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.

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.

Too humid in the Philippines need something to cool you down a bit since we are unable to fly to Zamboanga to try their well known dessert called Knicker Bocker ingredients are fresh fruits, jellies, tapioca, sweetened milk and with strawberry ice cream on top.

Usually in the Philippines we eat something that has fresh fruits is something we call fruit salad but have you ever tried it with ice cream well Carmina has never tried it either.

She decided to order it from Dolce de Manila through Grab application on her phone. It says there is a Limited Time Offer El Coco Melon has the following ingredients shredded melon, watermelon, nata de coco, tapioca, sweetened milk and buko melon ice cream for PHP 130.00 ($2.60).


I figured it is my chance to try it before it is off season in Dolce de Manila. I had ordered a 16 ounce since I wasn't sure whether I can finish it or not since I had purchase Knicker Bocker for PHP 110.00 ($2.20) the same time.



Hey even if the Grab rider warn me it would be a bit melted when it has arrive due to being humid and the drive is a bit far where it came from no problem, Carmina wants to try it for herself from a humid day in the Philippines.

Carmina still wanted to take chances and place it in the freezer after taking a picture of the Knicker Bocker and El Coco Melon.

By making chances Carmina will share you her experience how everything look and taste so delicious by the amount of ingredients that are inside.
