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...
Carmina was handed a box of chicken nuggets and went ahead to try it without knowing it was meatless. It didn't quite taste right with the barbecue sauce that was included with five pieces nuggets. Carmina asked someone to try it not sure if it was just my taste buds reacting in a acquired way. Yes, I do eat meatless food yet this wasn't something I can say it was really good. It tasted more of textured vegetable protein extender know for short cut is TVP which is a product we sell. Carmina had to checked Shakey's Pizza Philippines had a new item when I was gone for vacation. Yes, it is Good Nuggets with vegan Barbecue sauce.
