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 .

Filipino chayote is
usually cooked with shrimp or pork combined with the vegetable in every
Filipino dish there is always garlic and onion in our dishes. This is the main
ingredient used often when we sauté vegetables together.
Our main seasoning is
Patis which is fish sauce to add more flavoring in our home cooked meals.
Right now, other
seasoning for example Knorr broth cubes and magic sarap is not allowed to use
when we cook in our home due to people who have other illness cannot be
added in their meals. This takes the replacement what is not allowed to be
used.
My mom adds MSG in her
cooking she said, it is only made of plant. In our home we are not allowed to
use that seasoning as well.
In this recipe you can
use upo which is another vegetable we also make in this recipe.
