrimp were definitely imported and probably frozen. The fish was some sort of white fish that also was probably frozen as it had no flavor with the texture of mush. And even the vegetables were frozen! We left our half-finished plate and set out to get another meal and dessert elsewhere.

Gelateria Tramonti – not recommended

We were in the mood for gelato after dinner one night and decided to try this place out. Unfortunately, it was pretty standard. Not good, not bad either. I actually prefer the popsicle place (La Paleteria) just next door. The flavors there are more unique e.g. (tropical fruits) and ice cream better in my opinion.

Se Volvio Prispri Coffee Shop – recommended

We ended up stopping at this bakery twice. The first time we were going to get juice but the line was too long and we ended up going elsewhere. The second time was after our failed dinner at La Mulata. We were still hungry after not finishing our food and decided to order a ‘Posta’ lasagna. A fusion of Colombian and Italian.

Posta Negra or Posta Cartagenera is one of the beef dishes cooked over a long period of time and is one of the specialties from Cartagena. I saw it on some menus in Bogota, but decided to hold off eating it until we arrived in Cartagena. The lasagna here was a delicious and rich dish with a beef sauce slightly sweeter than what we ate at Restaurante 1533. I think I like my lasagnas on the savory side, so would probably try a different dish next time I come back here.

The funny thing we noticed here was that everyone wore facemasks for food hygiene. And there was even a diagram posted on the wall demonstrating how to wear the masks. Yet, each and every one of the employees (6 or 7 of them) were wearing them incorrectly. Picture a surgeon wearing a face mask, then picture them pulling it down so it rests on their chin with their nose and mouth completely exposed. That’s how they wore them. :)

Pezetarian – recommended

Having been eating a good amount of meat on our trip we wanted to switch things up and eat some lighter fare with fish. We thought we’d give this Colombian sushi place a try and it was pretty good for non-traditional sushi.

We got two rolls and a ceviche and that was plenty for two people. The fish was fresh and the flavors were light.

Sierva Maria – recommended

This was our favorite place to get fresh fruit juice. The reviews say the service is bad and it’s absolutely true.

The two times we went in there the cashier and the juice maker were both on their phone talking as they took our orders. They also took their time and didn’t really seem to care about their job. I was worried the first time the juices might not taste good, but they did! We had guanabana, lulo, guava, and maracuya. Guanabana with milk was my favorite!

Refresqueria La Estrella de la India – recommended

This was the best meal of our visit in Cartagena. It’s a locals place that I found when searching on google maps for fish.

It’s like an open air liquor store with a tiny kitchen on the side. So you get a nice view of the street and fresh warm ocean breeze blowing through.

There are only about 10 small tables and they offer a small menu of 5-7 choices.

You get a 2 course set lunch which includes soup for 12,000-16,000 pesos ($3-4) and you will leave stuffed. The fish was fresh and food good! It came with coconut rice, a little salad and plantains. When I go back I will definitely make sure to eat here.

Restaurante 1533 – recommended

There are hundreds of restaurants to choose from in Cartagena and I read the reviews of the top 100. I was on the fence for this place, but what helped us to decide to eat here was the comments describing it on another blog – practicalwanderlust

We came here for a set lunch and made sure to try the Posta Negra. (We walked by the night before and asked when they serve it, and it turned out to be the next day for lunch!) So we made sure to return.

The lunch was similar to the Refresqueria above, with soup as a started and then rice/salad with the main.

The posta negra was good. Like any beef stew that has been cooked for a long time, the beef flavor will be rich, dense and concentrated. The flavor was slightly sweet and very savory. It reminded me of soy sauce almost. But I don’t think they use soy sauce.

I read one recipe uses Coca Cola. Maybe that’s it! Just kidding I really don’t know what they put in it. I just know it tasted good and I would go back here if I wanted to eat it again!

Oh La La Bistrot – recommended

This is a French owned cafe that we passed each day and seemed to be promising based on the reviews and menu. We stopped by one morning to have breakfast.

We started with two fresh juices -tamarind and guava. Both were very good and naturally sweet.

Then came the arepas with egg. They were deep fried and crunch on the outside. Inside the corn shell was the egg. Although kind of heavy, it was very tasty. I wanted to come back for lunch/dinner, but as it was our last day we didn’t have time. :(

Crepes and Waffles – recommended

This is one of the major chain restaurants in Colombia. They have locations outside too in Europe and Central America, but it was my first time eating there.

We ordered flambeed crepes (since I just made Crepes Suzette before leaving) and wanted to see how they tasted down here.

Well, they were quite different. In fact, they came with a thick 1/4 inch layer of caramelized sugar. The sugar wasn’t exactly brown, but hard and clear.

The crepes were tender and vanilla ice cream not too sweet.

The alcohol flavor was still noticeable and overall brought everything together. Without the alcohol it might have been too sweet. Plus, I think I still like my Crepes Suzette more:)

Cartagena in 3 days

Looking back I think 3 days was just enough time to explore the old city of Cartagena.

Overall, we had a great time in Colombia and look forward to going back sometime in the next few years!
