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...
Charina and the family requested Mom Violy to have a video version with recipe of how she cooks her beef kalderata.
Giving us this opportunity to use Charina's kitchen while we're visiting them in California.
Mom Violy's Tip:
Mom Violy said you really need to use the Chaona brand of Coconut milk because if you try a different brand her recipe won't taste the same.
You can find Chaona in the Asian Grocery Store in the United States.
Mom Violy says depending on the meat will need to check after one hour while being cooked in low heat.
If you don't have any whole black pepper, you can use regular black pepper by sprinkle it during our cooking.
