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.

Maya's Baked Pasta from Realms Mansion Vista Verde Cainta

Carmina went searching for pasta this time and discovered Maya's Trio Solo, which offers one serving each of Lasagna, Baked Mac, and Chicken Alfredo, along with six pieces of garlic bread, all for PHP 749.70 ($13.39). Carmina went to grab Maya's Meal, which includes a choice of pasta—I chose Baked Mac—along with two cookies (I opted for Oatmeal) and two pieces of garlic bread, all for PHP 339.15 ($6.56). I was worried the serving might be too small, but once I transferred it to a plate, it turned out to be just right. To explore what other food they offer, take a look at their menu.  Maya's Baked Pasta . NOT SPONSORED. Check out  Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel  and click on the subscribe button for free.

Carmina's Experience inside Persephone's Farm located at The Gardens, Loyola Grand Villas

Carmina was curious to enter inside Persephone's Farm where she saw so many Korean items and fresh fruits. Carmina began looking inside and saw some canned juice located in back of the store where a man just appeared in front of her holding a basket offering to hold items in which I began finding other stuff that added on. Carmina asked how much the prepacked Sweet Red Lychees and was told it was PHP 150.00 and took two packages. Carmina also took one piece of Davao Lagkitan Avocado and some Lakatan Banana. I was missing eating fresh fruits after I had arrived from California. Of course there was some Korean Ice-Cream located inside the freezer and was told to check what else I wanted to purchase the person who was inside was very friendly. Just in case your in the neighborhood come and check out  Persephone's Farm . Yes, it is true the Sweet Red Lychees are very sweet and the juice comes out removing the outer layer skin.
