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...
Mom Violy last time she has eaten at The Aristocrat Restaurant was with her cousin Marigold. Sometimes we are drawn by memories places you use to eat with your relative.
When you reached a certain age people tend to remember places they have eaten in the past. The relative you use to eat out and dine at The Aristocrat Restaurant doesn't quite remember who you are.
Carmina was able to bring Mom Violy to The Aristocrat Restaurant. I was able to see one of their branches located inside the Quezon Memorial Circle at passing when looking for Mom Violy's garden needs.
Mom Violy was able to eat her favorite Sweet and Sour Lapu-Lapu.
Mom Violy asked the server how long it would take to cook. The server said twenty minutes.
Mom Violy felt she was getting hungry. Carmina had informed her why not pick an appetizer.
Mom Violy decided to order one Ubod Fresh Lumpia and have ir sliced in the middle.
Carmina had placed her order for the Popular Filipino dishes from their menu. I had ordered their boneless chicken with java rice and atchara.
I also ordered Black Gulaman Sago for my drink and shared it with Mom Violy.
Mom Violy was happy with her meal. She had some leftover for her dinner.
