Choobi-Choobi Initial Food Review

Shrimp in a Bag. Experience tasty shrimps placed in a bag together with corn and special flavors of your choice. You can choose from butter garlic, sauted in garlic, spicy coconut milk or whole choobang. I would say that the flavoring of this one is really great. You can even enjoy the flavor on rice even without the shrimp.

Pork Barbecue (Php30/stick). I would commend that this one is very tasty. The flavor of the barbecue can be savored not like ordinary barbecue where you can taste some charcoal. This one is superb.

Cha Tao Mio (Php195). This are stir fried snow pea sprouts. The taste is a it funny but I really like it. If you want to enjoy this one you can pair it with rice and it would be a match made in heaven. I am just wondering a bit since it seems it is a bit oily. I don't know but seems like a bit pricey for me.

Pancit Canton (Php160). The taste is good also although the presentation makes it look like a bit bland. A single serving is already good for 2-3 persons.

Stan's Fried Black Pepper Shrimp (Php440). 1 pound of fresh shrimps in Stan's original black pepper sauce. This is the star of all the food for me. The shrimps are so crispy and you can eat almost all of them. The sauce is also full of flavor.

Lola Pepang's Fried Manok (Php195 half and Php345 whole). This is also another good one. This fried chicken does away with the usual breading and instead uses something else to fried it perhaps less breading and pure oil. Although I would say it is a bit salty but I like it.

Choobi Pata (Php445 M and Php 465 L). Crispy pata that is crispy on the outside but is soft and juicy in the inside. Yes, they have proven that and the crispiness is 99%. I had never tried a crispy pata that is as good as this one.

Congratulations indeed to all the staff and the owner.
