Making Jollibee Fried Chicken and Spaghetti | But Better 

Jufran is pretty nice -- and it's inexpensive, even here in Alabama. I'll have to try UFC sometime to see which I like better.

But it does really suck. Its to sweet

@@Prince-fe8hl Different cultures different flavour palates. There’s a reason why fast foods chains like McDonald’s or kfc have slightly different menus in each countries they are.

@@Prince-fe8hl or it's just not catered to your palate. Most Filipino food is sweet and savory and people here make their spaghetti that way.

@@Prince-fe8hl not for you hun. Lol

BAKIT JOSHUA BAKIT MO ITO GINAWA?!

Oo po

😭 😆

Lagot ka sa bubuyog

Kabayan!

I'm kinda interested to try it, tbh. Seems like it's built for a different flavour combination.

Just had it for the first time in my 33 years of life, today. Didn’t even expect it to be sweet but it was surprising and delicious. I would definitely make it again with better noddles than Jolibee is slinging

That sounds similar to how people feel about kraft mac n cheese here in the states.

Try McDonald's spaghetti

@@01_xxm76 honestly both restaurant's spaghetti tastes the same in the Philippines

@@valenciazaramaea.5603 ehh the spaghetti I've tasted in mcdo tastes much more sour and more different from jolly spaghetti

Im pretty sure there are loads of recipes

Kinda like the old McDonald's spaghetti.

Filipino Pride, Filipino Numbawan!

oh thats a neat fact. thanks for sharing. i had no idea

banana sauce is a staple in my household but my mom never told me thst was the reason why, thanks!

Marami ng kamatis ngayon, bakit matamis padin? Basta meron lang maicomment kahit fake news

Hi jeanelle!!

Didn't expect you here

Jeanell is here ❤❤❤

Grew up inhaling Jollibee Chickenjoy and amazing Aloha, didn't wanna believe it either. Tried the recipe for today's lunch and dang it is better. His gravy is way better than how they do it now in the Philippines. Like legit old school Jollibee gravy, the one that made it famous today.

sheesh agree

I feel foreigners would appreciate and enjoy palabok more if they got it from somewhere else that isn't Jollibee, like somewhere where it's made from scratch or something. I like Jollibee's palabok myself, but it's def not like the best version of the dish in the world The spaghetti though, yeah folks are not gonna like it at all unless they grew up in the Philippines

I agree, I like it when my coworkers make it. The palabok and spaghetti at Jollibee was not good, in my opinion. But Filipino food is good when it is homade. I love pork adobo and pancit with the pork rinds on top and the homade sweet 🍝.

@@Lexicon865I love it so much I make it at home so I can have it more often😂

@@Lexicon865and I’m not Filipino, just American.

Exception doesnt make the rule@@finleythegolden2909

I don't really enjoy palabok that much tho but I guess it's alright

@@cyb8490 me too though only in jollibee anywhere else? it's good

@@cyb8490 Did you eat it with 2-4pcs of Philippine lime/lemon (calamansi) squeezed though? I never eat palabok without it, tastes weird/bad tbh.

@@cyb8490 I prefer Mang Inasal’s palabok

@@casperstanden3017 How rude, don’t assume it’s disgusting as it’s part of our culture. Try it first.

I'm Italian and Filipino so I just can't deal with sweet spaghetti I'm sorry 😭

​@@bry120 Kung naintindihan mo ang comment ko, I was giving ang example ng acquired taste. Like for me.. hindi ko nagustuhan ang itallian spaghetti since kinalakihan ko ang filipino style. But nagustuhan ko din overtime. So itallian spaghetti, for me, was an acquired taste. Sa kanya naman, at sa ibang di pa nakakatry, ang filipino spag is an acquired taste. Gets? Totoo nga ang sinabi nila. Ang baba ng reading comprehension ng mga pinoy. Edit: @B T deleted his/her comment, out of shame probably. Here's the comment for context: ""Alam mo b ang ibig sabihin ng acquired taste? Hindi pwedeng kinalakihan mo tpos ssbhin mo n acquired taste"

Another Pinoy seeking foreign validation?

