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...

Housekeeper at Ala Moana Hotel


Carmina realized Mom Violy has a difficult time adapting to the new technology when it comes to traveling.

Recently we went to Hawaii for five nights and six days Mom Violy had a difficult time remembering what room she was check in at Ala Moana Hotel.

Mom Violy didn't want to wander on her own she felt lost in motion when Carmina wasn't around.

Parents tend to rely upon their children when they begin to age.

Mom Violy said if she had to travel on her own, she'd rather not and stay at the Philippines.

Our parents don't want to learn how to do it and if we teach them, they say they'll forget.

Mom Violy met Edna and Anabel for her assistance in her room after finding they are Filipina the more, she spoke to them when they're on duty.



Mom Violy introduced Edna and Anabel to Carmina explaining that she is a blogger the more they both got excited taking pictures with each one of them.

Bottom line is Mom Violy is aging and she gets tired easily way she walks takes longer to reach the destination you're headed too.
