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.

Tikoy comes during the month of February in celebration of Chinese New Year.
Tikoy is made of glutinous rice that has been pounded and shape into a circle like a cake form that is flat. You can it in Eng Bin Tin or Chinese deli.
There are different types of flavor to choose from tikoy that becomes available:
- White Tikoy
- Brown Tikoy
- Muscovado Tikoy
- Red Bean Tikoy
- Sweet Corn Tikoy
- Ube Flavor
- Pandan Flavor
- Some people scramble the egg into a bowl and dip the sliced tikoy than fry it under little amount of cooking oil.
- My favorite way cooking tikoy is just like a turon. Instead of using banana I would add slice tikoy with jack fruit. You can find my recipe in Filipino turon.
- You can add banana with sugar and cinnamon powder with tokoy wrap it up in a lumpia wrapper.
Tip:
The reason why I don't like frying with egg it is hard to get it from the pan. It spread and gets sticky afterwards.
I find it easier to wrap in a lumpia wrapper and stays form inside being wrapped up.
Tikoy is very popular and it becomes a popular gift during that time.
Tikoy is best fresh and should be refrigerate after been used. I prefer to slice it up and place in a Tupperware. Once you place it in the refrigerated it can be hard to cut into pieces.
Once the tikoy is in the fridge for a long time it tends to get molded in a later period of time.
