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...

8Cuts Burger


Just in one month I was able to try and explore through burger food chains to see how everything taste. Each place you have tried all have their own signature touch from the sauce, how they cook their dishes and the way they present when being delivered to your home.

I've venture in 8Cuts Burger to give them a try everyone love to look back to find the food they miss back in their hometown. To me it would be California where they have In & Out to eat your burger, fries and shake in one place.

Every food chain you come across all cook their food differently my family had tried the following:

Note:

Choose from 1/4 or 1/3 Pound with an additional charge on burger patty.

Waffle Cut Fries are optional with additional charge not a meal 



Cheeseburger PHP 230.00 additional PHP 75.00 for 1/3 Pound with side order Waffle Cut Fries Sharing PHP 85.00 additional PHP 95.00 for sharing size = PHP 485.00 ($9.70).

Cheeseburger PHP 230.00 additional PHP 75.00 for 1/3 Pound with Waffle Cut Fries Solo PHP 85.00 = PHP 390.00 ($7.80).


We have a family member who doesn't eat with sauce or vegetables one way to make life easier by letting them know ahead of time what items you don't want in your food. It makes it easier on everyone another way we don't waste food.

Meathead PHP 230.00 additional 1/3 Pound PHP 75.00 with additional Smoked Bacon PHP 35.00 with Waffle Cut Fries Solo PHP 85.00 = PHP 425.00 ($8.50).



Fish 'Wich PHP 260.00 with Onion Rings PHP 85.00 = PHP 345.00 ($6.90).




Outcome on the food venture is that I love my fish 'wich it was very soft not over cooked something I had requested when I had placed my order. The red cabbage added the additional flavoring inside something that was exciting to try for my first time.

The onion rings we're savoring with additional flavoring one thing I had notice that was very different adding ketchup made everything taste well together. The batter was not over powering made it balance and not difficult to eat.

Over all my family loved their burger with no complaints and the waffle cut fries.
