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. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

Pako Salad Recipe

 



In the Philippines we use all sorts of vegetables to make into a salad pako in English is Fiddlehead Fern. You often see pako mixed with salted egg, tomato and onion with a homemade dressing. The best match with this salad is any fried fish of your choice.

Pako Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Kilo Fresh Pako leaves
  • 1 - Red Onion (slice)
  • 2 - Ripe Tomato (slice)
  • 2 - Salted Egg (slice)
Dressing Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Cup - White Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp - Black Pepper
There are two ways to make your pako salad some people prefer it raw others want it cooked all depends on how you want to eat it.

For us we prefer ours to be cooked before we eat our pako by doing this you just need to boil water add the pako leaves cook for a short time and strain the pako.

Preparing the Pako Salad:
  1. Transfer the pako on a serving plate add onion, tomato and salted egg 
  2. Mix the dressing ingredient together
  3. Option you can pour the dressing or set aside until you plan to eat your pako salad
I prefer to eat pako salad without any dressing due to the salted egg it is already salty adds flavor on its own.
