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...

Ube Cream Cheese Custard Rolls & Brioche Burger Buns

 


I've always grew up eating bread ever since I was a kid. Living in the Philippines there are a lot of selection of bread to choose your choice can be plain or bread that has a filling inside the bread. 

Yesterday, I decided to purchase some bread from Boulngerie22 to try other bread from their store. Finally I can eat something different for a change. I bought some ube cream cheese custard rolls sold by pack of six pieces for PHP 149.00 ($2.98) not including delivery charge being purchase through Grab application and tip to the rider.

The Ube Cream Cheese Custard Rolls is soft, moist and the filling is really delicious not sweet and has a balance taste with a small amount of sesame seeds on top of the bread. I found bread that I won't mind buying again.

I also bought Brioche Burger Buns that was available not to make a hamburger more to just to make a sandwich for it.



I have placed myself on a diet with my family members due we have been excess eating from our previous months of our food ventures now we are on the healthy side.

I am going back on the pattern to eat on the sandwich the life I grew up in California so no matter what living in the Philippines we can still train ourselves to eat the American way.




Brioche Burger Bun taste a buttery flavor on the bread has the same when you eat a croissants what it remind me when I bite into it.

You can refer to my other stories in what other bread I've tried the first time I had purchase from Boulangerie 22: https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2020/03/boylangerie-22-in-philippines.html
