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 .

Dine Out with Top Fan Auntie Lorie at Great Emperor Restaurant


On our California vacation this year Mom Violy and Carmina had plans to visit Top Fan Lorie in Seattle unexpected plans changed.

Top Fan Lorie had informed us she'll be visiting her family in the Philippines on the month of September to October.

Mom Violy and Carmina had planned our meet up making easier on her we went closer to her area.

Reality is Mom Violy and Lorie have been friends for quite a while since I was young.

Great Emperor is what someone recommended us to try. They serve Chinese and Fiipino dishes.


Mom Violy went to the market to purchase some crabs and Maya Maya fish.

Carmina waited for Auntie Lorie to arrive.

Our large crab was cooked with butter and garlic.

Mom Violy met some new friends also coming from the United States visiting their home town.


Just in case you want to try eating at Great Emperor recommended is to get smaller size crabs and fish cooked for stew rather than what Mom Violy shopped at the market.

Here is their menu:
