First Ever McDolibee Opens In Manila!

In a shocking twist of fast-food fate, McDonald’s and Jollibee have announced the grand opening of their love child, the McJolli Fusion Hut, in Manila. In what some are calling a desperate attempt to salvage their diminishing influence in the Philippines, McDonald’s appears to have thrown in the greasy towel and joined forces with its local nemesis, Jollibee.

The McJolli Fusion Hut promises a menu that combines the best (and weirdest) of both worlds – think Aloha Yumburger with a side of McSpaghetti. It seems like a classic case of “if you can’t lick ’em, join ’em.” Rumor has it the mascot will be a hybrid creature named Ronald Bee, sporting a bee head and a clown smile, symbolizing the unholy union

As the fast-food giants attempt to create a harmony of flavors, only time will tell if this collaboration will be a match made in culinary heaven or a recipe for disaster. Stay tuned for the gastronomic soap opera of the century!

Rice Is Never Mentioned In “Bahay Kubo”

In a culinary twist that could make even the most seasoned chefs raise an eyebrow, the Philippines is importing a staggering 3.5 million tons of rice while its citizens consume approximately 16.4 million tons annually.  Simple math dictates that if Filipinos reduced their rice intake by just 25%, there will be no need for importation.

It’s a rice paradox of epic proportions – importing a staple when you’re practically swimming in it. If Filipinos could resist the siren call of unlimited rice at restaurants, and bottomless rice cookers at home, a national crisis might just turn into a comedy of carb errors.

Picture this: a nation daring to defy the rice bowl status quo. Outlawing “unli rice” at restaurants could be the first step in this gastronomic revolution. Imagine a world where portions are controlled, and rice bins are no longer bottomless pits. The potential benefits extend beyond economic savings; it’s a prophylactic measure against the rice-fueled diabetes epidemic.

As the world’s top rice consumers, China and India, also top the charts in diabetes, it’s time for the Philippines to take a stand. A rice revolution – because sometimes, less is more, even when it comes to the humble grain.

Let our schools make the memorization of the song, “Bahay Kubo.” mandatory. There is a reason rice is never mentioned.
