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...

Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean

 


Carmina didn’t feel like eating the food at home prepared by Manang V, which was beef nilaga and grilled stuffed bangus, due to the humid weather in the Philippines. Eating soup only adds to the heat, especially when the air-conditioner struggles to cool the room.

I decided to go for a salad instead. It felt like a good way to start eating healthy and looking for a place to buy one led me to Medley Modern Mediterranean.

I discovered the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad, which includes romaine lettuce, Israeli salad, wheat, fried eggplant, feta cheese, shrimp, and lemon garlic dressing, all for PHP 379.00 ($7.58).


I thought of getting something extra with my meal in case I wasn't in the mood for the food at home, making it worth the trip in one go. 

I spotted the Levantine Chicken Laffa, which includes chicken thigh, mixed greens, hummus, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, and mamba sauce, priced at PHP 299.00 ($5.98).


I had the chance to try the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean. The dishes were quite different from my usual choices, but it turned out to be a great experience as I discovered a new dish that I genuinely enjoyed.
