Jollibee’s Aloha burger returns
Due to public demand, Jollibee is bringing back Amazing Aloha Yumburger.
The burger has 100-percent beef patty, fresh lettuce, crispy bacon, pineapple ring, cheese and honey mustard dressing.
The limited-edition Amazing Aloha Yumburger was first offered in 1996.
Relaunched in 2013, the late Anthony Bourdain called it as a “very tasty burger.”
It also had limited runs in 2014 and 2017.
“The Amazing Aloha Yumburger represents that sweet-savory combination that appeals to the Filipino palate,” Jollibee AVP Cathleen Capati said. “This combination is not commonly found in other burgers or snack offerings, which is why many people crave for it.”
The hamburger retails for P85 (single patty) and P115 (double patty).
