Our first time to try Island Pacific, recommended by family friend, to buy grilled food. I'm really impressed on how clean the store and efficient the staffs are. I ended up staying longer and buying more food as we don't have this kind of store in Santa Monica, CA. Here's a quick summary:
GRILLED STORE: food is exceptionally delish! Bought BBQ, grilled pampano, asado, menudo and crispy pata. Super nice staffs and delicious food. Had to control my temptations of buying more but definitely will come back again.
GROCERY STORE: fully stocked with lots of choices and fresh meats and produce. Kids spent time at isle 7, kiddie goodies. I got Manila mangoes and kapampangan tarts. Soooo good!
BAKERY: found these very rare ube with leche flan cupcakes, got to buy couple and took the chocolate cupcake with leche flan too. Used to drive 30 miles to West Covina just for these babies.
Will definitely come back again! Love the way the management has decorated the store too. You have to see to believe. PS I definitely deserve a discount for this review, LOL.
