Jollibee

Last year 2015, Jollibee open a store in Lucky Plaza Orchard and it was havoc! The queue were super long every weekend, and even though I made a few effort to go there and try the famous Philippine fast food, it was always packed! And that includes one time I met my brother at 830am to walk there for breakfast and the crowd was unbelievable at such an early morning that we didn't even made it into the building!

 

But at last, it was meant to be, cause early this year 2016, Jollibee open a branch just right below my office at Changi City Point! But again, the queue was super long! I didn't get to try it, even when I come down for dinner at 8 or 9 pm! The queue was insane! But one day, my lunch hour was pushed to 3:30pm, so me and my PM went down and the queue was short! So we went in! Finally!

She has tried it before and she recommended I try the spaggetti and fried chicken. It was kinda expensive for such a small portion of food actually. The above cost around SGD6 or SGD7 without drinks. But the spaghetti was surprisingly sweet and nice, although I can't say it is healthy. And the  fried chicken has a nice fragrance to it. Actually, I like the batter of the fried chicken very much. It was very simple and not salty. It was definitely better than Arnold's Fried Chicken at Payar Lebar, and actually quite comparable to KFC on a good day.

So yeah. I did eventually went back for 1 or 2 more times. I love the smell of the fried chicken, but the chicken is not really as tender as KFC's.  The queue is still long, especially on Friday lunch time, but I'm glad it is now so accessible to me!
