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.

Boston Market Home Style Meals Swedish Meatballs


In the year 1985 living in California my family would often purchase our meals through Boston Market when my parents didn't feel like cooking at our home.

I remember when the Sunday newspaper had arrived thrown on our driveway there would be coupon's to cut that Boston Market had a promotion to use which meals we're on sale during that time.

I grew up eating grilled chicken when I was young and still my favorite meal.

Today I was able to purchase a side dish made by Boston Market too bad there is no chicken version to be frozen but to get close to the taste back home. I have the Sweden Meatballs to share to you.

The taste brought me back to memory lane that I miss American food and no matter if you cook the food everyone's secret is all different based on their own ingredients.

I had purchase it at S&R online shopping for the price of PHP 279.00 ($5.58).
