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.

Chicharron from Cabanatuan City, Philippines


Chicharron is made from fried pork also called pork rinds in other places. Otherwise in the Philippines it is called chicharron where you dip it with vinegar or spicy vinegar with hot chili peppers.

Sometimes they eat this while they would be drinking alcohol or just a snack just like how you eat chips.

We also add chicharron to our vegetable dish called pinakbet which is mixed vegetables.

This is not your common chicharron you see often people selling it are something different with no pork meat inside as well it is very thin and crispy.

My Aunt always gives this to me every time she would visit her hometown.

Too bad you cannot bring this to another country so when you come and visit the Philippines make sure you try and look for this chicharron from Cabanatuan City only sold there.
