Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

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. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Did you know you can teach your friend how to cook a meal through video call?


Every now and then my friend would call me up through video call and ask me what she can cook out what ingredients she has in her home due she miss eating Filipino food but she is staying in a foreign country.

As my friend takes out all the ingredients she has in her home I started analyzing to see what she can make her ingredients in something that she can cook out of it.

It may not be the same ingredients we used back home from the Philippines but with her ingredients we can improvise to make it something close to home.

My friend had some fresh small shrimp, tomato, onion, spinach and bottle white beans. I told my friend she can make into munggo even if the beans we're not exactly the beans we used either way she can eat something that looked like a Filipino dish.

You can find my recipe of my Munggo Recipe through this link to direct you to it.
