But if that's what you're expecting when you order Jollibee's Jolly Spaghetti, you're likely to be disappointed. That's because this spaghetti is made with a sweet sauce. It does have savory elements, particularly because the spaghetti is topped with beef, but the sweetness is evident from the first bite."
