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. 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...

Cinnamon Pandesal


What do you do when your home and all you think of doing is finding new food to eat and write about it.

We can't go out to buy our own food, but what we can do is have our own food delivered to you.

As we keep searching for food to try we end up trying something new to eat just because we become bored in our plain pandesal or bread we want to eat for breakfast or any other meal when we feel like eating.

Filipino always eats pandesal for breakfast and soaks it in our coffee they also put ice cream inside just like the American uses a chocolate chip cookie for an ice cream sandwich.

I love cinnamon and this is the first pandesal I have tried that has it everywhere from the top and the bottom.

It tastes great the next day you can eat it cold or heat it up in your toaster oven.

The price is PHP 65.00 ($1.30) for four pieces.

I have wanted to try their banana mon but every time I try to order it is not available.
