EATS: Jollibee @ Festival Mall

Ahhh Jollibee. If you roam around the streets of Manila, there's a 90% chance of you spotting one or two (or four, or twelve...), Jollibee is the most iconic Philippine fast food chain. It serves fried chicken, burgers, sandwiches and even pasta. 

We went to the Jollibee at the Festival Mall's fourth floor. No doubt, it was really busy. If you're living in Scandinavia, Jollibee is as busy, if not much more busier than Jensen's Böfhus. 

So they're famous for their Chickenjoy, which to me is a really weird name for fried chicken. My sister had this. 

I had the Burger Steak! They're basically two burger patties smothered with some kind of special gravy and a bit of mushrooms. The patties were "eh". I needed more gravy and mushrooms though.

Some fries on the side. There fries are really good because their long and crispy. Highly recommend!

Honestly, Jollibee is just one of those things that you need to experience when you're going to Manila, or the Philippines. Just get some fries and a Coke or whatever, and just experience the atmosphere. I really don't know if you'll like or hate the atmosphere, but as long as you experienced it.

Festival Supermall

From panoramio.com

Currently (As of 3 January, 2014), Festival Mall is only composed of four floors, with an okay variety of shops, restaurants and kiosks. In my opinion, it's outside looks unappealing in some areas. It has two of each supermarkets and hardware / shops, and a department store.

Also, 'till this day (date above), it's going through (what they call) "A facelift like no other" or some other thing like that, in order to expand the space, and maybe bring some new life to a mall that opened in 1998. 

What Festival Mall is today (3 Jan) is represented by the picture above.

Here's a picture of what Festival Mall would look life after their facelift:

Based from the picture above, Festival Mall will look absolutely gorgeous from my perspective. I would say it would be more gorgeous than the Alabang Town Center.  

Back to it's features. The mall has two arcades, one of which contains a roller-coaster. Yes, a rollercoaster in a mall.

• Opinions

- I think that the mall is very child-friendly, because it does have attractions suited for children, such as a ride mocking a train going through various parts of the mall on the ground floor and a fun house on the third floor connected to an arcade, actually named Pixie Forest. 

- The mall has a numerous amount of fast food restaurants, if you're a person who likes to dine on fast food. However, I prefer the restaurants near the Alabang Town Center, which are more sit down and order than line and order before you sit down. 

- Finally, I think that the mall will be much more popular among the people when the renovation is done, and I can say that I am looking forward to go there when it is.
