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...

Soy Yummy Chilled Taho

Carmina had missed eating taho for breakfast usually in the Philippines you would hear a man selling outside in the street. He would ring his bell passing each homes in you're neighborhood. He would yell out saying taho. You would ask someone to get some bowls, a tray and money to pay the person. Life became different you end up ordering your own from  Buildamart  in New Manila through Grab Mart for PHP 63.24 350 grams (large size). I was able to try Soy Yummy Chilled Taho for the first time. It is easy to mix together while all the ingredients are separated from each other. Soy Yummy Chilled Taho is not sweet to the ones you buy off the street and you can adjust the taste to how much serving you want in the time you plan to eat it. Carmina is not selling or advertising for Soy Yummy Chilled Taho and Buildamart located in New Manila Philippines.
