When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up.

Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day.

Twelve Apostle Day Tour in Melbourne, Australia

I was told by a family friend not to miss seeing the twelve apostles. I had informed my aunt who we'll be visiting during our visit where I wanted to go.

I also did some research on places to visit during our stay. We went on the month of November. It is supposed to be warm during that month, but for some reason when we had arrived it was super cold and windy. I was told by my aunt to bring winter clothes with us.

We had stopped over to buy our snack before we had headed to the twelve apostles. It turned out the pigeons also wanted to eat our French fries.
