Amazing (?) Aloha

When I was a kid, I always had 'pasalubong' from my dad everytime he goes home from work. Yes, I'm a -what you would call- a daddy's girl. He always spoils me with pasalubongs. Anyway, there were two things that I would always request for: 1) jolly hotdog or 2) amazing aloha. Either one of these should be coupled with a peach mango pie. Which I remember at that time, is half as big as its current size.

Unfortunately, amazing aloha did not stay long on the menu unlike the jolly hotdog and the peach mango pie. It was removed from the market at that time, returned after a few years (with Sam Milby as the endorser), and again, it was gone.

And now, it is making a huuuge comeback, literally! It's now made even bigger with two patties! Now this, I gotta try.

It's back! The all new amazing aloha, priced at Php99.00 solo and Php135.00 value meal. Burger bought at Jollibee Centris

 As advertised, the burger has two beef patties sandwiched between Jollibee's signature soft buns.

Looking inside though,  I was disappointed when I saw that the pineapple was rather pale. In addition, the honey mustard sauce was scanty. What used to be bacon strips were now replaced with bacon "bits".

Where's the bacon, honey?

The factors mentioned above made a big impact to the aloha's taste. The ingredients did not blend in well together, probably because there ain't too much dressing. I did not even feel the presence of the bacon. Unlike before, when the smoked flavor of the bacon was still lingering even after I finished the burger. The pale pineapple did not have much flavor to it.

The pineapple gave the burger an interesting texture, but it did not add much to the flavor.

In conclusion, I would have preferred the old and original recipe, made with a more flavorful pineapple and bacon strips. After all, these are what makes it "amazing aloha" right?


Ciao for now,
