Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames.

Filipino Spaghetti Recipe Living Abroad

Sometimes in life we are overwhelmed in what is happening in our surrounding. We don't realize what is just in front of us. Our mind tends to drift and realize there are a lot of people who care for us  They express themselves in a different way. Some people when they are stressing they tend to go toward food. I am sharing with you my home made recipes. Filipino Style Spaghetti: I was told by a close friend that there is certain tomato sauce that taste different from the Philippines and if you buy the same brand in the States. For instance in the Philippines I usually use Del Monte Original Tomato Sauce. I was told the Del Monte Tomato Sauce is sour rather than sweet. So, I was able to try the a different brand while I was vi siting my home town and found you can use S&W Tomato Sauce which can be brought at Costco. I was able to use 1 and a half cans. Only problem they carry it in a large size. So, you will have some left overs. Of course you can use th...
