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...

Red Ribbon Bakery

 


My sister had requested me to order my mom a birthday cake and have it dedicated to her children due being far from us even though they cannot be a part of our celebration the though counts when they have thought about their Nana on her special day.

I had asked my mom where she wanted her cake and she had request a Red Ribbon mocha cake.

I was able to order online and have it delivered to our home this way everything would all come on time there would no need to pick it up.

This is my greatest advantage living in the Philippines just click and orders to have everything arrive in your home all you need to do is pay for it.

Only thing I can do is have my mom enjoy her special day even if it is only the two of us the thought of my mom having an enjoyable time is what really counts from anyone is to spend time with your parents and family member during our time on our pandemic months.

Why Nana?

My mom doesn't want to be call Grandmother or Lola she said those names make her sound old. Everyone has their own preference on names when they reach that point when you have your own Grandkids.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Red Ribbon Bakery just a place where my mom love to eat her cake.
