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.

Mangosteen, Lanzones and Banana Lacatan


You start to crave for fruits no matter how much they cost per kilo you risk yourself whether it is sweet or sour.

You're not able to go outside from restrictions you choose to order fruits online from Grab Mart on your phone.

Manang V had informed Carmina that someone gave her lanzones, but it was sour even if the price was expensive.

Carmina wanted to have fruits for the week to consume.

Carmina had ordered one kilo each fruits for the following:

  1. Lanzones PHP 249.00 ($4.98)
  2. Mangosteen PHP 375.00 ($7.50)
  3. Banana Lacatan PHP 145.00 ($2.90)
Every time you order fruits it is a gamble. Carmina's gamble went well her lazones are sweet and the mangosteen is sour how it is suppose to be.

To make an order you can do it at Grab Mart or check Monicar General Merchandise what else they offer.
