5:54 Filipino-style spaghetti started off as a poor man's bolognese in the 1940s-60s. The usual meat and sauce ingredients were expensive, so substitutions were made to lower costs. Hotdogs to cut down on minced meat quantity, and banana ketchup to make up for the shortage of tomato supplies. The sweetness is generally a result of tweaking to suit local taste preferences.
@ddongjjang-r5f to my memory i know there are still some people who do use banana ketchup when ready-made spaghetti sauce isn't available or they do add it in with tomato sauce for added sweetness; most likely for nostalgic reasons or it's a much cheaper alternative
@ddongjjang-r5f Yeah I know that was before, which why I said "started off as". Of course the ingredients have changed over time, but the flavour profile is still the same - sweet. It objectively IS sweet compared to the traditional Italian equivalent. You literally said it is in another comment, so it's confusing that you're saying it "isn't".
@@king24kmWhen America colonised the Philippines in the late 1800's, they introduced various western cuisines, food items and canned goods, especially during the war periods - this included the good ol' hotdog. But yeah, longganisa has been the sausage in place long before that.
Hi Ben! As you were asking about the prices, I'm currently on my Study Abroad semester in the Phills and this is what it would cost: * Jolly Spaghetti Family Pan: P261 (4.64 USD) * 8 - pc Chickenjoy Solo: P604 + P24 for half OG and half Spicy (11.16 USD) * Peach Mango Pie: P45 (0.80 USD) * Extra Chickenjoy Gravy: P12 (0.21 USD), but it's not as big as in the US tho haha Which brings this to a subtotal of 16,82 USD without the sandwich and juice Strangely enough they don't have the exact sandwich and juice in QC where I live though. And you mentioned you'd like some veggies, but in PH, imported veggies are quite expensive like broccoli for example. So ig that's why it's not in Jollibees menu.
Pineapple quencher/juice is at P85/$1.44 The Spicy Siracha Chicken Sandwich before was at P179/$3.03 (Which was removed for some unknown reason) Gravy should be like x20
@ddongjjang-r5f That might play a part, but the main reason NYC is so expensive is the high rent, wages, and the cost of getting the food from processing to prep. Even with all that, it’s still way overpriced compared to other fast food spots in the city. I know because I lived there for a while.
filipino spaghetti is literally the epitome of a cheap luxury for filipinos, easy to make and it was really meant for kids that's why it's sweet, so a love hate relationship with it is the perfect way to describe it

Love your explanation/review right off the bat on the spaghetti. People either hate it or love it and totally understand what you're saying. Usually wouldnt mess with sweet pasta, but the setting and because its fast food, it passes.
Yeah, but look at the size everything in that table though. Those are easily double the size and portion of what they serve here locally in the Philippines. But you're right shits too expensive, for 5k you can buy a whole lechon. 😅
I have a weird combo that I always do whenever I've got a chance to eat Jollibee. What I do is, I combine fries and spaghetti together, the saltiness of fries and sweetness of spaghetti combined together just hits me.
Finallly! A Jollibee review! Glad you enjoyed it! The spaghetti is definitely an acquired taste. I love it, but I can see why people would be opposed to it. Every family has a different recipe and my mom’s spaghetti is more on the savory side than sweet. I hope you’d try their palabok, it’s actually pretty good. Make sure add some calamansi or lemon juice and mix it well. $100 for that is insane! I’m from the Bay Area and it’s pretty expensive out here but that’s way too much lol.
It’s likely that location doesn’t offer it, like he said they don’t even have the yum burger on the menu 😩 my location also doesn’t offer the adobo rice 😢
For anyone interested, the prices are WAY LOWER in the PH. You can get a combo 6 pcs. chicken joy with family spaghetti for P679, which is about 12 USD. If you add the other stuff, it's give or take P1000~ which is about 18 USD. Do note that some of the serving sizes such as the spicy chicken sandwich are smaller. The chicken size should be roughly the same if not slightly smaller. That said, you can buy almost 5x more food here (cuz the average wage is probably 5-10x less).
