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. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Botejyu

Everyone loves to try and explore new Authentic Japanese Restaurant and for me I am one of them who don't like ordering food from the same place. If I cannot explore outside might as well explore on food at least there is something new to try as well something to share to my followers. This time we have decided upon  Botejyu  that has a variety of other dishes in the picture is the unagi and avocado roll.  California Roll Diced Beef Garlic Steak Rice Bowl Pork Tonkatsu Cutlet with Egg Teishoku Prawn Tempura There are some meals that come with salad and there are some additional charges for extra add on to your dish. Note: Carmina is not selling or advertising for  Botejyu .  

Starbucks Bogo Sale in the Philippines on New Items

  Living in the Philippines when it is hot as well a raining afternoon on a month of August there are so many promo in different places to try and this time why not try something new that came out in Starbucks Philippines. Your choices are from Peach Cloud and Jelly, Tropical Triple Citrus, Mango Matcha Freeze, Oolong Jelly Match Royale and Sangria Hibiscus Cold Brew. The first picture is the mango matcha freeze and second picture is the peach cloud and jelly. I like the peach cloud jelly compared to the mango matcha freeze but if you are into something sour you will enjoy it. NOT SPONSORED.

From your friends list how well do they know who you are?

  Everyone wants to be loved by someone even if it means just being friends and what I mean by love when you care for them just like how you love your family. You come around with friends who have stayed single for a long time, and they want someone to love them back not to be in a relationship with them just to feel they are wanted in terms of feeling special. Some time you come across with friends who have no family living and they have passed away those people feel that want to be loved by someone because they feel there is no one reaching out to them, or they haven’t found that right person in their life. No matter who they are it is not wrong to feel you want to be loved by someone and someone to have that bond that you feel comfortable in talking too of hours and yet still be able to be who you are not judging you what you have less or more from that person. I find it easy for me to meet new people and soon they have been added to your friends list as you meet the fir...
