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.

Sakura Hanami Milk Tea


I blame my son making me addicted to milk tea now I want to try something new out the ordinary. I was looking for food in food panda and came across something that my eyes could not let go. I was so curious to try something that looked appealing in a picture.

I never have tried a milk tea that came from Japan. I decided to try and see if what my eyes and mouth was drooling would impress my taste buds.

I decided to order from Sakura Hanami. 

The picture I saw was their new flavor red velvet cheesecake milk tea. It remind me something when I saw in Japan when I had visited the cherry blossom. The colors looked appealing.


I had ordered a regular size and my son had order a large they looked when it arrived it was huge compare to places we have tried before.


So, far I found my favorite milk tea I can highly recommend it.
