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...

Minestrone Soup, Grilled Shrimp Cobb Salad, and Banaba Iced Tea from Gourmet Farms Philippines

 


Carmina has place herself to eat only soup and salad for her meals each day. Having to gain those extra pounds you need to start reconsidering how you look and your own figure.

Not because someone is telling you that you look different that your cheeks are starting to look puffy that runs on my dad's side of the family.

I use to tease my dad when I see his face has become bigger. To me it remind me of a chipmunk my step mom would tease me why I call him that I said look at his face.

I want to stay away from someone to call me a chipmunk might as well hide out and start going on a diet.

Good thing we have to wear mask no one see our face only us.

Still not a good excuse anyway I found my minestrone soup is PHP 190.00 ($3.80) at Gourmet Farms in Grab application where I always order my food being delivered to my home.

I decided to eat some grilled shrimp cobb salad for my dinner. I figure I can just order in one restaurant.

For being humid in my room I decided to try their Banaba Iced Tea for a leaf that I know is healthy for you either way everything is ready to eat for the day.

One bottle of Banaba Iced Tea is PHP 90.00 ($1.80)





My dad loves drinking Banaba Tea but the tea bag version with hot water.

The outcome on my minestrone soup from Gourmet Farms Philippines.

I was disappointed my soup had slipped not sure how much serving I was suppose to have from my order. It wasn't secure enough probably something Gourmet Farms can reconsider when preparing their order.

It would be better they set aside the bread that inside the soup it was soggy in the soup. The minestrone was good just the cause of the spillage and the bread in the soup being soggy couldn't enjoy it.



The Grilled Shrimp Cobb Salad is actually something I had enjoyed it has the following ingredients romaine lettuce, grilled shrimp, corn, boiled egg, bacon, cheddar cheese and herb dressing on the side. 

Solo Grilled Shrimp Cobb PHP 165.00 ($3.30)