I mean if you pour that gravy onto the fries it could be like poutine, if you pour the gravy onto the rice you could make a curry rice with that crispy spicy chicken. The customizations are fun

I lived in Hong Kong for 4 years.. 35 years ago. And one of the things i used to eat at school for lunch was what they called beef stroganoff. They served it on spaghetti. Was a sweet thick tomato based sauce. And it's what i imagine the taste of jolliebee spaghetti tastes like having not had it before. UK does not have many jolliebee spots. I live in hope as i want to try the breakfast menu. Great vid Ben. Hope you try some more menu items as there menu looks fire.

Yeah I understand the confusion about the Jolly Spaghetti. It really is an acquired taste. As some people in the comments might have already told you, its flavor profile was due to finding a sustainable substitute for the short supply of tomato, which the surplus of bananas filled. It definitely isn't the case now but most Filipinos grew up to that sweet style spaghetti because it is a staple food in fiestas and birthday parties along with fried chicken and cake. That is why you see a menu item combining spaghetti + chicken in Jollibee.
It's honestly kinda hard to find a good donair in Toronto (where he was staying). I only know of a couple spots and they're alright, but not as good as the ones at home in NS.
@bubzillian oh shit no way eh. That SUCKS for people who have never had one. I live in pei I even make my own donair sauce it's super easy and so good.
@bubzillian super easy bro! Get evaporated milk. Not sweetened condensed milk that'll taste like the bottled shit that says " donair sauce " on it. Way too sweet cause there's already a lot of sugar in this recipe. So. A can of evaporated milk in a bowl/dish I then coat the top with about a teaspoon or so of garlic powder and use a fork to slowly stir/mix 1 cup of white sugar in so that it dissolves easier and not some clump on the bottom. I do the garlic powder before this step cause the stirring of sugar mixes it at the same time. Now get a little stir going and pour in a 1/3 of a cup of white vinegar. Don't over stir and just let it curdle and do it's thing in the fridge. If you stir it right up you'll "break" it. Give it a try and re comment what ya think I wanna hear it !
Finally! Next try adobo rice & aloha burger. Hope unl can visit the Philippines again & stay more than 2 days. There are over 7,000 islands there, many beautiful provinces you can explore.
Yay! Finally! Jollibee, been waiting for this! Hope u love it! ~Your Filipino viewer from Chicago! (Come back home here in Illinois, we have 4 Jollibee here)
This video is most pleasing to me. One day you’re just gonna get a random craving for that spaghetti and you’ll be so confused 😂. (Ima get Jollibee tomorrow) thank you!
LOVE your in-depth and "mukbang" reviews! You make everything look and taste so good...even when it's bad. Ha ha ha. I do love Jollibee since I have several near my area. They do some of the best fried chicken on the fast food market for sure. I'm not a fan of their "banana ketchup" sauce spaghetti, however. I'm a purist when it comes to Italian food and pastas. Also, please slow down when you eat that spaghetti and, don't choke! It looks like you don't even chew it! HA HA HA!!! Thank you for sharing. Also, their mango peach pie IS the bomb.
The jollyspaghetti imo is as fast food as a spaghetti can get. It isnt really supposed to replace aunthentic pasta dishes. This was made to be a comfort food where you just scarf it down, it is a guilty pleasure ngl.
Iv seen alot of these videos and everytime I watch them I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster. Showing us all the food it's calm and relaxed then just like the free fall biting into the food even two bites at once. Not sure if that's the way u eats in real life or just the videos. It is what it is but at the end of the day I do watch
Yeah I’m Filipino and I personally just never liked the spaghetti. I never really liked Filipino spaghetti in general either. Maybe it’s cuz I grew up in America haha. But yeah glad you liked it! Next time if you can, you should try the Palobok! That’s what I would recommend instead. Also if you get the chance to try the yum burgers that would be cool. Those are my personal fave
The sauce taste like ketchup (banana ketchup in the Philippines). That's why it reminded Ben of a better version of chef Boy-r-dee (canned pasta). I'd argue the taste of Jolibee's spaghetti is like the best item on the kid's menu. I can't defend myself when another adult asks me why I ordered it. I want it, I know it isn't "good" but I never needed to explained why I liked the "McRib" from McDonald's".
