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...

Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley Hill Drive, Taguig

Becky has never been to Venice Grand Canal Mall in McKinley Hill Drive, Taguig. The last time Mom Violy and Carmina went here was year 2019.

Anyone who wants to take pictures and dine at the restaurant can just drive within your reach just located in the Philippines.

There was a lot of people on a Sunday, March 19, 2023. In the Philippines Sunday is a family day where they want to bond with everyone.

There is an option to ride the gondola by lining up at the booth located inside the shopping mall. We didn't have time during our visit.


Mom Violy kept saying she was tired. Carmina and Becky had explored around taking a video and pictures. 

Later Becky was getting tired too and Carmina went off on her own decided to go inside the Venice Grand Canal Mall next I know Mom Violy and Becky was behind her. 

Carmina took some selfie photos of herself using her monopod. Mom Violy and Becky had joined me.

Carmina feels when your exploring places you've don't get a chance to see take the advantages to roam around.

Carmina is not afraid of covid we have our booster and flu shots yet wearing a N95 face mask to keep ourselves protected.

Everyone feels differently toward when they see many people as long you're doing social distance, you'll be alright.






Carmina wanted to cross the bridge saw people taking photos. Mom Violy kept there are too many people. There are ways to not go near them by passing by a different side next you know Mom Violy and Becky wanted to take a solo photo of themselves.




We only remove our face mask when we'll be taking a picture and put it back on when done.

Highlight of the day is Mom Violy disappear read the next article and see where she went.
