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.

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.

What are your favorite snacks you miss back home?



Going back to the years when we use to eat Crunch n Munch Buttery Toffee Popcorn and Peanut ages ago when I use to live in California one of my old time favorite snack the benefit of shopping online no matter what food you miss back home you can find someone selling it in the Philippines the price may be more expensive. You also need to consider the transportation fee, taxes and the seller's income when you buy products being imported to another country.

No matter what you crave for you can somehow find it in either in Shopee or Lazada online shopping in the Philippines.


I love eating Red Vines Original Flavor when I use to watch a movie theater backed home when I was growing up when we're allowed to eat candies due to my parents being very strict food was limited in junk food.


My favorite spice is cinnamon anything made with this I would like to try this is also my favorite candy something hot but tasty in your mouth.


Of course we also go back to drinking soda when we can and these are my favorite drinks only once in awhile when I feel I need a sugar rush.

Note:

I am not selling any of these products mentioned just love eating and drinking once I feel like it.
