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...
Being a kid we use our imagination during kindergarten and grade school. We played outside with our neighbors who had kids the same age.
I remember we used card board to make a house in our drive way. We used our dolls and toys to decorate our home.
The food we use was whatever we had in our food pantry by asking permission from our own parents.
I remember we pretended we went to attend church someone had dress up being the priest and a nun.
My parents had some haw flakes and we pretended that was the bread to serve during our pretend mass.
The color may not be white being small and round made us resemble what the priest had fed us during our mass during our imagination we didn't care what it was made.
When I was young my parents always ate lunch at China Town in San Francisco after our meal we would walk around to shop around to bring food back home. I love eating the Haw Flakes rolled up and eating each circle shape giving you a tart taste in your mouth.
It was the common candy sold in China Town and being a kid you eat any candy that allow your own parents let you eat when you can.
I grew up with both parents being very strict. I grew up being a picky kid.
To get some Haw Flakes you may try to purchase it at 168 Grocers Online Shop Shopee Philippines PHP 28.00 ($0.56) 10 grams not including shipping and handling.
