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.

Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean

 


Carmina didn’t feel like eating the food at home prepared by Manang V, which was beef nilaga and grilled stuffed bangus, due to the humid weather in the Philippines. Eating soup only adds to the heat, especially when the air-conditioner struggles to cool the room.

I decided to go for a salad instead. It felt like a good way to start eating healthy and looking for a place to buy one led me to Medley Modern Mediterranean.

I discovered the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad, which includes romaine lettuce, Israeli salad, wheat, fried eggplant, feta cheese, shrimp, and lemon garlic dressing, all for PHP 379.00 ($7.58).


I thought of getting something extra with my meal in case I wasn't in the mood for the food at home, making it worth the trip in one go. 

I spotted the Levantine Chicken Laffa, which includes chicken thigh, mixed greens, hummus, Israeli salad, fried eggplant, and mamba sauce, priced at PHP 299.00 ($5.98).


I had the chance to try the Smoked Paprika Shrimp Salad and Levantine Chicken Laffa at Medley Modern Mediterranean. The dishes were quite different from my usual choices, but it turned out to be a great experience as I discovered a new dish that I genuinely enjoyed.
