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.

Fried Pusit (Squid) Snack


Those who love fried pusit but don't like the smell when frying it in your home you can eat the snack version from Chivalry.

Not many people like the smell of anything dried to be cooked in their home I remember when I was living in our home in California my mom loved to cook dried pusit neighbors would complain about the smell fuming outside.

I use to work in California there we're a lot of Filipino who would warn their food in the microwave and many people didn't like the smell coming out when the person had open it up after being warm up.

Too many stories to share but to get to know the fried pusit which is squid in English it is already cook.

It is ready to eat as a snack just to let you know it is kind of spicy from the taste the ingredients are squid, chili, sugar and palm oil.


Other than being spicy it is tolerate able best to drink with soda or the relaxation day to unwind with alcohol. 

Chivalry Fried Pusit is sold for PHP 70.00 ($1.40) the grams are 30 not a lot in one pouch.

Note:

I am not selling Chivalry Fried Pusit just wanted to try it out of curiosity.
