Torontonians were reported to have been lining up for 10 hours on Easter Sunday just to get a taste of the chicken from Jollibee, a fast-food chain that has long been touted as the ‘McDonald’s of the Philippines’.

On both sides of the Pacific, Jollibee has long been a staple of Filipinos living inside and outside of their home country, serving up traditional American dishes, such as burgers, fries, chicken and spaghetti, with a uniquely Asian spin.

The chicken and gravy, which you can order at the location at a two-piece Chickenjoy, is arguably the most popular dish on the menu. A pro tip for maximum enjoyment from a seasoned Jollibee customer: ask for extra gravy sauce. You’ll need it for both dipping the chicken in, and then to pour over your rice.

The iconic Jollibee red and white mascot was first seen on the front step of the chain’s premiere restaurant in the Philippines in 1975. Since then, it has grown to become the small Southeast Asian country’s largest fast-food chain and this Scarborough location will become Canada’s third location, as there are already two operating in Winnipeg.

The chain is hoping to expand their Canadian fleet to include a location in downtown Edmonton and another two stores in Ontario, one in Mississauga and one in downtown Toronto.

If you do reside in the GTA, then you can make a trip to Scarborough Plaza to check out the Filipino fast-food offerings from Jollibee.

You can get tickets at either Ticketmaster, where you will be able to grab seats for as little as $32 USD, or at the main Peppa Pig site where they are selling VIP passes for $179.50.

• Exclusive access to the Peppa Pig Party after the show
• Healthy snacks and water
• Meet and greet photo opportunity with the Peppa Pig cast on the pink carpet

Recycle an old device, get a free slice! Each April, to mark Earth Month, Pizza Pizza Canada holds its Slices for Devices campaign at traditional locations across Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. Now in its 15th year, the Pizza Pizza team has helped divert more than 17,000 electronic devices from landfills.

Through Pizza Pizza’s partnership with the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA), customers can drop off their small electric devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras and handheld gaming devices, and get a head start on spring cleaning, while helping to responsibly recycle the precious and sometimes delicate materials found in electronic devices.

For each device, Pizza Pizza will give patrons a coupon for a free slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza. All devices are safely recycled by EPRA. As an added benefit, proceeds from the recycling will be donated to Children’s Miracle Network through Pizza Pizza’s Slices for Smiles Foundation.

Pizza Pizza express or non-traditional locations such as gas stations, schools, arenas and theatres are not part of this program. This event runs from April 1 – 30 2018. Limit 2 devices per customer.
