Family was informed by their friends to try Blackbird at the Nielson Tower and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve. Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order.

Road trip to Cabanatuan City from Manila is three to four hours
drive depending what route you will take. My mom loves taking the back road to
buy fruits, vegetables, salted egg, and balut before we reach our destination.
Stop # 1:
No one can live out with watermelon you see every time you pass by and this is one thing my mom loves to eat either to blend to make a watermelon smoothie or cut up from the refrigerator.
Price of each watermelon is PHP 70.00 ($1.40)
Vegetables sold on the street onion from red or white and raw uncooked peanuts.
Price of Peanut and onions are PHP 100.00 ($2.00) per kilo
Stop # 3:
Exotic balut in what I had mentioned before in my blog on exotic food you may check it out for your reference.
Jing Jing is a place where you buy it wholesale and the main factory that provide other sellers in the Philippines.
Price on salted egg per piece PHP 10.00 ($0.20)
Penoy Balut per piece PHP 6.00 ($0.12)
Balut per piece PHP 11.00 ($0.22)
Penoy Balut has no chick just like an hard boiled chicken egg just it is a duck egg
It is best to contact Jing Jing Store before going there if you plan to buy by the dozen. They tend to run out which had happened to us.
Best to bring egg crate containers with you when you plan to buy by the dozen.
Stop # 4:
My favorite stop over is eating fresh grilled or steam white corn on the road. You can also buy white corn that is uncooked and bring home to your family.
Cost for one white corn is PHP 7.00 ($0.14)
Look for Elan to buy white corn we always buy from him because the white corn is so sweet and fresh.
By the time you come home you have so many goodies to eat the next day.
