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.

Turkey Sandwich Spread Recipe

  Happy Thanksgiving to my family and friends living in the United States! You're celebrating with a big festival table color of fall. I am eating turkey not roasted in an oven with stuffing and cranberry sauce. My version is made by Bistol Chunk Turkey that I had made into a sandwich spread. Bistol Chunk Turkey is sold for PHP 92.00 ($1.84) each can. I bought it at Sage and Roshan 2017  Online Shop Shopee Philippines. I was looking for turkey and was surprised they actually have a canned version like any other sandwich spread that we often see for tuna. I did the same process in making my sandwich  by opening the canned turkey and drain off removing the broth that came with it. The turkey is whole not something I had expected since this was my first time purchasing the product.
