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...
Lately I have been wanted to eat something with salmon but in a soup base and the place where I order my Filipino dishes doesn't have it available.
I am unable to go to the market and buy my salmon. I cannot cook in the kitchen being prohibited due to the situation at home.
Carmina decided to order food that had Sinigang na Salmon Belly it is really Authentic Filipino my reason why I say it is super sour from the tamarind that they use and spicy from the chili green pepper that has probably open while stirring the soup.
Carmina was able to eat it with half cup of rice at home with a small bowl of Sinigang na Salmon Belly and the other portion can be eaten for dinner.
My way of saving money and eating my food twice for a meal less than $10.00 in USD I was able to eat enough for the day.
For those who plan to visit the Philippines and are on a budget they also have set meals that range from PHP 200.00 ($4.00) to PHP 300.00 ($6.00) depending if you want rice in your meals.
I was debating if I was going to order Sinigang ng Salmon Belly Set. It is a small portion of Singigang ng Salmon Belly in a bowl with Pinakbet and rice for PHP 149.00 ($2.98)
I figured I also need to consider what food I will be eating for dinner later so might as well get the full order of Sinigang na Salmon Belly for PHP 229.00 ($4.58) and Pinakbet PHP 130.00 ($2.60) not including fee from Grab application and tip to the rider who is picking up your order from Salo to be delivered to your home.
The food had arrive secured with masking tape on the side to make sure it doesn't spill during the process being handle from the Grab rider to your home.
Sinigang na Salmon Belly
Every time we receive food from restaurant the rule is always transfer to another container before having it consumed and the plastic container it comes from is to have it washed being able to be used again.
Your food can be reheated when you plan to eat your leftover Sinigang na Salmon Belly and Pinakbet from Salo.
Note:
Carmina is not selling or advertising Sinigang na Salmon Belly and Pinakbet from Salo just something to eat for my meal for the day.
