There's no place like home - Jollibee for our Filipino friends in HK

For those who has been to Philippines, this name Jollibee shouldn't be a stranger. This HK branch is in the heart of Central, next to Worldwide Plaza. Taking a combo meal is at around HK$35-40 as compared to HK$25-29 of KFC meal. The local Filipino maids seem not to care about it. Here they feel like home, at least a half day suspense feeling closer to home. Why bother with a few dollars more.

1. the deep fried chicken isn't bad and in general Filipinos are pretty good at deep frying.

3. Really feeling like home. 4. the entrance at the side street next to Worldwide Plaza.

Look like this Jollibee is more welcome than KFC as reflected by its price.
KFC is very quiet in LA for the past 10 years. Surprised that it can still survive.

But I don't know what kind of oil they use to fry the chicken, the smell is too "蘇".

I was told that overnight veggie oil may have the "so" smell.
Or sometimes the recycled used oil can have the "so" smell too.

Mmh.. it's palm oil and it helps to make the coating more crispy. SS, those re-used oil can't have the crispy texture. I can say Jollibee didn't use such re-used oil.

That was good, as re-used oil is not good for us so don't cook with re-used oil at all.
