another frequentfamilyhangout in mactan alfresco is choobi choobi (fookien for "to enjoy"). despite it's foreign-sounding name, it's menu courses are mostly filipino all-time favorites.
ever since its inception in 2013, tons of cebuano folks from all ages have developed a fondness for their delightful value meals, its phenomenal growth buoyed by the famous tagline: "lingaw lingaw kaon!" (eat for fun/relaxation). from its first branch in parkmall mandaue, choobi choobi has now expanded to nearly 20 branches nationwide.
whenever we swing by their mactan store, we never fail to order their signature dish: stan's fried black pepper shrimp (php 395) - luscious shrimps deep-fried with a special crispy batter garnished with their unique in-house sauce.
choobi choobi claims to grow their own shrimps and declares having the freshest shrimps in town. no objection to this claim; everyone in ourfamilyabsolutely agrees!
try their krispy kalamari (php 175) - dipped in sweet & sour sauce, this savory squid dish is another sure winner.
