Perfect For the Family - Newly Opened Choobi-Choobi Branch in Oslob...

It took my husband and I sometime to go back home to my husband's town due to different conflicts at work and other activities.

Finally, last weekend, we found a short time of one day to go to Oslob and spend it with the family. Part of that was having dinner at a newly opened restaurant called Choobi-Choobi located at Cancuay, Oslob.

Allow me to share with you some of my insights for this restaurant.

AMBIANCE

Choobi-Choobi in Oslob has a native but elegant feel. The outside has some of their menu in huge prints and their famous shrimp. It was already dark at 6:00PM when we arrived so the lights were already lit up, there's even a huge restaurant name at the side of the main road so visitors and guests won't miss it.

The roofs are made of native nipa but the wood and build materials look elegant. There were nice and huge lights hanging and its a high ceiling so even though the restaurant is not air conditioned, you won't feel hot or humid. Perhaps it was because we went there during the evening. I wonder if its hot during daytime.

The furniture look very new and they also have their own comfort room area with around three cubicles for the men and women.

My favorite spot would be this wall right here with the sticker leaves:

SERVICE

It was not hard to look for crews because they are all around the vicinity., as you can see on the image above, they were cleaning up the tables.

The restaurant is still new so the crews were all optimistic in providing service and help. But I had to ask for a high chair twice before it was given to us, perhaps the first crew whom I asked for it forgot about my request.

Nevertheless, it was easy to find them and they attend immediately to their customers.

FOOD and PRICING

I have not dined in to any other Choobi-Choobi branch so I am not sure if they have the same price but for nine adults and one child, we paid a total of Php 2900+, it was not bad at all. Here are our ordered food:

This was crispy on the outside but very tender on the inside. The plate by the way is plastic, was really thinking it was native rattan made on the first look.

I can't recall the exact pricing but this is the family size, I really thought it would be bigger in serving but it was not that big, still, it was good, everyone loved it.

Baked scalloops of course is a must order but I didn't like this that much. Others didn't like it as well, it was just James (my husband) who ate like half of it.

Shrimp in a bag which contains sauteed in garlic shrimps with some corn cobs. This was a hit of course.

Everyone loved it and nothing was left on the plate or the plastic bag afterwards.

I don't know what's the name for this specific dish but its pork belly with sweet sauce sprinkled with some white sesame seeds.

It was sweet but with fats and you won't distinguish the pork fat unless you scrape that brownish sauce out of the way. We got two plates of these.

On top of that there were numerous cups of rice of course because rice is life for Filipinos. There were three pitchers of different tropical cold drinks and a bowl of monggos or Mung bean soup.

OVERALL

Everyone was satisfied with both the food and service so this si definitely a good spot to spend time with the family over dinner.

As an additional information, aside from this being a restaurant, they also have some viewdeck as it is facing the ocean. We didn't really see anything because it was dark.

If you happen to visit Oslob, I highly recommend you try dining in at Choobi-Choobi.
