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.

Haw Flakes


Being a kid we use our imagination during kindergarten and grade school. We played outside with our neighbors who had kids the same age.

I remember we used card board to make a house in our drive way. We used our dolls and toys to decorate our home.

The food we use was whatever we had in our food pantry by asking permission from our own parents.

I remember we pretended we went to attend church someone had dress up being the priest and a nun. 

My parents had some haw flakes and we pretended that was the bread to serve during our pretend mass.


The color may not be white being small and round made us resemble what the priest had fed us during our mass during our imagination we didn't care what it was made.

When I was young my parents always ate lunch at China Town in San Francisco after our meal we would walk around to shop around to bring food back home. I love eating the Haw Flakes rolled up and eating each circle shape giving you a tart taste in your mouth.

It was the common candy sold in China Town and being a kid you eat any candy that allow your own parents let you eat when you can.

I grew up with both parents being very strict. I grew up being a picky kid.
