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.

24 Alkaline-C Sodium Ascorbate

American Fish & Chips in the Philippines

Imagine yourself in a restaurant near the window looking at the waves at the water near the beach a place where you can eat fresh breaded fish fillet with French fries to dip in tartar sauce and clam chowder soup in a bread bowl. This reminds me back home in California where I would hang out with my Dad and his wife they love to bring me to these kinds of places. You feel like eating something like this and unable to travel you tend to find something to replace what you want to eat in doubt you're able to find a place called Fish & Co in the Philippines that serves the exact food I had just described.
