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...

Dine Out with Top Fan Auntie Lorie at Great Emperor Restaurant


On our California vacation this year Mom Violy and Carmina had plans to visit Top Fan Lorie in Seattle unexpected plans changed.

Top Fan Lorie had informed us she'll be visiting her family in the Philippines on the month of September to October.

We figured since we cannot see each other in the United States we can always catch up a bite to eat at Dampa.

Mom Violy and Carmina had planned our meet up making easier on her we went closer to her area.

Reality is Mom Violy and Lorie have been friends for quite a while since I was young.

Aunt Lorie said she was craving for seafood. Mom Violy suggested Dampa. 

Great Emperor is what someone recommended us to try. They serve Chinese and Fiipino dishes.


Mom Violy went to the market to purchase some crabs and Maya Maya fish.

Carmina waited for Auntie Lorie to arrive.

Our large crab was cooked with butter and garlic.

Mom Violy met some new friends also coming from the United States visiting their home town.


Just in case you want to try eating at Great Emperor recommended is to get smaller size crabs and fish cooked for stew rather than what Mom Violy shopped at the market.

Here is their menu:
