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...
I decided to try an Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps that has wine as a part of their ingredient from Savoursmiths . I am not a wine person and there was an after taste when I ate it. I wanted to have an opinion from someone else. I had offered to Manang V, Ike and Rodelo to try in order to see their reaction on what they thought what the Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps taste like to them. Manang V liked the taste not too salty and not sweet just right for her. Ike and Rodelo had the same feeling being a person who is not into wine it was hard to describe the taste that stuck in your tongue.

Note: I am not selling Savoursmiths Italian Cheese and Port Potato Crisps just wanted to see how it had tasted.