@ WTF you talking about. It's not just ANY cockcasian its PAPA! 🙄

@ not really. If any other race complemented filipino food, we would all be hyped. Its a pride thing.

@ its not even just Caucasian approval, im indonesian, i feel proud when my food is represented by ANYONE. it not just a caucasian thing, the representation just feels fucking good

@ what's with all the racist comments?

its really trash ngl

@@prudenciomangaoangiii403 it's actually good in NYC but it's bad when it gets cold

@@prudenciomangaoangiii403 its great where i'm at. not the best I've had, but miles above KFC and other chicken places.

From what I heard. This was a marketing strategy of Jollibee. For their kitchen exhausts placed and pointed directly to the sidewalk in front of Jollibee so that people walking through would smell the chickenjoy.

Meh. Its only delicious when its spicy.

What is MSG..??can you tell me..??

I’m not Filipino but I’ve always preferred a sweeter spaghetti sauce so I was really intrigued when I first heard of Jollibee’s and the concept of Filipino spaghetti. No Jollibee’s near me sadly, but I read about it and watched some videos. I bought containers of something called I think sweet Filipino spaghetti sauce and even ordered banana ketchup online! I finally got to make it and I LOVE it. Definitely different from an Italian type of sauce - which I also love - but I think it’s fantastic. I can’t believe I never heard of it until recently. Love the uniqueness and how dear it is to people.

I agree. I once lived in a household that abhors traditional italian spaghetti, but goes apeshit on sweet filipino-style sauce (including the ones sold on the streets)

As a kid I didnt even know there were other styles of spaghetti. I grew up in the US but in a Filipino neighborhood and we never called it Filipino spaghetti, just spaghetti. So the 1st time I tried tomato based spaghetti I was wierded out.

Based.

As someone who had a Filipino aunt when I was growing up, Eating her Spaghetti was some of the most fond memories I had. She didn't use Banana Ketchup but she did use a sweeter brand of Ketcup than the ketcups I am finding today in Most supermarkets. There's just something different about a sweet Ketchup that makes things taste so much better.

Where is Jollibee's official statement confirming that they are using banana ketchup? All I see is this urban legend getting posted on social media and said by vloggers but I haven't heard Jollibee validating this or any article of Jollibee validating that they are using banana ketchup.

@@retrotechpinas3640 All filipino spaghetti forever has been made using banana ketchup, obviously not just banana ketchup but yea.

The secret is annatto, that is why the sauce is red orange. I am not sure whether there is banana ketchup but there is definitely a tangy taste from annatto.

It didn't fail. The reason is he as a white man couldn't give a bad score to a minority group publicly in this "woke" climate we're living in that would've offended their culture.

@@retrotechpinas3640 They don't really need to put out an official statement since 90% of spaghetti in the Philippines is made with banana ketchup.

So are we looking for his HONEST opinion or are we looking for him to skew his ratings system to appease towards a certain group so that he won't hurt anyone "feelings" and don't want the viewers to judge him negatively as a white man giving what they think is a offensive rating?

Yea and balut is amazing

Dang, salamat in most Islamic dialects means feel better soon, never seen it be used as a goodbye before, kinda funny cause I imagined you telling Joshua to feel better soon after that fried chicken, diarrhea cityyyyy

Omar Allabban ‘Salamat’ in Filipino is ‘Thank you’

As a Filipino myself, I do NOT enjoy balut but I'm glad you had a blast in our country lol

Their fried chicken is god awful, like probably the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted

not the burger though.

@@mgoldenboyz7942 That means your taste is awful too lol.

@@justamrcreeper6467 One Pimp?

@@freakcan PMP = peach mango pie

Is there pmp in the US too??

ube pie > peach mango pie

Yes you got it since it depends on what you grew up eating Im a filipino and Im more on a the sweet sauce since thats what i have taste ever since i was a child. I have tasted the italian style when I'm on highschool and i prefer the filipino but i respect how italians made it since its there culture also i watch cooking shows and able to understand there recipes.

