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.

Tips in Food Allergy When On the Plane


I just remember something that had happened when we flew back to Manila from Australia apparently we had flew Philippine Airlines and our flight was fully booked when we came home. When they we’re at the process and announced they will be serving our meal and was handed the menu before our meal had arrived.

By, the time our food came to us and we are seated in number 45 and they ran out of food and we had to choose Chicken Adobo which my mom cannot eat chicken due to her allergies and my mom than complained not having enough food for those who we’re last to eat.

My mom had informed them what happens to someone like me who cannot eat certain food what food can you improvise for me to eat than the chicken adobo.

Mistake #1:

We’re informed by the head you need to inform your travel agent once you have booked your flight that you are allergic to certain food and should notify the airlines.

Mistake #2:

When they had announced they will be serving the meals my mom should have informed them ahead of time to give her meal ahead of other passengers.

At this point the flight attendant on duty gave her meal to my mom and they swap their meals.

Based on my mom’s experience it is best to inform your travel agent so they can put a note and there will be away to inform them ahead of time.

Even if my mom claimed she always ridden with the airlines and it just happened the first time it was still her fault but at this point when you’re old you will not accept your own mistake.

I just felt sorry for the flight attendant that was very nice enough to give her meal over someone who demands for her food or else she would have made a big scene inside the plane.
