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...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip s...
