Revisiting Jollibee

When Matt and Kyle were tots, we were frequent diners of Jollibee. Being there did wonders to their fickle appetites. Buying them those meals with free toys almost guaranteed stress-free feeding time. However, we have long put to rest the kids' (ours included) cravings for the cholesterol-laden fried goodies - burgers, chicken, french fries, etc. We found other alternatives that were more reasonably-priced, in Cebu's (still cholesterol-laden) local fare - ngohiong, puso, lechon, etc.

Yesterday, after watching Matt's basketball game (their team, the Jesuit Eagles, won over USP), we all trooped to Jollibee Ayala for snacks. All the yelling and the cheering got everyone famished, I suppose. It was Jake's first treat at the establishment since he was born. Like before, we indulged in the same crunchy chicken, and burger plus we got me a petite salad. Jake loved the choco sundae and finished off most of one cup (part of it I ate... small part of it lang... hehehe).

As usual, we had a swell time, finishing off quite easily the small portions of food. Though it didn't fill the boys up as much as they wanted to satisfy their teenage (aka huge) appetites, it was still considered a welcome treat. Plus, we were all amused to look at Jake getting all messed up.

It guaranteed another stress-free meal, as I expected.

    I could see that Jake has consumed those value meals with obvious relish. Literally matakaw siya. But okay klang yon with him, Kyle and Matt because they are still cholesterol and triglycerides free.

    But for older ones like you, I think you should avoid them or you will experience, God forbid, what I underwent more than three summers ago.

    Also, refrain from the B.U.R.G.E.R. that I told you about. It is not good for your SPIRITUAL health! :) :) :)

    HI JERRY!
    Hehehe... I could still see the image of Jake feeding himself with the choco sundae...

    PAPARAZZI!
    Jake only had the sundae but he ended up the fullest among us considering the proportion of his size to the food he consumed!

    HI JOJO!
    KOREK! The "Jollibee" appeal to kids is really what we pay for, more than anything.

    HI ANALYSE!
    Yes we had fun. Its been a long time since we last ate there and doing that last Saturday brought happy kiddie memories of Matt and Kyle. Now its Jake's turn.

    HI PAZ!
    Aw.... sana meron dyan...

    HI VANGIE!
    Sayang naman if the service is terrible. Filipinos kaya yung service crew? That doesn't paint a good image for the outlet... I hope they improve. Sarap pa naman ng food.

    Nag-morph ang faces namin ni Jerry sa kids... Hehehe...

    HI ANNABANANA!
    I used to love their chicken joy but since I'm TRYING to cut down, I just have their salad. Yung petite size nga lang. :D
