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

      Chicken McDo > Jollibee Chicken Joy

          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.

            @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.

                @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. _;;

                  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.

              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.

    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

      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.

      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.

      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.
