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.

Self Service or With Assistance at New York Laundry

 


Not many of us have a big washing machine to wash our comforters. 

Carmina decided to bring it to a laundry place and found New York Laundry.

Entering inside wearing a face mask Carmina approaches the employee on duty asking whether she can leave her comforter to be washed with assistance. I was told there is an additional charge of PHP 100.00 ($1.72) to have it done.

The employee from New York Laundry asked if I had any detergent with me and said yes. Letting them know I didn't want any softener because I am allergic to it.

They will look at the size of the laundry to see which washing machine it will fit with different price range. Since my comforter was a king size it had it inside a bigger washing machine for PHP 220.00 ($3.79) and the dryer will cost additional PHP 168.00 ($2.90).


Carmina was told it will be ready at 3:00 PM. 

Upon picking it up is when you'll be asked to make a payment in cash best to pay full amount because they don't have change for large bills.

NOTE:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for New York Laundry just something I need to have washed.
