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 went on a bread venture, searching for a new place to order her bread. Sometimes we get tired of ordering from the same place, especially when on a diet, and feel the urge to explore other options.
It took me quite a while to decide what type of bread I wanted this time.
I ended up choosing a variety to have more options for making sandwiches.
A half baguette costs PHP 44.00 ($0.92). Considering the size, the price is reasonable. The baguette is softer than others I've tried before, which is a great advantage, especially for keeping bread fresh at home longer. I removed it from the packaging, sliced it in the middle, and opened it on the side to make sandwich preparation easier. Then, I placed it in a clear plastic container with a lid to keep it fresh at home.
My favorite bread has always been Ciabatta. For PHP 44.00 ($0.92), it’s big for its price, soft, and absolutely enjoyable. The inside is moist and fluffy, and since it’s quite large, I usually can only eat half at a time.
Honestly, I had a hard time figuring out what a 1950's Footlong was. I had no idea there was a hotdog inside the bread until I checked their Facebook page to find out what type of bread it was.
It's actually pretty big and worth the price of PHP 169.00 ($3.52). The 1950's Footlong has a local hotdog inside, and the bread is soft, making it enough to split into two meals.
I treated myself to a Coffee Bun for PHP 56.00 ($1.17). It was something different, kind of reminiscent of a donut but in the form of a baked bun, with a flavor that combines coffee and chocolate from the top.
This coffee bread is unlike any I've had before, and I’m excited to try their other baked goods in the future.
