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.

Taking charge of the household

When the cook decide to quit because of pressure and cannot handle the household goes slamming the door and what to you do take charge of the kitchen because why get upset it is not only you who knows how to cook.

When you come into a situation and the person doesn’t tell you that they cannot cope with the pressure thinking they can handle the full load has being a house helper as the lady of the house we know how it takes to run a house hold.

We can manage without us complaining and take charge of the uncooked meals in the kitchen.

Some time people have too much pride and cannot let go and let others help them around them they think they can shoulder all the house hold but they don’t ask for help they put it into slamming the door.

No matter what situation you’re in it is best to ask for help or a second hand not act immature around people who around you.

People come into a situation when they feel high and mighty not able to lower their pride when there are people around them know how to cook better than anyone else.

We never complained because we know we can manage on our own and when we do need help we ask people around us.