finally a filipino food hahahaha been watching you for years i've waited for this moment... anyways the spaghetti is mostly catered to children but filipinos also just naturally love sweet spaghetti cuz thats how we grew up
Good you first tried it in the US. In my opinion, US Jollibee Fried Chicken is better than in the Philippines. Im sure it’s the better oil that is used for frying. (Coming from a Filipino)
Oh no that’s where I’m gonna disagree with you. The chickens are only bigger in the us but flavor wise it’s better in the phillippines I just went recently and it was 2 times better than US Jollibee
Here in the Philippines, the delivery prices would be: 6 pc. Chickenjoy w/ Family Spaghetti Pan combo = *PhP 679 or $11.51* 1 Large Fries = *PhP 100 or $1.69* 1 Large Peach Mango Pie = *PhP 64 or $1.08* 1 Pineapple Juice = *PhP 64 or $1.08* Total price of the food would be: *PhP 907 or $15.37* Delivery fee would cost around an extra *PhP 50 - 250 or $0.85 - $4.24*
That's exactly what Filipino spaghetti is. It's what people with not a lot of money trying to make a dish with ingredients not readily available or not native to the Philippines. Of course now with globalization you can whip up a super authentic bolognese for cheap no problem, but the homemade, nostalgic, literal mom's spaghetti taste is now forever ingrained in Filipinos' minds.
I'm dating a filipina, i hated the spaghetti at first but it has grown on me since I don't think of it as tomato sauce spaghetti anymore. At face value, it is banana ketchup noodles and there are some chinese restaurants that make baked chicken with tomato sauce and noodles that taste similar.
My first time in Jollibee was when I went to PH couple years ago. I live in NJ/NY area now and I go get Jollibee’s every now and then. Great place with great food!
On our family's last trip in the Philippines, we could feed like 10-12 people at Jollibee for no more than $30, tbh. Like you could get a 2pc meal with rice and a drink for $4. Same with a chicken and spaghetti combo with a drink too.
The jollibee fries has like a ticking time to it. If it's still hot, i'd recommend to eat it from the sides while having the other meals you have (or eat the fries first) Cause when it's still freshly cooked, the flavor enhances. But as time passes, the flavor fades. I know it's kinda like pure common sense but the jollibee fries hits different from any other fries.
as a filipino, the chicken's definitely western inspired but the spaghetti is filipino style. almost every kids birthday party you go to has some version of the pinoy spaghetti and jollibee just made the generally accepted recipe
I've bought this same meal multiple times a week in San fran from 2017 til 2020 before I came back to michigan, I paid like 75 for that plus an extra 8 piece, I thought the speghetti was horrible, but my Filipino and hawaiian co-workers loved it, definitely the best fast food fried chicken period, the spicy chicken with steamed rice and gravy is top tier fast food, wish they had one in Michigan lol

A can of evaporated milk in a bowl/dish I then coat the top with about a teaspoon or so of garlic powder and use a fork to slowly stir/mix 1 cup of white sugar in so that it dissolves easier and not some clump on the bottom. I do the garlic powder before this step cause the stirring of sugar mixes it at the same time. Now get a little stir going and pour in a 1/3 of a cup of white vinegar. Don't over stir and just let it curdle and do it's thing in the fridge. If you stir it right up you'll "break" it. Give it a try and re comment what ya think I wanna hear it !
That mic is working overtime. ASMR
The flavours I think are very good contrasted against eachother, the crunch got me salvating. 😋 😋 😋
Do not show italians that spaghetti!
SPAGET

No doubt! The spaghetti is scary!

Finally! Next try adobo rice & aloha burger. Hope unl can visit the Philippines again & stay more than 2 days. There are over 7,000 islands there, many beautiful provinces you can explore.
Yay! Finally! Jollibee, been waiting for this! Hope u love it!
~Your Filipino viewer from Chicago!
(Come back home here in Illinois, we have 4 Jollibee here)
This video is most pleasing to me. One day you’re just gonna get a random craving for that spaghetti and you’ll be so confused 😂. (Ima get Jollibee tomorrow) thank you!
109 USD for that jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
If you go pick up that would only be around 65usd. His 109 includes delivery fee and tip, I think.
LOVE your in-depth and "mukbang" reviews! You make everything look and taste so good...even when it's bad. Ha ha ha. I do love Jollibee since I have several near my area. They do some of the best fried chicken on the fast food market for sure. I'm not a fan of their "banana ketchup" sauce spaghetti, however. I'm a purist when it comes to Italian food and pastas.
