Warning: this is a long rant about pineapple rings in burgers.
I've always been critical about Jollibee's 'Double Aloha' Burger for having 2 patties instead of 2 pineapple rings. (Otherwise, call it Aloha 'Double Burger' instead! Makes better sense di ba? Hehe.)
And nope, you can never order an extra ring at Jollibee - it is simply not allowed. But here at Waves Burger - a nondescript hamburger joint along McArthur Highway that's become hugely popular among Maloleños - yes, you can.
Flexibility to meet each customer's preference, I think, has helped many startup food establishments thrive during the pandemic, and the food app delivery era, creating a market niche for customers - both young, like the ones I frequently see dining in here, and the older ones like me - who all value quality, indviduality, and taste.
A fair warning to the dinosaurs who refuse to evolve with the rapidly changing times. You can't just buy out other food and resto brands and hope to continue dominating the market - without innovating.
All things said, I enjoyed my Waves Double Aloha Burger with two pineapple rings, as requested. Even just one ring would have won me over, because the slice is thick enough to be felt by the taste buds melding perfectly with the patty, vegetables, and sauce - very much unlike Jollibee's super reed-thin slice that you can't feel at all, and which incidentally prompted the unsatisfied customer in me to demand an extra slice.
End of review. I'm going back to sleep. Hope everyone is safe after that 5.7 magnitude quake, especially to the folks out there in...

We ordered their Hamburger and I'm not sure what they call it there, but it's like the Ultimate Burger Steak from Jollibee. I love that it was seasoned well enough but not too seasoned to overpower the real beefy taste of the meat. Just like Jollibee's It includes fries at the bottom and the gravy was enough to cover 2 whole patties. Food was not too pricey. The serving is worth more that what you...

One of the crews were asked by the cashier to check the CR first then I heard water splashed to (possibly to cleanse) the floor, then pointed me towards the CR then the crew went straight to the grill, without washing his hands, then attended to...
