Erich Gonzales: Choobi Choobi Restaurant’s Muse

During Choobi Choobi Restaurant’s Grand Opening which was held at LimKetKai at May 1, Erich Gonzales their brand ambassador graced the event. When asked about her favorite dish at the press con., she told us (the media) that she seriously loves every dishes in their menu but her top favorite would be Choobi Choobi’s seafoods. Frankly, we’re in the same team! Side note: I kinda developed an admiration towards Erich starting that day when I noticed her off camera kindness and humbleness, on top of it: she speaks bisaya too!

Choobi Choobi Term Derived From?

You’ll be surprised to know that this quirky term also means “lingaw-lingaw kaon” (having fun while eating). When CDO Blogger’s president asked Choobi Choobi’s manager about it, he elaborately told us that this term was actually coined by a family (also the founder of this brand, if I’m not mistaken). He stated that “if they enjoyed their meal and had fun, they’ll cheer “Choobi Choobi!” it’s the same thing as “lingaw-lingaw kaon”. The statement part is not a verbatim, okay? haha!

How’s The Food?

Okay, I won’t lie, walay pasakay…to be honest (just like Erich’ answer! pede copy paste nlng nako iyang answer?? LOL), I loved all of their dishes served on our table that day. My personal favorite would be their Chilean Mussels, It’s amazing! I will definitely come back for that deliciously, mind blowing stuff. Shrimp In A Bag is a winner too. I tell you, they can assure you their seafood’s freshness level is 100 percent same goes with their produce. And Ohhh! the Choobi Pata (also commonly called crispy pata) is love!

Who Is Ah Fong in CDO?

Well, wrong Question…the right question should be – “What is Ah Fong in Cagayan De Oro City?” Although Ah Fong is pretty common name for a Cantonese guy in Hong Kong but for CDO, this name represent Asian delicacies and taste.

I must say in this city there are not so many option for this kind of cuisine, believe me! I am a Chinese food enthusiast and I grew up being used to eating chinese food both street food or restaurant, (and all other asian food such as Indian, Thai and Indonesian/Malaysian food)— and I have this certain standard set in mind (or maybe in my taste buds lol) whenever I’ll visit an asian restaurant. However, that expectations are USUALLY not met (how sad!)  – so stop looking and visit them soon! I would highly recommend their bam-I. Yummm!

Please like their Facebook page to get more updates and details about their prices and services. Please do dropping by at their new location at SM Mall, upper carmen.

 

Fried Chicken for Lunch

Met a long-time friend and decided to have lunch with her at Sunburst Restaurant for a change because the truth is, i rather have lunch some other place. Nevertheless, I’ve always wanted to visit this restaurant because I’ve heard from other girlfriends that the food is good and it’s affordable. Nothing beats a great lunch than an easy on the pocket yummy food, right? And So, i forgot the order but i have to order some chicken. fried chicken is the house specialty and yet, sorry to say, it was not-the-best in the world {i had better} but was o-kay, still managed to stuff it into my mouth, but what i love though, was their crispy chicken skin recipe.

Nothing memorable, but admire their interior design. if  i were to rate their food, maybe ill give them 5 out of 10, and 10 being the highest. I’m not comfortable eating while waiters staring at you, that is somehow awkward and i kinda experienced that with my girlfriend while having our lunch on that day. Anyways, leave me a comment below if you do not agree with me or to conform. peace~ ❤
