Goodbye, Bob's Crab Shack...Hello, Juancho's !!!

It was one afternoon when my girlfriend and I craved for some yummy crabs. It was a unanimous decision to go to the place which introduced us to tasty crab selections--- Bob’s Crab Shack in BF Paranaque! Last time we visited the place was few months ago. So off we went to Bob’s famous crab shack.

We looked for that familiar signage which actually spells ‘delicious and tasty crabs’. We were already planning which dishes to order. And we could almost taste the food. But, to our surprise, 'the crab shack' was no longer there. Literally, my girlfriend almost cried after we found out, or should I say, after we didn’t find the good-old crab shack which was famous for their buttered alimango and tortang alimango.

Instead of the familiar name, there we saw a banner which showed an unfamiliar name. “Who the hell is Juancho?”, is what we first uttered upon seeing it. At one point we thought we got lost. But we were certain it's the right place. Even the establishments beside the what we used to know as Bob's Crab Shack were there. "Are my eyes be playing tricks on me again?", i thought.

Later we found out that the said establishment is now managed by someone else. Bob gave it up to some guy. You guessed it--- Juancho.

So, initially frustrated in not getting what we went there for, we considered other places to eat and vent our building frustration there. But, like it's a blessing, a familiar face from inside the restaurant called us and asked us to get inside and eat there. She was one of the waiters who used to work at Bob's. She convinced us to eat there after telling us that nothing really changed in the menu. Juancho decided to keep the same old but delectable dishes on the menu and will just add more exciting and must-try options.

And then our tummies were filled again.

Same food. Same taste. Same place. But this time with a little twist.