Agree, me and my family have always been used to Filipino Style Spaghetti, so when we tried spaghetti from a different fast food chain (if i'm right it's the "Italian Style Spaghetti" at McDonald's. We weren't a big fan of McDo, I love the sundaes though), my parents complained about it being sour or at least different from the usual sweet type

As a filipino, can I ask what's the holy trinity?

I wanna taste it so bad but the closest jollibee to me is 2 hours away😭

I kind of agree, because as a Filipina myself I grew up with sweet spaghetti. As I got older I couldn’t eat sweet spaghetti anymore liking mine sour and such. I just grew out of the overly sweet stuff. Even if it was extra sweet I can only eat a few small bites.

@joshuaweissman you forget the Banana Ketchup!

I don't think JW himself can handle that much sweetness

I'm sorry, did u just said banana ketchup?

@@lucasvhinever2817 yeah it's common here in the Philippines n our pride n joy

tf is banana ketchup 💀

@Ezanobi damn why gotta disrespect our country like that, find your own place homesick kid

When it comes to spaghetti taste it really comes from preference, maybe he is not used to sweet spaghetti that is why he likes it less, most reaction vids i have seen, yeah when it comes to spaghetti they did not like it because its too sweet. 😂

There’s none. The closest you can get them is London, I believe.

Yes

the dick riding is crazy

highly agree on this. ^

True

His does beat it

Chef John made that a few weeks ago.

Ayaw na ni Joshua ng tomato sauce na maasukal. Baka isuka na niya yung spaghetti n banana ketchup. Maglalasang karenderia na yang spaghetti niya...hindi na "but better"

@ wag naman racist. Ang sarap kaya ng Caucasian. Yummy

@@muraddiab6393 who?

@@bum116 Chef John. The RU-vidr that all RU-vid cooks look up to.

I had a similar reaction the first time wife (filipina) made her version of Jollibee's spaghetti. I liked it, but it was weird and different. She perfected her recipie and now over 10 years later, her spaghetti that she just calls, "Filipino Spaghetti" is the only spaghetti I will eat. Of course she still thinks Jollibee is better but I think that has more to do with childhood nostalgia than anything else.

yeah. Same reaction I had when I tried adding butter or sugar in my ommelette... Different food preferences, really

Im a filipino and i think that our culture of making things sweet is dumb because not only it ruins the real taste but it also makes filipinos think that the sweet spaghetti is the real version and they will dislike anything that isn't sweet like spaghetti

@@inagasiquiamco1840 I’ve been eating Filipino spaghetti for years but that hasn’t stopped me from enjoying other types of spaghetti. So I’m not completely sure what your talking about.

@@kaylemathewcomendador6964 well a lot of filipinos hate italian spaghetti based on my experience so yeah I may have over reacted a little but it doesn’t change the fact that some Filipinos out there think that the sweet spaghetti is the real thing and will absolutely hate the real italian version.

i also love the gravy!!! its the best for me lol

we put tomato sauce but instead of sugar, we use condensed milk

@@_uwu_9992 some use condensed milk but jollibee doesn't

@@irenesone lol, ik 😌 just wanna bring up my fam's little tradition with making filipino style spagettes using condensed milk

its a bee so it use honey....thats the secret ingredients of jollibee foods

@@adamsterdam9049 Mongolia.

And have a burned taste buds for about a week lol

It's not a good peach mango pie if your taste buds don't die from the scalding hot filling lmao

@@Nil_Sama Why even call it a peach mango pie if your taste buds aren't melted off, right?!

@@badxgrass EXACTLY!!!

One thing you got wrong, we had the banana ketchup during the 2nd world war, since we had no way to import nor transport tomatoes to factories, Maria Orosa sought for a way to substitute popular condiments using local resources and thus the banana ketchup was invented

Someone else commented that banana ketchup had to be created as an alternative since there was a lack of tomatoes after the war.

