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...

Sinigang na Salmon Belly and Pinakbet


Lately I have been wanted to eat something with salmon but in a soup base and the place where I order my Filipino dishes doesn't have it available.

I am unable to go to the market and buy my salmon. I cannot cook in the kitchen being prohibited due to the situation at home.

Carmina decided to order food that had Sinigang na Salmon Belly it is really Authentic Filipino my reason why I say it is super sour from the tamarind that they use and spicy from the chili green pepper that has probably open while stirring the soup.

Carmina was able to eat it with half cup of rice at home with a small bowl of Sinigang na Salmon Belly and the other portion can be eaten for dinner.

My way of saving money and eating my food twice for a meal less than $10.00 in USD I was able to eat enough for the day.

For those who plan to visit the Philippines and are on a budget they also have set meals that range from PHP 200.00 ($4.00) to PHP 300.00 ($6.00) depending if you want rice in your meals.

I was debating if I was going to order Sinigang ng Salmon Belly Set. It is a small portion of Singigang ng Salmon Belly in a bowl with Pinakbet and rice for PHP 149.00 ($2.98)

I figured I also need to consider what food I will be eating for dinner later so might as well get the full order of Sinigang na Salmon Belly for PHP 229.00 ($4.58) and Pinakbet PHP 130.00 ($2.60) not including fee from Grab application and tip to the rider who is picking up your order from Salo to be delivered to your home.

The food had arrive secured with masking tape on the side to make sure it doesn't spill during the process being handle from the Grab rider to your home.

Pinakbet


Every time we receive food from restaurant the rule is always transfer to another container before having it consumed and the plastic container it comes from is to have it washed being able to be used again.



Once food has been cooled off and you have leftover it is best to transfer in the plastic container and place it in your refrigerator a way your food doesn't get spoiled especially we live in a humid climate in the Philippines.

Your food can be reheated when you plan to eat your leftover Sinigang na Salmon Belly and Pinakbet from Salo.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising Sinigang na Salmon Belly and Pinakbet from Salo just something to eat for my meal for the day.