Also, please slow down when you eat that spaghetti and, don't choke! It looks like you don't even chew it! HA HA HA!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Also, their mango peach pie IS the bomb.
In the south some of us like to dip our fried chicken in mash potato and gravy even on the biscuits ❤
The jollyspaghetti imo is as fast food as a spaghetti can get. It isnt really supposed to replace aunthentic pasta dishes. This was made to be a comfort food where you just scarf it down, it is a guilty pleasure ngl.
The items you missed out on were the palabok and adobo rice which actually have filipino flavors
1:12 he knows what he did.
"Are these the world's crispiest fries?"
0:40 rare candid deen spotting
The way you eat made me hungry!!! Omgggggg ❤
Wow, this was epic! Do more like this!
Iv seen alot of these videos and everytime I watch them I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster. Showing us all the food it's calm and relaxed then just like the free fall biting into the food even two bites at once. Not sure if that's the way u eats in real life or just the videos. It is what it is but at the end of the day I do watch
That's 20$ max in the PH
for years ive been hoping he tries jollibee ! so happy he posted and got to try !
salamat ben !!
Never knew the day when THE BENDEEN eating jollibee would come
soooo happy you finally tried Jollibee❤❤❤
Yeah I’m Filipino and I personally just never liked the spaghetti. I never really liked Filipino spaghetti in general either. Maybe it’s cuz I grew up in America haha. But yeah glad you liked it! Next time if you can, you should try the Palobok! That’s what I would recommend instead. Also if you get the chance to try the yum burgers that would be cool. Those are my personal fave
The sauce taste like ketchup (banana ketchup in the Philippines). That's why it reminded Ben of a better version of chef Boy-r-dee (canned pasta). I'd argue the taste of Jolibee's spaghetti is like the best item on the kid's menu. I can't defend myself when another adult asks me why I ordered it. I want it, I know it isn't "good" but I never needed to explained why I liked the "McRib" from McDonald's".
Filipino spaghetti originated from Southern US spaghetti recipes.
I like how he actually goes through all the food and not just eat them
$109.99??? Please tell me you left a $70 tip? Ain’t no way.
Tipping a fast food restaurant? That's delusional
@ the Delivery Driver
Shits wild aye unreal
@@Dog8myhomework ahhh makes more sense that way
finally a filipino food hahahaha been watching you for years i've waited for this moment... anyways the spaghetti is mostly catered to children but filipinos also just naturally love sweet spaghetti cuz thats how we grew up
19:12 internationally known non-verbal way to say "pause"
Good you first tried it in the US. In my opinion, US Jollibee Fried Chicken is better than in the Philippines. Im sure it’s the better oil that is used for frying. (Coming from a Filipino)
Oh no that’s where I’m gonna disagree with you. The chickens are only bigger in the us but flavor wise it’s better in the phillippines I just went recently and it was 2 times better than US Jollibee
Here in the Philippines, the delivery prices would be:
6 pc. Chickenjoy w/ Family Spaghetti Pan combo = *PhP 679 or $11.51*
1 Large Fries = *PhP 100 or $1.69*
1 Large Peach Mango Pie = *PhP 64 or $1.08*
1 Pineapple Juice = *PhP 64 or $1.08*
Total price of the food would be: *PhP 907 or $15.37*
Delivery fee would cost around an extra *PhP 50 - 250 or $0.85 - $4.24*
What about the chicken burger?
@@Cleaw around 4-5 $
That's exactly what Filipino spaghetti is. It's what people with not a lot of money trying to make a dish with ingredients not readily available or not native to the Philippines. Of course now with globalization you can whip up a super authentic bolognese for cheap no problem, but the homemade, nostalgic, literal mom's spaghetti taste is now forever ingrained in Filipinos' minds.
As a Filipino I do prefer Italian spaghetti, but Filipino Style definitely grew on me over the years. I hated it the first time
I personally love it, especially w/ the spicy chicken
I'm dating a filipina, i hated the spaghetti at first but it has grown on me since I don't think of it as tomato sauce spaghetti anymore.
