Jollibee

More ubiquitous than a Starbucks or McDonalds, this is the Philippines’ largest fast-food chain serving hits like Chicken joy (fried chicken) with rice, Jolly hotdog, a bright red, cheese-topped sweetish spaghetti and palabok (a native noodle dish mixed with shrimp gravy and topped with pork cracklings and flaky smoked fish). Round up your meal with a peach mango pie or ube langka (purple yam and jackfruit) pie and you’re good to go.
