Fresh scallops topped with butter and cheese

Choobi Choobi opened last December in Quezon City. Their name sounds Korean to some, but they’re a restaurant that serves Filipino comfort food. And the name actually comes from a Fookien word that means “to enjoy.”

One of the restaurant’s house specialties is Shrimp in a Bag (PhP395 per pound), which comes in various flavors including butter garlic, spicy gata (coconut milk), Cajun sauce, and Singaporean style. Since they grow their own shrimps, you can have the freshest and cheapest catch. You can also order Chilean mussels and scampi by the pound. Other dishes include stuffed grilled squid (PhP250), giant bamboo clams (PhP140 per piece), fried chicken (PhP345), lechon kawali or crispy deep fried pork belly (PhP205), and pork barbeque (PhP30 per stick).

Choobi Choobi opened its first branch in July 2013 at Parkmall Cebu. They now have 13 branches in different parts of the country, including Bacolod, Iloilo, Davao, and Cagayan de Oro.
