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 ...

Vietnamese Sandwiches at Banh Mi Kitchen



Carmina had a family member ask what to eat for lunch since the kitchen was being disinfected and we couldn’t cook. The family member had recently started a diet, and Carmina suggested eating something healthier instead of resorting to fast food. When Carmina asked if they wanted sandwiches, I started naming various places, but the person kept saying no. I then suggested the Vietnamese sandwiches we usually enjoy when dining out. The family member agreed, and we decided to revisit a spot we had tried in the past. Since the family member isn’t a fan of vegetables, I always order the veggies and sauce on the side. My friend, who is knowledgeable about exercise and health, recommends incorporating protein into a diet. Following that advice, we chose the Protein Monster, which includes Vietnamese BBQ pork, ham, roasted pork, and omelets, with other ingredients like pâté, cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, mayo, hoisin sauce, and cilantro served on the side. It costs PHP 159.00 for a Junior Size or PHP 229.00 ($4.58) for a Full Size.


Lemongrass Chicken includes Vietnamese BBQ chicken, served with sides like pâté, cucumber, pickled radish and carrots, mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, and cilantro. The Junior Size is priced at PHP 109.00, with an additional PHP 80.00, making the total cost PHP 189.00 ($3.78).


The Classic includes Vietnamese ham, roast pork, carrots, mayo, hoisin sauce, cilantro, pâté, cucumber, and pickled radish and carrots. It costs PHP 109.00 for the Junior size, or you can pay an extra PHP 80.00 for the Full size, totaling PHP 189.00 ($3.78).


With no electricity for three hours in the Philippines and relying only on a generator at home, a cold drink became a necessity. For someone on a diet, it turned into a small cheat day with a large caramel drink priced at PHP 159.00 ($3.18).



Vietnamese Sandwich was all wrapped up and secured when it had arrived in a paper sleeve.
