THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

Food Post: Koh Samui Thai Cuisine

04.15.2013 by Leah //

Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City has become synonymous with "Dampa" because of the many seafood restaurants that you will find.  I was once a regular customer there too, until I got tired of always having to wait to be seated and learned to just place my orders through phone and have them picked up.  I know some people have apprehensions with this set-up because they do not ...

Lazy Saturday, Busy Sunday

04.14.2013 by Leah //

I had a lazy Saturday yesterday.  So much so that I did not get out of the apartment the whole day!  Thankfully the weather was not as scorching hot as last week so I was able to do some organizing at home and enjoy this special ensaymada from Cafe Mary Grace: I took home a box of Mary Grace ensaymada (6 pieces for P330.00) last Friday and I grilled one (using our oven ...

Shopping Galore at 168 Mall Divisoria

04.12.2013 by Leah //

I love Divisoria!  This is my shopping mecca for clothes, housekeeping items, art and craft materials and everything in between.  Like other 168 Mall shoppers, I am drawn not only to the variety of commodities available and their wholesale prices but the place itself - it's clean, organized and air-conditioned, just like in a mall! What I enjoy most in shopping at 168 Mall ... READ MORE

I will not eat at Italiani’s again…

04.11.2013 by Leah //

3 Sundays ago, to celebrate Easter, AJ and I chose to have an early lunch at Italiani's - SM Mall of Asia branch.  It's been a long while since we were last there.  I missed their Sicilian Chicken Salad so much and that's what I immediately ordered when we were seated at our table. We had the lunch serving of the salad (P425.00) and I immediately knew that there was ... READ MORE

Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Style

04.09.2013 by Leah //

I am a big fan of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture and if only we're not living in the city where dust is everywhere, I'd most likely have painted all walls in our apartment white and buy distressed furniture for a complete shabby chic look. That aside, I love looking at and reading about her shabby chic inspirations which she documented well in her books - that's 7 ... READ MORE

New York Cheesecake from Purple Oven

04.09.2013 by Leah //

AJ's Birthday Cake yesterday was from Purple Oven, no less! Purple Oven's bakeshop at San Antonio, Makati is near our place so you could say that this is our immediate "go-to" place when it comes to birthday cakes and other celebration cakes. I had Purple Oven's Apple Pie for my birthday and for AJ's, we had their New York Cheesecake.   Ms. Val of Purple Oven said ... READ MORE

Winner of the Bird Cage Decal Sticker

04.08.2013 by Leah //

We have a winner for the bird cage decal sticker! AJ and I enjoyed reading all entries to the question I posted as part of my  little blog give-away 2 weeks ago:  Which part of your home needs updating and why? And because it was AJ's birthday yesterday (Happy Birthday!  Mwah!), he got to choose the winner! And the winner is.... JOSH TOMELDAN! Printed below is ... READ MORE

Food Post: Masuki

04.05.2013 by Leah //

We've found another reason to visit SM Mall of Asia (SM MOA for short) more often: Yes, it's Masuki!   Dubbed as  "The Antigua Mami in Chinatown",  Masuki is a foodie's dream destination for old-fashioned wonton mami (wonton noodle soup) and asado siopao (pork buns). Wonton Mami (P140/regular and P150/special).  Meat-filled dumplings and Masuki's famous mami noodles ... READ MORE
