One of the more popular imports of the Philippines - Jollibee!!! You might have heard of it. Anthony Bourdain certainly liked it! Foreign vloggers who want to get views from the Philippines usually feature Jollibee in their vlogs. They would have the Jolly spaghetti, the Yumburger, and the Chicken Joy. Instant cred for their Filipino viewers. This was my snack yesterday when I woke up. Let me say that it hit the right spots! What popualr food is from your country?

I understand Anna. Filipino style spaghetti is sweet and is way different from Italian spaghetti.

@allen0187 - They (spaghetti is a plural ) also look made with non-durum wheat, as they are too white.

@allen0187 Pretty good meal to eat since they are sandwiches.

Of course I know Jollibee but I am not fun of fast food. I prefer the traditional Filipino snacks like cooked ripe banana, maruya, Bibingka and more.

I would love to try that place; especially the spaghetti. Burgers are big here. McDonald’s seems to be the most popular. Not because it tastes the greatest, but because of the price.

That does look a great snack. I'm not really up with what makes a good snack here. Certainly the fast food chains seem to do well.

I am fascinated by Jollibee and wish they would spread here to the US. I'm sure most people know our most famous worldwide franchises, like McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, KFC, and Starbucks.

Hopefully, there is a Jollibee that opens near you. Yes, familiar with all those stores that you mentioned.

Oh, I absolutely know Jollibee! That Chicken joy and sweet Jolly Spaghetti combo is iconic. Portugal is heaven for one with sweet tooth . Our most iconic global export is the Pastel de Nata (Portuguese egg tart). It’s a warm, flaky, custard-filled pastry—best enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a dusting of cinnamon and a shot of espresso!
