Want to restore a 40-year-old decoration to its former glory? Try these simple, safe cleaning tricks that won’t damage the finish.

Have you ever seen a decoration your parents kept, carrying it with them from another country or a previous marriage? Carmina realized that parents often hold onto items they've purchased in the past. While browsing Greenhill's shopping center, she stepped into  Mystic Gems by Bensani and saw so many nostalgic items that reminded her of growing up.  I pointed out to Mom Violy that she had a similar crystal tree decoration at home. She said it was forty years old and already dirty. The saleslady explained it could be cleaned easily with soap and water. Carmina decided to take Mom Violy home and bring the crystal tree decoration with her.

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.
