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...

Fruit by the Foot



Carmina was able to find her snack that she grew up eating the most. Carmina loves eating fruit snacks when she was a kid. 

Carmina's favorite is Fruit by the Foot you don't need to be a kid to be eating it.

During my childhood days my mom would pack my lunch to have a sandwich, boxed juice, chips or fruit snacks to bring to school. Each day my snack we're all different my favorite was to share my Fruit by the Foot with my friends.


There we're days I felt sick being a picky kid I'd only ask to eat Fruit by the Foot for my snack.

Living in the Philippines it was difficult for me to find Fruit by the Foot due too some online shops we're quite expensive comparing the value of Philippine currency.

I was able to find that Aleyahmei.ph is selling it per pack PHP 24.00 ($0.48) the flavor is Strawberry.

Note:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Fruit by the Foot and Aleyahmei.ph Online Shopee Philippines just was able to purchase my childhood snacks.
