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 .

International Women's Day - Lunch at Cabalen Restaurant

 


Mary Ann and Carmina had planned to meet at Ali Mall to hang out. We both invited someone to come with us.

Mary Ann had introduced her friend Janelle to Carmina and Mom Violy. We had clicked so well with her soon we plan to have a road trip in the future.

Mary Ann was the one who had decided to eat at Cabalen a Buffet Restaurant that serves Filipino dishes.

The reason why Mary Ann had picked Cabalen for their alien dish which Carmina doesn't eat. If you know Carmina she doesn't eat that type of food reason why Mary Ann calls it alien.

Here is a short clip food served at Cabalen Restaurant:


For the first time Mom Violy didn't want to take any pictures she was busy eating her lunch.


NOTE:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for Cabalen Restaurant located in Ali Mall in Cubao, Quezon City.
