Even before the concept of sweet-savory captured the imagination of the rest of the world, the Filipino palette had already fallen in love with such a pairing. Traditional Filipino food pairings are proof of this - mangga't bagoong, barbecue, beef pares, kare-kare, and the ubiquitous pinoy spaghetti.

Jollibee's Amazing Aloha Champ is a uniquely Filipino fast-food item. The addition of a pineapple slice, together with bacon and a honey mustard sauce to the world-famous Champ hamburger is pure unadulterated pinoy genius. The Amazing Aloha (in Champ and double patty form) has been a come-and-go item on the Jollibee menu since the '90s, and it is due time it made its return,

The Amazing Aloha Champ is us taking the American hamburger and making it our own; it deserves to be enshrined in the pantheon of Jollibee classics - jolly spaghetti, chicken joy, burger steak, jolly hotdog. Food that instantly brings up happy, nostalgic memories - of family, of friends, of good times.

So Jollibee, please, please, please...make this version of the Champ available again for every Filipino to savor and enjoy.
