On a Monday evening, my brothers and I had a group dinner at Choobi Choobi restaurant located at Robinsons Galleria mall, Cebu. Just like last week’s Shakey’s dinner, we met after our youngest brother finished his shift from work. His office is just located near the mall so we decided to hang out and have a meal.
We tried searching for a pizza place but couldn’t find one. Robinsons Galleria is still a relatively new mall and even if there were number of shops already open, a pizza restaurant was not yet present. We settled for a store that offered Pinoy food at reasonable rates.

Choobi Choobi comes from the Fookien word which means “to enjoy”, that’s why the restaurant tagline says “Lingaw Lingaw Kaon!” This family restaurant offers mostly comfort Pinoy food.
They are proud in growing their own shrimps and claim to have the freshest and cheapest shrimps in the city. But aside from their shrimps, they have a few notable favourites including Crispy Pata, Crispy Adobong Kanding, Lola Pepang’s Fried Manok, Mama Pina’s Fried Herbed Spring Duck, Stuffed Grilled Squid, etc.

While checking out their menu, we were a little lost as to which food items to order. They really have plenty of dishes which looked appetizing. In the end, we opted to order a meal for a group while adding a serving of crispy pata.
Below is the meal we ordered:
Groupie Meal 2 – 999 Pesos
– Utan Bisaya soup
– Patrick Star Extra Cheesy
– Krispy Kalamari
– Salted Fish Rice platter
– The Half-pounder – butter garlic
– Pancit Canton
Fruity Surprise – 130 Pesos
Choobi Pata Fiesa – 565 Pesos
Mango Shake – 110 Pesos
fruity pitcher drink and mango shake
scallops
Shrimp in a bag
Among the food items we ordered, what really stood out for me were the crispy pata, fried calamari, shrimp in a bag, and the baked scallops. The soup was not bad too.
I was also happy with the fresh mango shake as it’s been awhile since I drank fresh fruit shakes.

The meal for the group was really worth it. There were four of us and we were all quite hungry so having an affordable food package while tasting a bit of their offerings was a good decision.
We would like to try some of their house favorites next time.
