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...

Sweet Potato Chips


Even though Carmina cannot go to Hawaii with her mom as planned she can still be able to find something that came from there.

Anything is possible when you are shopping online at Metro Mart application doing your two weeks grocery shopping for yourself and your mom.

You end up checking at Shopwise Philippines to see what new items are available during the time you decide to shop online finding out there is a new Wai Lana Sweet Potato Chips made in Honolulu, Hawaii that is either potato chips or sweet potato.

The favorite of mine is always being able to try sweet potato chips made by other brands of chips anywhere in which country you end up purchasing from and ordering.

You tend to explore on food not on travel mode during our pandemic.

Sample how the Wai Lana Sweet Potato Chips made in Honolulu, Hawaii Barbecue Flavor for PHP 150.00 ($3.00) each bag 3.5 oz.



Carmina is happy that she can eat something from Honolulu, Hawaii and don't have to leave your home.
