Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

Down the road when you don't have a car access to use on the day you would like to do a little grocery shopping.
Carmina had received a SMS message from her best friend on her temporary mobile phone asking if we can meet today in the afternoon.
Carmina was excited and message back if she can do a favor and bring me to the grocery store.
Carmina's best friend message her up letting her know when she was close by for her to go out.
For those who don't know Mask was Reinstated to wear in Alameda, California having high risk of Covid issues Carmina had no problem wearing a face mask since we have trained ourselves living in the Philippines.
Carmina's face mask is fully covered given by Auntie Marissa when we've run out of mask someone gives you a lot to use.
Food Maxx where groceries are inexpensive there is a sign at the door face mask is needed to do your shopping and those who are not wearing one there is a cashier who will go in front of you asking where your face mask is.
People may look at you who don't have one just to follow and obey the rules it is a must to protect the strangers who are around you.
Carmina and her best friend just shared one shopping cart by keeping either the right or left to what we are purchasing.
Carmina was able to purchase Mom Violy's roasted chicken that she has been craving for among her banana, plum and nectarine.
Carmina wanted to eat some ramen cup noodle soup but didn't quite see the ones we are familiar too decided to try something new.
Grocery shopping in California is different from doing it in the Philippines. Carmina saw so many products of food never seen or heard about before asking her best friend if she was aware of it being new to her.
Carmina also found some Cinnabon raisin bread which she didn't know they sold it here in California.
Carmina hasn't eaten chips for a long time decided to purchase her favorite Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips Luau BBQ.
It will take years for Carmina to get use to the products sold inside Food Maxx.
All I can say walking inside is very cold even if it is summer outside if you're like me you need a thin jacket during that time Carmina had no jacket to wear.
Check out is optional if you want to do self-check in which we did since there were only two cashiers available.
Here are the prices at Food Maxx to those who are curious how much the expenses made in California.
NOTE:
Carmina is not selling or advertising for products sold from Food Maxx.
