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 ...

Kumori Japanese Bakery and Cafe

I was too curious and walk into this Japanese Bakery to see what they had to offer. I usually buy bread in Bread Talk and Yamato. I wanted to see what bread that I can buy and try for myself. The branch I went to visit was at UP Town Center. I love eating anything with cinnamon and came across a cinnamon roll. I had tried it for breakfast it is not what I had expected. The downside the cream cheese over powered the taste of the cinnamon bread, Maybe they had put too much. The bread is too sweet for me although the bread is really moist and soft. This is coffee bread with raisin. It is actually tasty something I would buy again. These are the other pastry that are sold in the bakery and cafe. Note: Carmina is not selling or advertising for  Kumori Japanese Bakery and Cafe.

Ice Scream for Ice Cream

Apart of our life we look for a sugar rush something to fill up our cravings. No matter what the weather is like from freezing, cold, warm and super hot we look for something to make us satisfied from our sweet tooth. My family loves ice-cream and the best to get their cravings satisfied is from Baskin Robbins.

Craving for Pizza from California

In the Philippines we can purchase S&R New York Style Pizza without being a membership and they have restaurants available in the mall or near a grocery store. S&R is just like the membership wholesale buying like in the United States called, Costco. S&R sells the same type of food carried in Costco in the United States. They also offer food coming from other countries. When I feel like eating clam chowder coming from the US I always just buy it from S&R and eating one cup can fill up my cravings. S&R New York Style Pizza can be delivered from your own home from Food Panda buy purchasing online.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Today, we had no school due to the taal volcano as we are walking around U.P. Town Center you will notice lots of people are wearing mask to prevent inhaling the air. The weather is drizzling and I am wearing a rain coat to prevent getting sick while other people are passing by me with no jacket. My eye’s we’re everywhere when I saw so many places to eat and couldn’t decide where to eat. My stomach was already growling and I needed to think fast to build back my strength. I came across and found something I decided to eat at that I have never tried before I figure this is my chance to write it up and put it in my blog. This restaurant reminded me when I had traveled in Japan in my previous years. Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is not just a ramen restaurant they have different type of Japanese to choose from and I was able to check it out for myself. My tummy has a happy camper. For my appetizers I was able to try my favorite Kurobuta Gyoza with black pork dumplin...
