Often times I would wonder how she'll be as a great grandmother to my twins. Oh, I'm sure she'll shower them with so much love and affection that same way she did to Pan and I. I can just imagine how she would probably call me every single day to check on them and whenever she can, she'll come visit them as often as possible. My twins, on the other hand, will surely love her. L reminds me so much of my Ama. How she has the same slim and long frame, the way she would slightly bang her head against my body as her way of lulling herself to sleep (Ama would gently bang her head against the cushion whenever she tries to fall asleep)..yes, they're kinda weird that same way. Ama will love J's little gentle personality. She may not be with us physically but I am pretty sure that she's up there watching over our three little babies -- my niece A and my twins L and J.
Going back to Blackbird, I was so excited to revisit this restaurant as it was where #thebestbottleever, Como Tomo, was launched! Clearly, it was a Mommy event but the foodie in me just can't help but document our food too. Here's sharing with you our delicious four-course meal at Blackbird:

Fresh greens topped with a generous slice of buffalo mozzarella with chopped peppers for that added kick. I loved it! I must have inhaled my salad a wee bit too fast. Oops, there goes my poise.

Normally served with truffled panini, this is always a safe yet very comforting soup option which everyone loves.

Ohhh the dish that got me so excited! It has been a while since I had a good piece of steak and this one surely didn't disappoint. I love how the butter melted on top of the perfectly cooked steak creating a nice glaze on each slice of steak. So so good! Even the chips had a very homey, smokey flavor that made it so hard to resist.

While I sadly had to push the popcorn away, I happily enjoyed the moist and really decadent chocolate brownie that's topped with a very caramel-y ice cream-like cake (semifredo). So so so good!!
Ambiance-wise of course, Blackbird is really one place worth visiting. Everything about it is just so pretty given the rich historical story behind it. I love the service and I can't wait to visit again perhaps this time for brunch.
Visit Blackbird at the Nielson Tower, Ayala Triangle, Makati City. Call them at 828-4888.
