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 Review on Buko Pandan Loaf from Edsa Shangri-la Hotel Bake Shop

Mom Violy had informed me that she would like to buy her banana bread at the Edsa Shangri-la Hotel  bake shop. Entering inside the bake shop Mom Violy asked me what I wanted to buy. First thing I saw was the buko pandan loaf. It was the last one on the shelf.  Mom Violy said are you sure this is the one you want. I said yes. I've never seen it before inside the bake shop. I am not sure if it is a seasonal item being holy week.  The price of the Buko Pandan Loaf is 260.00 pesos ($4.73) but if you have a senior card or PWD there is a discount on the baked goods. Coming home I took pictures for you to see what the buko pandan loaf look inside when you sliced it up. I've been eating for the past days the buko pandan loaf is still moist and soft placed inside the refrigerator in an airtight plastic container. Inside the buko pandan loaf is coconut where you can see is color white and color of the loaf in green of the pandan. How does the buko pandan loaf taste? Biting in the b...
