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.

Did you know you need to peel your asparagus?



Did you know you need to peel your asparagus? I was surprised that my friend was peeling her asparagus before she had cooked it into bowling water. We normally just wash and boil it how it comes from the grocery store.

I had asked my other friend about it and she was also surprised because she does the same thing in what we do as I was asking my friend who was peeling the white asparagus why you need to peel it she said this is what she was taught to do since her boyfriend is a chef.

I had looked into it more and was told when your asparagus is thick you need to peel the tough skin of the asparagus.

Although peeling the thin asparagus is not required to peel the skin it is not bad for you if you plan to eat it so far nothing has happened to me and we eat the skin often the asparagus are very thin the size of your pinky on your hand.

Imagine if I peeled that I have less to eat from it and asparagus are expensive in the Philippines.
