There's one thing about my Filipino family I'll never understand: Their craving for Jollibee. Just imagine, there's so much delicious local food all around, at home and in restaurants, and still they go for this overpriced copy of the infamous Colonel Sanders' KFC. And even...KFC's greasily battered chicken lumps are better than the tasteless content of the bee's buckets. Not crispy, not juicy, and not at all delicious.
Yesterday, as our house was suddenly full of visitors and with no time left to cook, they opted once again for a take-out from this unwholesome chain. We had fried chicken with comes with a slimy, indefinable brown sauce, and spaghetti (which remind me of the equally disgusting German Mirácoli - the more unfortunate among my countrymen actually take those for pasta).
A lunch, unforgettable only in the sense that the food sat very heavily in my stomach for the rest of the day.More
