Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What is the smallest hill you’ll die on?

[–] heliosef 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chicken McDo > Jollibee Chicken Joy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@heliosef @the_yaya

No! Hahahaha.

Jollibee Chicken Joy is better than Chicken McDo. (At least those produced here in the Philippines.)

^_^

[–] heliosef 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does the quote go?

I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Hahaha. But for real, medyo nahihilo lang ako sa mantika ng Chicken Joy now, but I used to love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@heliosef Ganito siya lumabas (attached screenshot).

But, yeah, mamantika nga. Ginagawa ko, lagyan gravy.

Although if there are more options, Uncle John's chicken and KFC Philippines chicken are better.

Uncle John's chicken, it's crispier, less grease, and consistently big. Sa Jollibee, if it's a franchise store it's small; but if it's handled by JFC itself, it's big.

While the chicken of KFC Philippines is soft and tastier, on the medium size.

Hmm… Mang Inasal too? Still, I'll pick Uncle John's or KFC Philippines over Jollibee and Mang Inasal.

Yung sleeper ko sa local fast food chicken is Kipp's. Dalawang branch lang alam ko: sa Megamall and Southmall food courts.

I can't explain the flavor, pero parang combined Uncle John's and KFC siya, if you haven't tried it yet. Absolutely unhealthy, though.

@heliosef Ito? https://twitter.com/kippschickenph

Haha, I will try it! ^_^

[–] heliosef 2 points 1 year ago

@rom @heliosef

That I'm not sure. I only recalled reading how franchise stores basically have more freedom, and they have an option to choose their own source (for example chicken) as long as they use the same recipe and pass HQ's quality tests.

Since then, whenever the chicken is smaller, I assume it's a franchise store that decided to source independently. Because the ones that come directly from JFC are from big chickens.

I guess the best way is to ask.

Hmm… that gave me an idea, track and mark branches that are franchises and have small chickens. ^_^;;

"franchise stores basically have more freedom, and they have an option to choose their own source ... as long as they use the same recipe"

That's weird. 🤔 I don't know it for a fact, but I doubt* that's true. Franchises are notorious for controlling what store owners do. Allowing a different source means less money. And I doubt they'd share the recipe with anyone. Stores don't mix marinades and sauces themselves. Food are typically provided already ready to cook.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@evelyn @rom @heliosef

Yep, it is weird. There are strict guidelines for franchises. Sadly, I can't find it anymore. But, it makes sense as an explanation why some stores have small chicken (like last week, a certain store along Kalaw their chicken obviously came from a small breed; not the big breed Jollibee is known for); even though there isn't a reported chicken supply problem this year.

Or maybe, franchises have an option to order the big or small chicken breed from JFC? The small chicken breed is cheaper? But still, it's a question why JFC doesn't have the same breed of chicken across all stores in the Philippines, or even within NCR.

Like what I mentioned earlier, minsan na lang ako kumain sa labas, maliit na manok pa yung sa branch na 'yun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@youronlyone @rom @heliosef
Still finding it hard to believe. 🤔 Because for Jollibee to deliberately* supply different serving sizes and varying qualities is just bad business.

Surely Jollibee isn't that stupid.
Or maybe they are. 🙊

Anyway, those guys in the kitchen are not mixing marinades and waiting for meats to soak. They just put things in the fryer or on the grill. Pretty sure the food all come from the JFC commissary ready-to-cook.

Back to reddit na rin ba kayo? I was hoping mag-boom dito sa fediverse, pero so far downtrend lang ang mga post/comments. I'm just talking about c/ph and not the whole lemmyverse. Will still keep my account here para backup kung sakali magloko ulit si spez

[–] Companion1666 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lurking, yes. Engagements, no.

I still find some useful information on Reddit na wala sa fediverse. For now, fediverse is dominated by tech-savvy and privacy-conscious online users, and I am the guy who also look for both mainstream and indie scenes.

I believe Internet is a place for open, collective consciousness. Forget the Facebook, X formerly known as Twitter, Reddit etc., information will preserve and retrieve by digital archivers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never been back to that other place ever since I left mid-June. I just lurk here since I just don't have anything worthwhile to contribute here.

[–] heliosef 1 points 1 year ago

I comment here more than r/ph, but that's not saying a lot. Minsan sumisilip ako sa r/ph, but very rarely. Pero even before the API debacle, bihira na rin naman ako sumilip dun.

I mostly check Lemmy before reddit in general for news and updates. Pag wala lang discussion dito ako tsaka ako tumitingin dun, but not via the official app.

[–] wildcardology 1 points 1 year ago

Never.
