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.

Seafood Sensations at the Hottest Restaurant in Town



Everyone who watches treading videos especially when it comes to fill up our stomach. 

Mom Violy was watching television calling up Carmina to look up The Orange Bucket.

Carmina went to check at TikTok if anyone took videos of the place to see how the food looks.

Carmina forwards the video to Mom Violy.

Every time I had watched videos The Orange Bucket kept popping in my feeds.

Mom Violy said she would like to eat the lobster finding out they serve it there.

Carmina planned out her schedule on Wednesday, January 8 to pick up Mom Violy at her home.

Upon walking around the area of City Walk 1 located at Eastwood City, Quezon City asking the security guards where it would be located.

Mom Violy and Carmina was the first customer arriving at eleven o'clock in the morning.

The server had menus at the table and found out there is a 25% promo is until January 10, 2025.










After placing our order, the server placed a sheet of paper to cover our table since the food would be served there.

No plates just what is at your table with utensils and disposable gloves to wear with bib.

Water is served with plastic cups and a pitcher with ice.

The Big Bang Seafood Bucket Premium of 2,939 pesos ($50.67) was served in an orange bucket with the seafood in a plastic bag when the server will place it at the table.


Family member ordered fish and chips is one of their appetizers for 447.00 pesos ($7.01).

We had a lot of leftovers where you can ask to be placed in a plastic container or clear plastic bag to take it home. Packed using a brown paper bag to bring it home.
