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...
Often walking inside Ali Mall Carmina had notice something new seeing there is a Korean food being served at King of Kim . The first time seeing the place didn't have the time to purchase any food. Second time entering the Ali Mall decided to bring some food to bring back home. I was craving for japchae and was told all item on the counter was 10% off. The person working had asked if I wanted it to be heated up. I said, no need. Regular price of the japchae is 150.00 pesos ($2.59) since there was a 10% off the total was 135.00 pesos ($2.32). The japchae was placed inside a paper bag. Carmina had notice those who love eating ramen can have it made by adding boiling water. Maybe one day I will bring my friends to hang out and have a full meal of Korean food. Carmina heated the japchae removing the plastic lid heating in the microwave for one minute. The japchae was delicious with load of flavor. Carmina will bring Mom Violy there to try their Korean food at King of Kim. NOT SPONSORE...
