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.

O'ini Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine

After seeing for the first time the most colorful pancit ever been made in the Philippines I realize after I had tasted it and why it looked the way it does it is because it is half palabok and half pancit canton made with sotanghon and canton noodles mixed together. The way it looks different from being mixed with palabok and pancit ingredients combined and the unique flavor is not the sauce usually made from a palabok it is flavored with soy sauce.

You may purchase this pancit at  O'ini Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine  to check out their location and menu.
