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.

Carmina's Late Lunch Vegetable Cream Chowder from Old Baguio Cafe, Quezon City, Philippines

Carmina doesn't need to go to Baguio City to get some fresh vegetables. All she needs to do is purchase food that is ready to eat. Carmina went looking for vegetables soup for her meal. Carmina decided to order vegetable cream chowder from  Old Baguio Cafe . I had placed my order through Grab Food Delivery arrived with a brown paper bag and inside a plastic container it was sealed up no spillage.  The vegetable cream chowder was still hot placing it in a bowl.  It has bread floating on the vegetable chowder soup. The price of the cream vegetable chowder soup 250.00 pesos ($4.55) not including delivery fee. The serving is big enough to fill me the whole day. It was very good not to worry not eating any seafood in your cream chowder. I am on a challenge staying away from any meat or shellfish.  It depends on if you're a type of person if you eat a lot or someone like me can get full easily. NOT SPONSORED.
