Carmina's review on Summit Hotel in Tacloban

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...

Carmina Eating Healthy at Olive Garden Philippines

It is not bad eating healthy food when everyone else is enjoying their meal that has meat and seafood.  Carmina has known to be different the way she eats her meal.  To other people they feel they cannot eat a full meal without any meat or seafood. Carmina is not removing everything, yet fish is allowed only when it is not fried.  Mom Violy asked where she would like to eat lunch. I said, I prefer if it was Italian food at least I would know there would be something for me to eat and enjoy my meal. I remember there is an Olive Garden in Gloretta Mall. I asked, Mom Violy if it would be alright to eat there. She gave everyone a budget not going over 1,000 pesos.

Mom Violy had debate on what she wanted to eat went ahead tried something new the fried eggplant with marinara sauce and si...

Carmina's Review on Mushroom Wonton Noodle Soup from Dai Tai Fung

Carmina has a new challenge for herself by finding food that has no meat in her food due to having skin allergies. I need to find other food that is recommended for me to eat. Before entering the Din Tai Fung , I went to check what food is available for me to eat just that I would be aware I'd have something to eat a meal. It was my first time requesting for vegetable broth instead of using the pork broth often used on wonton noodle soup. Actually, the food was delicious having mushroom inside the wanton.  Mom Violy complained yet she liked the food as well just she had requested pork broth for her portion. She felt the vegetable broth was bland on her taste.  If, I wasn't allowed not to eat any soy sauce I would have added it to my mushroom wonton and some chili sauce.  Next time when I can eat the food, I'd know the difference of how it would really taste until now I am doing well eating vegetarian meals. Mom Violy wanted me to eat some fried rice. I had informed h...
