Yummy Choobi Choobi in Panay

Kaye was the one who told me about Choobi Choobi in Panay.  It was newly opened and was a restaurant from Cebu.  I honestly had no idea what it was all about, but she said that she tried it and it was very affordable.  

So one Wednesday, we decided to have a lunch date together with our kids.

We ordered two shrimp dishes:

 Butter Garlic



Singapore Style Salted Egg 


Among the 2 dishes, I like the Butter Garlic more.  The Salted Egg was also good, but I am very partial to butter.  Hahaha!!  So imagine, I was scooping the butter sauce and putting it on my rice!!

When we were there a month ago, they were still offering UNLIMITED PLAIN RICE order.  But when we came back a week after (we loved the food so much that we came back on the same day, the following week!), the restaurant took it out saying that some diners were abusing the unli-rice.  What I suggest is to charge the rice, per head (for every diner) so there won't be sharing of any kind.  But hey, that's just me!

When we went back here the following week.  We ordered just one dish to share - the Butter Garlic!

Food is good, the size of the shrimps are quite big and the price is affordable.   Imagine, there were 3 of us adults and we just ordered one serving of the Butter Garlic.  Imagine how much our bill came out when we divided it into 3!  Hahaha...

I can't wait to bring my Panget here.  Well, the only down side is that I will need to peel off the skin of the shrimp for him.  YES, he's that lazy!  Hahahaha...

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
