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.

Eye Sore Too Many Clutter



Mom Violy lives alone, and no one really clean her condominium being away for two months. Dust and dirt have accumulated entering the home all you think how you'll do it when your jetlag.

Mom Violy was on the edgy side since she wasn't able to sleep on the plane.

Laloy picked us up at the airport. Mom Violy wanted to have her breakfast at Burger King yet there was no breakfast meal available having no egg.

Carmina ordered Mom Violy's favorite Swiss Mushroom King combo with coke float and regular fries.

One whopper combo for Laloy and xtra chicken sandwich combo for herself.

Entering the condo Mom Violy opened her sliding door and began sweeping her floor.

Carmina was able to sleep eight hours on the plane. She was in charge of unpacking four luggage's and segregating items whom they belong too.

Mom Violy went to sleep.

Carmina was done with task number one.

She wanted to take a shower but in order to do it Mom Violy used her bathtub as a storage room.

Carmina had to remove a brand new electric fan that was still in box and four pieces plastic planting pots.

Carmina saw how dirty the bathtub and walls were not color white. Carmina realize how neglected the condominium Mom Violy lives.

Carmina was able to take a shower rest in her own room got bored afterwards finding how to keep herself awake.

Carmina started cleaning by washing the electric fan that was filled with dust in the living room.

Carmina felt while she was in quarantine she'll clean Mom Violy's home while keeping her awake and being productive.

Carmina gets an eye sore of too much clutter she cannot relax. Her eyes gets too distracted to turn someone's home a better one.

Mary Ann also came to visit and she also had the same effect on her eye's seeing too much dust and dirt not having Mom Violy's home tidy up makes you ask for assistance in helping you up.

Not everyone can live the way Mom Violy lives they prefer to keep their home well organized.