At face value, it is banana ketchup noodles and there are some chinese restaurants that make baked chicken with tomato sauce and noodles that taste similar.
My fillipina gf is always cooking adobo, longanisa, carbonara, sisig, and bibimbap
@ddongjjang-r5f it's tomato paste and banana ketchup. Go do some research.
Filipino spaghetti sauce is basically - ground pork/beef, tomato sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Very good comfort food.
The thumbnail on this one is crazy
11:12 Really actually ate jollibee like how a true filipino would. 😂
As a Filipino, the Jollibee spaghetti is okay. I'd rather have italian or home made spaghetti. Chicken is good for sure though.
My first time in Jollibee was when I went to PH couple years ago. I live in NJ/NY area now and I go get Jollibee’s every now and then. Great place with great food!
When he eats sounds like a damn ASMR eating video
i love how you put fried chicken, rice and gravy in one plate is how filipinos eat their meal in jollibee
Yelling at the screen: DIP the fries!
Whole reason you buy gravy.
Cant quite believe the lack of dipping. Ben is the greatest at this mukbang stuff but the lack of dipping in this video has cut me deep
Bro nobody dips gravy gng just cuz ppl eat normal don't mean nun😂😂
They have Jollibee in Canada too...all over Toronto. Shoulda got the adobo rice instead of plain rice lol best chicken and gravy!
100 DOLLARS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
yeah, if you buy $100 worth of food is gonna cost you $100
@@Ms-Islamova Looks nothing like 100 bucks worth lmao, family meals everywhere i've been are like 35 USD MAX
Probably got it on Uber eats with no promotions
@@Nagatoro87 no I said, if you order something for $100 then it's gonna cost $100, doesn't matter if you think it's worth or not
@@Ms-Islamova Ok? But why is it 100$ tho? Roughly calculate these items in most countries and it doesn't even reach half the price
On our family's last trip in the Philippines, we could feed like 10-12 people at Jollibee for no more than $30, tbh. Like you could get a 2pc meal with rice and a drink for $4. Same with a chicken and spaghetti combo with a drink too.
Finally!! After many years you've tried the Jollibee review, thanks Ben
The jollibee fries has like a ticking time to it. If it's still hot, i'd recommend to eat it from the sides while having the other meals you have (or eat the fries first)
Cause when it's still freshly cooked, the flavor enhances. But as time passes, the flavor fades.
I know it's kinda like pure common sense but the jollibee fries hits different from any other fries.
Is this the most chill guy in the world? Let’s find out.
yeah, yeah he is.
Summoning the Filipino community with this one
Crazy u and Quan eating jollibee on the same day! 💯 my boy
Filipino here. Spaghetti and fried chicken is a must combo in Filipino cusine especially during special events like birthdays.
I'VE BEEN WAITING EVERY DAY FOR THIS MOMENT AS A FILIPINO BENDEEN VIEWER. BEEN WATCHING U SINCE YOUR HAIR TUTORIALS BRO LETSGO
glad you love the chicken bro, it’s my favorite out of all joints too
as a filipino, the chicken's definitely western inspired but the spaghetti is filipino style. almost every kids birthday party you go to has some version of the pinoy spaghetti and jollibee just made the generally accepted recipe
Filipinos and black Americans have a lot in common. We also eat fried chicken or fish with a side of spaghetti. ❤
❤ The Philippines should make you famous. 😝 We love you! Jollibee can only be the greatest. 😀
@ 9:48 part and you are just enjoying OUR Jollibee! 😅 loving this video halfway 🥰

In Philippines, all of that would probably cost around 25$ or below. Delivery only cost 1$ minimum depends how far the food chain is.
That second bite of the chicken was pure instinct at that point after that life changing first bite XD
Love watching the way you eat Ben. We both eat like someone is going to take it from us haha.
I've bought this same meal multiple times a week in San fran from 2017 til 2020 before I came back to michigan, I paid like 75 for that plus an extra 8 piece, I thought the speghetti was horrible, but my Filipino and hawaiian co-workers loved it, definitely the best fast food fried chicken period, the spicy chicken with steamed rice and gravy is top tier fast food, wish they had one in Michigan lol
"Fried chicken and spaghetti.... who would have thunk it???"
Every black family in America Ben. This is a signature combo!
