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.

Funny Stories

I had just recently changed my Facebook profile and profile back ground picture and My friend message me and said Carmina your picture looks you are dead.

I had told her when you are dead you don't need anyone's address they will just sneak inside your boyfriend's body and pretend to be them nside by spirit. My friend said, there is no way people can do that is that how much power a dead person has when they die through spirit and it is not in the bible.

Baby Picture

My mom was asking me to look for our childhood pictures as my mom wanted to post her old pictures and make it into an album for her friends to see how she had looked when she was young. I came across from old pictures when I was a baby and played with it and place bunnies ears and whiskers on it for the celebration of the coming Easter. When you are bored and you want to play with your old pictures and put objects on it just like any teenager would do to put crops on their own pictures. You wonder if the way you had looked when you're a baby still looks the same how you look now. Before and After
