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.

Carmina's Experience Ordering from Red Whisk Bakery through TikTok Shop

Mom Violy asked Carmina to find a bakery that has milk chocolate French macaroons. Carmina began looking online and being a first time to order from TikTok Shop. Carmina discovered that  Red Whisk Bakery  has six pieces of milk chocolate French macaroons sold for 340.00 pesos ($5.86). Being a first-time ordering from directly from TikTok Shop received a discount. I was disappointed how it was packaged receiving it the French macaroons was not appealing to give it as a Christmas gift to Mom Violy. Carmina had promised Mom Violy to find her French macaroons she had given it to her in person took a video to see how it would taste. NOTE: Video is posted in my Carmina Lifestyle TikTok. Anyone receiving a Christmas gift was disappointed how it looked smashed up not even looking how Mom Violy had pictured in her ...
