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...
Persimmon fruit from the USA is in peak season from the end of the month of September to November.
Japan persimmon fruits are in season from the month of September to December.
Korea persimmon fruits are in season from October to early December.
Just like anyone from my hometown in California we also get the chance to eat persimmon fruits the same time of the month.
Even if I live in the Philippines we also get to eat the same fruit it may just be a different texture it comes to taste maybe the same being all sweet inside.
In the Philippines we also can purchase dried persimmon sold in a Hi-Top Grocery stores or in a fruit stand no matter if fresh or dried we can have it both ways.
The price may be more expensive than others the price of the persimmon fruit has increased due our pandemic months and the cost of living is quite different in the situation everyone is in with everyone needing an income.
It doesn't stop us to eat our yearly fruit that comes the month of November.
Persimmon fruit is sold per piece is PHP 40.00 ($0.80).
The way I eat my persimmon fruit is to slice in the middle shown in the picture:
