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...

Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas and Fried Chicken from Lola Cafe


Carmina was missing home cooked meals and the one she was craving for is Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas.

The last time someone cooked Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas was Mom Nikki who treat me like her real daughter.

Mom Nikki said I remind of her daughters that live across the miles in another country.

Mom Nikki looks at me she said my personality is just like her daughter back home and the way I act is exactly like her twins.

Carmina was looking for Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas the only way to find it was by searching in Grab Food that had catered in Filipino dishes cooked just like home.

Lola Cafe popped up being the first on the list that had Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas. Carmina had placed her order for PHP 400.00 ($ 8.00) including with packaging fee arriving in two plastic containers.



The best thing is that Lola Cafe gives you two servings of Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas to them it is labeled extra soup. Guess what there is even vegetables and salmon inside not just soup.

To us Filipino we love to match our food with our Salmon Belly Sinigang sa Bayabas with any fried food such as fried chicken or pork chop you will see this in my Facebook Page under Carmina Lifestyle where I have an photo album of food that match well together when you combine it with your dishes.

I had ordered Lola Fried Chicken Solo for PHP 380.00 ($7.60) including packaging fee not prices may vary within your location for delivery charge and tip to the rider.



Lola Fried Chicken is breaded to let you know for those who haven't eaten here to take a look at the menu Lola Cafe Philippines to direct you there.
