Dinner at Chibugan Restaurant - Deira Dubai

Tintin and I got a table on the second floor while we waited for her friend Grace.

August 25. Deira, Dubai. United Arab Emirates. 

In Tagalog, "chibugan" primarily means "food" or a "meal", but it can also refer to an "eating place". It's often used in the phrase "Chibugan na!", which means "It's eating time!" or "Let's eat!". 

As a noun: "Chibugan" can refer to the food itself or a place where one eats. 

As part of an expression: The phrase "Chibugan na!" is a common and friendly way to call out to people that the food is ready and it's time to eat.
