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.

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.

Carmina Entering at Tutuban Center


Carmina normally shops with Mom Violy at Tutuban Center where she purchases her sewing supplies. Mom Violy use to have someone mend her clothing but due to health reason she is in heaven may she rest in peace.

Mom Violy loves to make alteration on her clothes yet as well adding lace on her pillow cases to add additional length where she shops at Boston Trading located in Tutuban Center.

Carmina had notice when entering Tutuban Center after two years a lot has changed there are new restaurants and stores you've use to shop is still there.



Carmina had interviewed one store where she purchase underwear garments, pajama, socks and towel asking how their business went during the pandemic. They had informed Carmina that it was still opened and they don't have online selling just having regular customers who have made purchases from them.

They just call them up and they have it delivered through riders to their homes.

Having a business you just work around and manage it with finding an alternative way for your customers to be able to purchase from you.

No need to worry of the restrooms there is PAY Toilet and those who are a Senior Citizen get to use it for free while other have to pay PHP 10.00 ($019) includes toilet paper.

NOTE:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Boston Trading in Tutuban Center just a place to purchase Mom Violy supply in her sewing needs.
