Jollibee: fastfood… literally

Today, Jollibee gave new meaning to the term “fastfood”.
Launching their new line of “Sarap-on-the-move” variants of the classic Jolly Hotdog, Jollibee invited select members of the media, as well as a few bloggers to partake in a few rounds of adrenaline pumping karting over at City Kart before sampling their new Chili Cheese Dog and Bacon Mushroom Tops.
Yes, we got to zip around for a few exciting laps in those extremely fun go-karts with full gear — jumpsuit, helmet and all. But more importantly, we got a preview of the delightful new offerings from Jollibee.
The Chili Cheese Dog offers a mild kick with its spiced beef toppings and generous layer of cheesy sauce while the Bacon Mushroom Tops is a tasty treat with loads of sprinkled bacon bits, mushroom slices and cheesy sauce. Both sandwiches are hearty snacks and quite easy to munch on, even when on the go.
And if you’re wondering about the cost… the solo sandwiches retail at PhP 42.00, while the value meal goes for PhP 66.00. So if you’re looking for a quick bite with a lot of flavor, you may want to check out Jollibee’s latest treats.

Last night, I was able to catch The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor thanks to Jollibee’s special screening at the Greenbelt My Cinema. The flick was, as the previous installments, very entertaining. Full of witty banter, lots of action and a pretty straightforward story line. There were a few cornball lines thrown into the mix, but The Mummy series has never claimed to be Oscar material… so suspend any pre-conceived notions of this being a ground-breaking movie. It is a movie to catch purely for the entertainment value.
But before getting too in depth into the flick, let me get back to the real reason I made it to the screening: to check out the two burgers that were being brought back to the limelight by our favorite Pinoy fastfood joint, Jollibee. Yes, the Amazing Aloha and the Cheezy Bacon Mushroom Burgers are back, due to popular demand. And this time, they’re bigger — adding a second patty to the already scrumptious burger . Come August 13, you will find these two crowd pleasers in all Jollibee joints nationwide. I’m not a big fan of fruits in my food, but the Amazing Aloha could be the exception to the rule. As to the Cheesy Bacon Mushroom… being able to put some of my favorite burger add-ons is definitely a great way to enjoy my favorite (fattening) fastfood fare.
For those of you wondering about the price, the burgers only cost PhP 82.00 solo. If you want the value meal, it comes out to PhP 108.00. But, as an added bonus, Jollibee will also be promoting their Coke products via a free refill, everytime you upsize your drink.
So if you’re looking for a tasty way to enjoy a hearty meal, grab one of these Jollibee classics while sipping down on some ice cold Coke Light.
