Jollibee is a Filipino fast-food chain, with 600-plus outlets there, across Asia and on our own West Coast. The Woodside branch is New York's first, and since its mid-February opening, expatriates have lined up for a taste of home, on weekends waiting as much as an hour just to get in the door. Jollibee is known as the McDonald's of the Philippines, and its menu will be familiar to anyone who's passed under the golden arches. Chickenjoy, Jollibee's specialty, is straightforward fried chicken, with moist meat, a crispy but not too thick batter and, when ordered spicy, a dusting of potent chili powder. After a passel of forgettable burgers, the menu heads for odder territory. Spaghetti is topped with a sweet, hot-dog-and-ham-studded tomato sauce, and is frighteningly addictive. Palabok Fiesta is the only recognizably Asian dish: rice noodles in a gummy-but-yummy sauce of fish flakes, pork, shrimp, egg and crumbled chicharron. The signature deep-fried peach-mango pie is crusty, intensely fruity and worth the wait. -- Matt Gross
