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.

Snackable Sushi from Gureisu Okawari

Why do I call it the snackable sushi?  The serving from  Gureisu Okawari  is too small for both for sushi and their main course meals. Usually, I can get fill up from eating sushi of one order but this time I wasn't full. I had to find something else to eat. Yet the sushi was really delicious I wanted more of my Caterpillar Maki for PHP 315.00 ($5.38). Family member had the same feeling from their order which was the following: Chicken Teriyaki for PHP 255.00 ($4.35) Katsu Don for PHP 275.00 ($4.69) NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Japanese served at Gureisu Okawari.

Budget Boneless Chicken is from 24 Chicken

Anyone comes to a point in our life we want to limit our expenses, yet we still want to have a good meal. Someone came by our home brought some boneless chicken from 24 Chicken which comes in eleven different flavors. Choose how many pieces you would like to order from half pieces includes 7 pieces or whole of 14 pieces all are boneless no need to worry for the bones. Both prices are different from what flavor you've decided upon. All we need to do is cook rice at home and we have a full meal.  We've tried Original and Garlic, yet everyone has their own preference in taste. We liked either flavor served from  24 Chicken We had ordered 7 Pieces for PHP 288.00 Original Flavor through Grab Food with delivery and handling fee is not included. It comes with ketchup and chopsticks inside a paper bag along with your receipt. Time to enjoy your meal and the chicken is flavorful and crispy the best part no worries on the bones. There are no interruptions when you're eating your meal...
