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...
Carmina decided to switch venues and explore cuisine from different countries.
For now, we can travel through the flavors of food served in the Philippines and share these experiences with others. This time, I decided to try some Pepi Cubano sandwiches.
Pepi Cubano features slow-roasted pork, ham, pickles, mustard, and cheese for PHP 190.00 ($3.80).
- Tito Choropan with chorizo hamonado, sliced jalapeños, cheese, and chimichurri sauce for PHP 170.00 (around $3.40).
Tip:
We asked for the chimichurri sauce to be served on the side to keep the Tito Choropan from getting soggy during delivery via Grab Food.
Pan De Verdura, packed with roasted eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese, is priced at PHP 210.00 ($4.20).
Review from Carmina:
I really liked the Pan De Verdura; all my favorite vegetables were included. I just made sure to inform them when placing the order not to add bell peppers to my sandwich.
I could taste a hint of jalapeno, possibly from the sauce they used in the Pan De Verdura, but it wasn’t spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich.
Both of my family members also enjoyed their experience with the Pepi Cubano and Tito Choropan.
All the sandwiches arrived at our location in a paper bag, wrapped up just like shown in the picture.
All sandwiches were sliced by Carmina at her home, where I showed you how each one looked so you could see the meat and vegetables in our food.
