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...

Davao Pomelo

 

Yesterday I had posted that my mom is craving for a Peewee Pomelo asking for help. I was having a difficult finding the description of being sweet, juicy and medium size.

Sellers I have encountered didn't know where it came from my mom was looking for a particular brand to becoming from Davao called Peewee Pomelo having to be sweet, juicy and medium size.

Sellers I have encountered didn't respond to me with the right answer for some reason when I had made my post.

Other sellers came out in my Facebook tweed I have sent several messages to different sellers who we're selling Peewee Pomelo.

Finally I was able to find someone who can answer property to what I was looking for the seller's name is Melanie Salgarino selling in Facebook under Davao's Pomelo for PHP 90.00 per kilo.

Melanie was able to solve my entire problem and sent me picture how much six pieces would cost. I had informed my mom about it and told her might as well buy more since you will also be paying extra on the rider who will delivered to your home.

I felt my way to help the seller as well earning an income and a way it would take a longer period of time I would need to place my order again for my mom.

For 6 pieces of Peewee Pomelo is 4 1/4 kilo of PHP 385.00 ($7.70)  x 2 = PHP 770.00 ($15.40) of 12 pieces.

Payment was made through Gcash it is easier pay this way no cash transaction a faster way to get your funds to you right away.

Melanie will keep you informed once she has booked a rider through Mr. Speedy.

The payment is based on her location and your address for the amount for your delivery charge will be paid upon once the rider arrives in your home giving him/her the payment and a tip.

Everyone is happy so those living in the Philippines and wish to eat some Pomelo you may contact Melanie from Facebook Messenger under Davao's Pomelo.

Melianie is easy to talk too I had no problem discussing what my mom wanted for her pomelo. I can highly recommend you to her.

My mom's craving has ended looking forward to our next food journey.

Note:

I am not selling pomelo or advertising for Davao's Pomelo just found her from what my mom was craving for during her pandemic months.
