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.

Raquel's 6-Minute Walk on the Arch


Raquel had explained every time she has family or friends spending time with them. Often, she would share places she has discovered on her own based on her own experience.

You wonder why she calls it real life of Hawaii because we see people who live off in tents who cannot afford to live in a house of their own.

Reality brings us seeing people who have chosen to live this way rather living off on what the government can provide them. Some people don't want to be discipline and live with restriction. They prefer to live off near nature on the outside.

There is a 6-Minute Walk toward the Arch is what you'll see in my story.


Tips:

It is best not to go alone because there are a lot of homeless surrounded living in the tent. The area has a lot of trash where they look for food to consume.

If you're someone who loves to hike, there is no problem as long you wear proper shoes.

It is a great opportunity to spend time with Raquel even if it is a short 6-Minutes walk any age can do it.

Remember to bring a camera or phone to do some photo shoot.
