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...
Feeling hungry after a long day shopping before heading back at Mom Violy's house. Carmina decided to get a bite to eat close to the area knowing Mom Violy won't have any food to eat at her home. Mom Violy suggested that she wanted to try the fried siopao her neighbor informed her tasted really good. What we didn't know it had some soup inside only when I ate it on my plate using a fork. It is really yummy that is home made from Mien San Noodle House . We also order Wonton Soup to share. Spicy Eggplant and plain white rice to complete our meal, but we requested it to be mild. From eating delicious Chinese food on Gilmore Street, we had a full stomach. Carmina's drink was fresh buko juice and asked to open it up for me and bring it home. NOT SPONSORED.
