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...
There are moments you want to fill up your freezer with frozen goods. My favorite has always been gyoza. They are easy to prepare all you need is a steamer or rice cooker because it can be cooked at the same time. Just make sure you have thongs to flip them over or use the rice spoon. They don't break apart. It is up to you if you would like to fry it afterwards being steamed up. I prefer mine just steamed and eat with rice. I had also purchase their Gyoza sauce for 72.00 pesos ($1.33). Shimp Gyoza is 384.00 ($7.11) and Vegetable Gyoza for 293.00 pesos ($5.43) not including 12% vat. Ingredients in back of the package: The Shrimp Gyoza and Vegetable Gyoza both tastes good. We have no problem with the overall product. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Frozen Shrimp Gyoza and Vegetable Gyoza purchase from Shin Mikana Farmers. Subscribe & follow @ Carmina Lifestyle a place to look, discover and share.
