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. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. 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. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel.

Food Calling


Can food really call you up to tell you to eat them?

Can you control yourself when you see food in front of you?

Can you resist yourself and limit how much portion you can eat once you do eat what food is calling you?

Food you see and you feel they are calling you it is psychological in your brain thinking the food is calling you it is when you cannot control yourself in eating the food you see in front of you.

Food calling is a disorder when you feel you want to eat more than what you're suppose to consume.

I have never thought food can call you up I know you can look at food but to me I can control myself from eating something that is front of myself.

Each person can control themselves when food is in front of them but there are people who cannot they feel they need to go over board until they eat too much and their stomach is about to explode.

Everyone learn based on their own experience either they learn not to do it again or they repeat do it as a bad habit.
