YUM BABY YUM!


TOP 3 FOOD CHAINS IN THE PHILIPPINES 


TOP 3

KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN (KFC)

Oh that Gravy! Oh that Chicken! Oh that Zinger! My oh my! That's KFC!


Harland David Sanders or Colonel Sanders is the one behind our Top 3 Food Chain, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or simply KFC. The secret recipe for its chicken which consists of 11 herbs & spices in a very well guarded secret and is under lock & key. The company claims that there is only 1 copy of the recipe, signed by Sanders & written in pencil on a sheet of notebook paper. KFC's main focus is chicken but has been selling new products to a more complete meal, different chicken-based products as well as items & desserts to complement its recipe.



CHICKEN

Remember those times when you crave for those suuuuper delicious Chicken with gravy dripping? That really is finger licking good!

Choose from Original Recipe or Hot & Crispy chicken and couple it with steamy rice for a meal that hits you just right. 

The last time I ate these oh so good chicken was just this June 27, even though it was only delivered and it is not that hot anymore, still, it is so good. Well, for me, KFC has the BEST chicken among the top 3 food chains. According to the information that I've gathered, their specialty really is chicken, that's why KFC's chicken is stupendous!

SANDWICHES

       
Hungry like a beggar? Hungry like a zombie? Well then, let's eat this Ziiiiiiiiiiiinger, or Twiiiiiiiiiiiister! These sandwiches are one of the best!

KFC's signature big sandwich made with Hot & Spicy chicken fillet with fresh lettuce and topped with rich Mayonnaise in a soft Kaiser bun.

I remember the time that I think that the Zinger nor Twister doesn't taste that good, but then, we had a bet that whoever wins, the loser will have to treat the winner Zinger. The good news is, I won the bet! The bad news is, KFC Zinger is the prize, and unfortunartely, I don't like its greasy scent that's why I don't like to taste it. But when  I took a bite, it was great! It made me want to eat all the Zingers in all KFC Branches! Just like when Squidward in Spongebob Squarepants first time, he just can't get enough, just like meeee! :D

JOLLIBEE

Burger yum? JolliHotdog? Jolly Spaghetti? Hey! It's Jollibee! The biggest fatty but the cutest bee in the Philippines!

Rose from humble beginnings to be one of the leading fast food chains in the Philippines. In 1975 it is used to be an ice cream parlor serving hot meals and sandwiches. With the coming of foreign franchise, Jollibee experimented with hamburgers until it came up with a recipe geared for a definitely Filipino flavor. The companies rapid growth is attributed to its creative and innovative marketing programs, its dedication to research to continuously come up with products that will appeal to the Filipino palate & consistent staff training to provide product knowledge & quality service.

SPAGHETTI


Spaghetti to lengthen your life span? Whether it is true or not, try this Jollibee Spaghetti, this mouth-watering meal that will satisfy your appetite.

Jollibee's sweet style spaghetti sauce-now the tastiest and meatiest ever from Jollibee! With the chunkiest slices of savory ham and sausages, loaded with ground beef, served over premium quality noodles and topped with lots of cheese. Jollibee Spaghetti - the Spaghettiest!

This is my favorite of all spaghetti meals among the top three food chains. Whenever I crave for spaghetti, Jollibee Spaghetti is the solution to all my 'craving problems', and this spaghetti makes me feel like I've been locked out of heaven. HAHAHAHA. Kidding, but for real, this Spaghetti is just so good and yummy.This delicious meal comes great with Jollibee yum burger and fries.

and for our TOP 1... *drum roll* TADA! ITS

MCDONALD'S!

I AM NOT DEAD! Mcdonald's did not kill me, if by eating their food, or a more sinister motive ala something out of The Insider.


Mcdonald's is an international franchise that enjoyed major success in the Philippines. It was brought in by George T. Yang through Golden Arches in 1981. It quickly became a huge success & Mcdonald's branches began sprouting up all over the major cities in the Philippines. With its continued success came innovations & some new products were introduced that are more flavorful to suit the Filipino taste as consumers are not very familiar with bland food that needs additional condiments & spices you eat. Mcdo also started 24/7 restaurants and delivery that are available in any branches.

BIG MAC

"The Big Mac reflects the hopes and aspirations of America, and to the world it is an attainable and recognizable symbol of the American Dream." -A.H.T. (A Hamburger Today)

A double layer of sear-sizzled 100% pure beef mingled with special sauce on a sesame seed bun and topped with melty American cheese, crisp lettuce, minced onions and tangy pickles.

Everyone's first time is supposed to be memorable, but not that much. At least, that's what Hollywood taught me. After living 5, 475 days on this earth, I was about to have my first Big Mac! (Well, it is my sister's birthday gift for me) I never heard the jingle, never took a bite of one, and never smelled from afar. I was curious. Perhaps even fry-curious. The Big Mac, for all intents and purposes, is really big (for a petite girl like me). But as we all know, it's not about the size of the fries, it;s about the motion of the 'Mac. When our order came, the sandwich is perfectly balanced. I was surprised that the beef took such a backseat to the veggies but came together so well. I had to admit, I was pretty impressed (A+ for that!). Unfortunately, by my second bite, roughly two minutes in, the sandwich completely disintegrated in my hands spewing lettuce shreds and special sauce all over the place. After that one stupendous bite, flaws started to perk up as the sandwich entered Bizarro territory. If the euphoria of that perfect bite had been consistent throughout the sandwich, I'd have no qualms giving it my highest rating. I soon realized that despite its perfect exterior and legendary reputation, it wasn't perfect. Do I regret it? Err, not that much. But if I were you, you should always give it a shot. Try this big and tasty Big Mac. The new headline when it comes to burgers and sandwiches.

FRENCH FRIES

Snack time, Break time or just plain Hungry but don't want to eat that much? McDonald's french fries are so incredibly addicting that they can't be from this world, right? Or not? Why not 'Taste it to Believe it'?'

Golden on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Made with quality potatoes and cooked in our Canola oil blend for zero grams of trans fat per serving. Now that's an epic bite.

It was time to put my taste buds to work and head back to McDonald's. Me? Craving? Craving for Mcdo Fries? Yeah right. :) Well, for me, three things to be exact: crispness, salt level, and consistency. Yes, they carry great potato flavor locked inside their airy interiors, but when we're all perfectly honest with ourselves, the warm snap of a never-limp Mcdonald's fry is what gets us, and it's the overwhelming consistency of the fry batches from Mcdonald's to Mcdonald's which makes such a uniform experience. Every time I eat Mcdo Fries, I can't help myself to eat more and more, and to be honest, one large fries is not enough, I tend to eat more and more and I can't stop. Its like the fries are talking to me, saying, "Hey there my pal! Come and eat me, I'm your all time favorite! You don't want to miss me, right? You know that I'm yummy and crispy and I know that you can't resist me!". And now, here I am, typing this review, eating my all time favorite, Mcdonald's Fries.

Well then, here you go, this is my point of view about the Top 3 Food Chains here in the Philippines. I know that some of you will not agree, but it is MY P.O.V., why not try to have a blog and do your very own Top 3 food chain or just simply be a Hedonist that does Food Review? :)


Have a good day my Friend!
