for filipino food..marami sa blacktown talaga.. my sister lives near there, may restos that sell palabok, my stores that sell pandesal, chorizo bilbao filipino brand, hipon and etc. but kasi blacktown from my area is almost 1 hour and 40 mins. by train... it's too much hassle to go for me but for people near there.. blacktown is the place to go for pinoy food.

and nasa clause po ng jollibee aside sa franchise fee.. whoever wants to franchise dapat may own property kasi di po kasali ang rental ng place ang franchise (only training/ equipment/ food) property dapat po sagot pa yun ng franchisee..
baka dito sa forum..may maraming capital.. franchise naman po kayo ng jollibee:D

If you eat fastfood here, its cheap if you buy from fastfood, cheeseburger meal at mcdo is $4.50, subway meal $8. a sub is only $4.95 if its not a meal so its still reasonable.
The expensive thing here is drinks in sg its like $1 sgd here drinks outside is expensive $3-4 aud.

Kung gugustuhin nila kaya nila gawin yun...
pero ayun sa aking bubwit... hindi daw makapasa sa standard ng AU pagdating sa food ang Jollibee kaya nde sila makapaglagay ng store dito....which proves na mataas ang standard ng AU pagdating sa food at mababa ang standard ng Jollibee aaawwww hehehe...
secret lang yan ha, ayun sa aking insider reporter

if mataas ang standard ng AU and mababa ang standard ng jollibee.. then i think there is something seriously wrong happening in chinatown :P
jollibee can do it on their own.. but some of their stores in california, USA are franchises... so i think they prefer it that way.. maximize profit/ lower cost for them.

hindi talaga sila makapasa sa standard ng AU...
ayon sa aking insider report... nde daw maganda or nde makapasa yung oil na ginagamit nilang pamprito...
kung papalitan daw nila yung oil, hindi ma-aachieve yung crispyness ng chicken..

2 months into my work, I have always bring baon with me more than 90% of the time... It is cheaper to cook and bring your own rather than eating out which would cost at least $7 here in Melbourne.
