Remember those mouthwatering classics that used to bring an instant smile to our faces at TGIFridays – Mushroom Chicken Mushroom, Fridays Mushroom, and Tostada Nachos? Well, let’s take a gastronomic trip down memory lane!
Retro Delights Reimagined
Flashback to about two decades ago when these three culinary heroes were the shining stars of the TGIFridays’ menu. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, decadently delicious, and profoundly satisfying. Guess what, folks? Your foodie prayers have been answered because these delights ARE BACK! Re-engineered to perfection yet retaining the nostalgic charm, what could be a more delightful blast from the past?
Mushroom Chicken & Mushroom: The Comeback of Comfort Food
Feast your eyes (and taste buds!) on the return of the magnificent Mushroom Chicken Mushroom. Imagine sinking your teeth into a succulent, crispy fried chicken breast smothered with sautéed mushrooms and a blanket of melted mozzarella cheese. Accompanied by crispy fried shiitake mushrooms, fluffy rice, and a dollop of creamy radish cream garlic sauce, this dish is an epic encore of a timeless classic.
Tostada Nachos: Your Blast from the Past
Do you miss those delightful Tostada Nachos that accompanied so many weekend gatherings and post-work chill sessions? Well, they’re back and just as delectable as you remember – crispy tortillas heaving under a mountain of refried beans, seasoned ground beef, and oozy melted cheese. Served with vibrant salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and a sprinkle of spicy jalapeños, these nachos are ready to rock your world once again.
Room for Shrooms? Fridays Mushroom is Back!
Made room for shrooms yet? Make some space in your meal and your heart for the Fridays Mushroom’s grand comeback. Whole fresh shiitake mushrooms, enveloped in a light batter and deep-fried to golden perfection, served alongside a zesty aioli dip. As an appetizer, a bar nibble, or a side dish, they’re a joy to munch on with your beverage of choice.
TGIFridays is stirring up the menu, blending a dash of nostalgia with a pinch of excitement. So why wait? Relish these revamped classics at your favorite branch. And don’t forget to pair your meal with a glass (or more!) of their limitless mojitos for that perfect trip down memory lane.

For mom and dad, a pack of Oat Krunch paired with their morning coffee might just be the combo they need to get them ready for their day. This fiber-rich cookie product is made by Munchy’s, one of Malaysia’s leading biscuit brands.

Calling all spicy lovers—the spicy chicken sandwich you’ve been waiting for has arrived.
Jollibee unveiled the Spicy Chicken Sandwich Supreme, the sriracha-hot variant of the highly acclaimed Chicken Sandwich Supreme. The original variant was lauded for its generous chicken fillet which extends beyond the buns, guaranteeing crunchiness in every bite and a flavorful and juicy chicken thigh fillet.
This newly launched variant continues to capture the real goodness of flavorful chicken in a sandwich but is now packed with the spiciness you’ll love. Customers can expect a spicy marinated juicy chicken fillet with sriracha-hot dressing, double-breaded for a satisfying crunch in every bite.
“The Spicy Chicken Sandwich Supreme has everything there is to love about the original sandwich—large fillet, unmatched crispiness and juiciness—plus a spicy kick which people would definitely enjoy,” said Pam Reyes, Assistant Vice President of Handhelds. “It’s not a one-dimensional kind of spicy—this sandwich delivers on spiciness without compromising the flavor.”
The Spicy Chicken Sandwich Supreme is available in select stores nationwide for PHP 179 (Solo) and PHP 239 (with Fries and Drink). Price varies. Drop by your nearest Jollibee branch and treat yourself to a sriracha-hot, crunchy, and juicy bite via dine-in, take-out, or drive-thru. You can also opt to have it safely delivered to you via the Jollibee delivery app, JollibeeDelivery.com, #87000, GrabFood, and Foodpanda!
