Hi JC Scull,

I'm glad that you tried burger steak before in Manila. Aside from this one, Jollibee offers burger steak supreme which consists of rice, fries, sunny side up egg, burger steak, and gravy. I hope you try it as well.

Awesome. I went to the Jollibee at University Tower in Manila and had something similar. It had a different name, which I can't remember right now. I think yours is a lot better. I am going to have my daughter make this for me. She is a much better cook than I am!!
