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...

Myeonggam Korea Iced Persimmon

I was checking what was new in Facebook. I had notice something advertised it was dried persimmon. Last night I was just thinking of color Autumn. I went ahead to look for anything that was made of persimmon in the month of July through Grab application. I was able to find something different what we normally don't see that often. I saw Myeonggam Korea Iced Persimmon sold at  Assi Fresh Plaza  selling for the price of PHP 110.00 ($2.20) 100 grams. It definitely taste like a persimmon just a frozen one.  For those who don't like in the Philippine you may inquire in  Myeonggam  the main supplier that I was able to get from the package.

Put Some Vegetable the Pinoy Way in Your Loaf of Bread

Put some vegetable the Pinoy way is having malunggay baked in your loaf of bread. For the Filipinos we used all sort of other ingredients to add flavor in our loaf of bread to make something healthy for us to eat. We can eat it alone or make a sandwich out of it having instant vegetable in your meal. Carmina love eating bread something I cannot remove off from my diet. Carmina decided to restock on her bread. I decided to order from Pan De Manila and now they deliver through Grab application. I was able to find something new. I have tried the pandesal version of Malunggay, but never the loaf bread. I went ahead and order a loaf to try and make it into a sandwich. I had tried eating one slice by itself with a sunny side up egg for my meal. Malunggay Loaf Bread is soft, moist, taste of malunggay and to me there is a taste of cheese of some type for PHP 50.00 ($1.00). Can you believe the price so cheap for ten slices? I did well today finding my Malunggay Loaf Bread. Pan De Manila had cha...
