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...

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 ...

#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 t...

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