I love the banana catsup addition, here we have a few places that do pinoy spaghetti and it’s become comfort food for me, along with tapasilog

Most pinoys have a personality disorder wherein they rely heavily on others for validation specially from foreigners. You're one of them

Why does seek validation, it's kinda sad and shallow. 😭Makes one think there's really not much going on for Filipinos.

@@blackwater7183 not really we enjoy everyone's validation it makes us proud as filipinos that even though their culture is different from ours they still enjoy it and it makes us proud that we really do make incredible food

As an italian I love all our different types of pasta. I’ve tried y’alls and honestly I enjoyed it and its flavor

Filipinos barely had enough tomatoes to make sauce for spaghetti or pasta back in Post-WW2. So, in a brilliant moment of desperation, They used bananas as a substitute. That’s why it ended up being so sweet. Okay. Don’t @ me but *tomato sauces are gross.*

Sweet spaghetti is absolute garbage, and I'm surprised foreigners can even stand eating our own spaghetti. Like, tbh hotdogs are a fine substitute for meatballs, and cheese isn't often standard, but it works, but the sauce... The spaghetti sauce we use is atrocious. Every birthday party, every restaurant both fast food and high class, sweet spaghetti is served and it does not mesh well at all, especially when paired with all the other food you may be eating with it. Standard Spaghetti being sweet and sour provides a perfect mix that makes eating the dish delectable and overall a pleasant experience, especially if you add more to it like basil, oregano, a lot of different greens to add to it. Specially made meatballs make some beautiful spaghetti dishes that are incredibly filling and incredibly delicious. My whole family and I have tried doing anything to change the taste of Filipino styled Spaghetti, it hasn't changed shit. The sweetness of Filipino spaghetti overpowers anything you put into it. I would have to spend more than necessary just to make the spaghetti more balanced, and at that point, I should have just made regular spaghetti. Eating Filipino Spaghetti is like eating sugar, it's super fucking sweet. I would not be surprised if the leading cause of diabetes in the Philippines can be linked to people who consume Filipino Styled Spaghetti.

@@inagasiquiamco1840 bruh hahahaha

I'll probably eat any tomato based spaghetti, but my favorite will always be the pinoy style sauce

solo i dont think its designed for childrens specially.. its naturally sweet cuz the banana ketchup and brown sugar not white sugar... which is a love or hate relationship for dayuhans in phils... and no im not pinoy but a white guy ask any filipino if they have white sugar in their kitchen... prolly a HARD NO 🤣

​​@@inagasiquiamco1840 the hell i care. 🙈

I totally understand. Cold sesame noodles are my go-to order for chinese take-out, so I imagine it's a similar experience

Cold spaghetti hits when you’re high lmao

Thank you! someone who understand the power of cold jollibee spaghetti.

Because it was meant for kids that loves sweet stuff

Lol of course they agreed - the whole point of jollibee spaghetti is that it’s sweet..

"Unholy and kinda good" seems like an apt description. I don't understand why the banana ketchup needs to be an ingredient because it does make the dish so sweet, and yet Imma eat all of it, every time.

But why would you go to church's for biscuits

@@vincentvincent7004 cause it's sprinkled with blessings

I agree about Church's biscuits. Once upon a time Popeyes biscuits reigned supreme. They were once buttery and fluffy. Now, I call them murder biscuits. If you don't have something to drink, you could choke because they are so dry.

Not sure about your estimation, since I see children liking the "sweeter" taste and through that nostalgia becomes "family tradition." I do see people "growing out of it" though.

I do like it but only if served hot😭

Ask them kids bruh.

Talk about Filipino sasuge, sweet tooth but fukn food. I love sweet foods, but of a sweet tooth 😅

Had a now ex Filipino gf, god damn dude. I tried the chocolate meat and that was pretty good too 😂😂😂, and I know not everyone eats it either. Also I’m Mexican so maybe cause the cultures are really similar, but still the food is A++.
