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...

Carmina Exploring inside the Quezon City Memorial Circle

How long have you lived in Quezon City?

Carmina has migrated to the Philippines fifteen years ago.

There are places I've never had the chance to explore. 

Being able to have time to explore comes around places that are not expensive. There are actually places in the area of Quezon City that can take you places where money is not an issue.

From my observation inside Quezon City Memorial Circle there are different types of food based on your budget.

Entering inside if you are being accompany from a senior citizen/ PWD card holder parking is free all you need to do is present it to a small booth approaching the gate. They will just look at it to see if the person is inside the car.

There are a lot of parking inside.

Those who love to do gardening there is sections where you can purchase your garden needs. If you don't know where it is located there are two gates of the circle. 

The first gate is toward Quezon Avenue where the restaurants are located such as Max Fried Chicken, Aristocrat Restaurant, and many more.

The second gate is where the area to purchase your garden supplies. Just ask the security guard where it is located.

Mom Violy had enjoyed herself shopping for her garden needs. 

I was able to enjoy walking around where there was Christmas decorations around a section where the garden supplies, we're located.





The place can be really hot best to wear a hat to those who cannot tolerate the sun.

Most people go to the Quezon City Memorial Circle to do their daily exercise. I've heard they also have free Zumba. 

Becky has informed Carmina one of these days she'll be my tour guide to show me around the Quezon Memorial Circle.
