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...
We have more than one item to cook our food in our home. We are not like any normal family who has an oven in their kitchen. We don't have an oven in our kitchen; we use other electric appliance to cook, roast, grill, fry, turbo, stir-fry and roll in one appliance called, Air fryer. This is the healthy living that removes all the fat and oil from the food.
I buy my Australian hamburger at Shopwise Grocery Store when they have a BOGO sale. They run the price of PHP 500.00 ($10.00) for eighteen patties. They are not seasoned yet. I just sprinkle salt and black pepper on both side. I would defrost the meat and season them place they back on their individual wax paper place back in the freezer.
Each hamburger patty is 15 minuites to be grilled. I stop it when it reaches to #8 than flip it and wait till there is #4 remaining and it is completely cooked. We don't like our hamburger over cooked.
I also bake homemade personal pizza.
The other appliance I also have along in our kitchen is a sandwich maker. You can fill all sorts of filling inside to create your own sandwich.

We also have a waffle maker and make our own.
We don't have waffle batter so I just use the same batter what you use for pancake.
In the instruction box instead of using water I use fresh milk. I melt the butter inside the pancake mix this way it adds flavor.
I add fruits of any kind if you want some in it.
