THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Citrus Juicer

03.02.2012 by Leah //

Found this citrus squeezer with a glass container at S&R the other week for only P120.00.  It was perfect for our stock of oranges which we are taking a lot these days because not only are they in season, they really are refreshing drinks especially now that summer has set in: The citrus squeezer was so easy to use and squeezes the most juice out of the oranges, ...

My Oscars Best Dressed 2012

02.28.2012 by Leah //

Now that we know who won what at the Oscars (too bad The Help, my bet, didn't win Best Picture), we can look back at the red carpet scenes and vote for our best dressed stars. I only have 4 in my list who made the most impact at the red carpet (at least for me).   The others I think were very predictable already in their choice of attire (like J. Lo and we can already count ... READ MORE

Food Post: Panciteria Lido

02.28.2012 by Leah //

I've been hearing about the pugon-roasted (pugon is brick oven in English) asado (roast pork) of Panciteria Lido and how good it was.     I've tried brick-oven cooked pizzas but roast pork?  This is gonna be my first. We were finally able to try it when we passed by a Panciteria Lido branch along Pasong Tamo, on our way to Waltermart. You won't miss the restaurant ... READ MORE

Hello Kitty Bags

02.25.2012 by Leah //

I've never outgrown my "addiction" over Hello Kitty items.  Although I'm not a serious collector of her merchandise, I still find myself buying things (and even food) that have her face on it, and receiving a Hello Kitty item as gift always make my day.   To quote the tagline at her Sanrio website: "small gift, big smile". I am right now obsessing over these Hello Kitty bags ... READ MORE

Revisiting Mr. Jones

02.23.2012 by Leah //

It's been a while since AJ and I last ate at Mr. Jones.   We super love this restaurant which serves a mix of Filipino, Italian and American dishes in a 50's diner-style ambiance.  The last time we went there it was closed due to some renovation. Our favorite there was the Tapa Overload (featured previously in my blog) and I was craving for one last Sunday so we headed to ... READ MORE

Our DIY Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice

02.20.2012 by Leah //

Not really a DIY recipe but we're happy to have discovered this ready-to-mix spice paste for hainanese chicken at the Landmark: It's by Asian Home Gourmet and costs only P74.75 (that's less than $2.00!). The very simple ingredients: 1 packet Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice Spice Paste (good for 4 servings) 450g (1 lb) chicken thighs, cut 3 slis through the ... READ MORE

An English Breakfast, Pinoy Style

02.19.2012 by Leah //

I've been meaning to share these English bangers that we discovered at Earle's Delicatessen.  We regularly shop there for our sandwich delis, and recently we discovered that they sell ready-to-cook English bangers, Pinoy longganisa and even Hickory baby back ribs as well.     They sell the English bangers by the dozen and a pack costs just around P110.00 - P120.00, depending on ...

Another Lampshade Make Over

02.18.2012 by Leah //

I think our little lamp is already due for another make-over, whaddya think? I know my first try at a DIY lampshade wasn't 100% successful, as you could see from the weird linings at the top and bottom.   While the cloth was colorful and the print beautiful, it needs to blend with the over-all color motif of our apartment which is mainly in shades of brown and light ...
