THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Food Post: Nolita @ Bonifacio High Street

07.19.2014 by Leah //

Random searching at Zomato Philippines led me to Nolita, a gourmet pizza place located at Bonifacio High Street.  The words "New York-style pizza" immediately caught my attention, because that means their pizzas must be are large and thin and crispy at the base. What we were not prepared for was the price.  Mahal sya ha! But the pizzas look inviting so gave them a ... READ MORE

Food Post: Hai Chix & Steaks @ SM Jazz

07.13.2014 by Leah //

We're so happy to find that Hai Chix & Steaks, the crowd-favorite steak house in Ortigas, is now open at SM Jazz Makati! Voted as the "Best Steak Place" by looloo app in 2013, food bloggers have been raving about the surprisingly affordable steaks at Hai Chix & Steaks, now favored over the P2,000 steaks at Mamou's or Myron's. AJ and I were able to try this ... READ MORE

Food Post: The Food Club

07.03.2014 by Leah //

I love trying out buffet restaurants, so when my Ninang Caro invited me, AJ and my cousin Mae to have dinner at The Food Club last month (to celebrate her birthday), we said yes right away! The Food Club is located at Blue Bay Walk in Macapagal Boulevard which, by the way, is fast becoming our foodie mecca because of the many new restaurants lined up there.  We always look ...

Roast Pork Tenderloin

06.21.2014 by Leah //

Another cooking milestone for me:  baking my first roast pork using just 5 ingredients:  pork tenderloin, 2 kinds of seasonings, olive oil and salted butter!  My pegs were Patricia and Ree's roast beef recipes, but I used pork tenderloin instead of beef. Ree used Lawry's Seasoned Salt and McCormick's Lemon and Pepper seasoning salt as meat spice rub. I tried to look for ... READ MORE

Vom Fass Philippines: The House of Spirits

06.14.2014 by Leah //

We found this new shop at SM Aura selling vinegar, oils, spirits and wines in personalized bottles.  It's called Vom Fass and to those who are not familiar with it (like me, at first), Vom Fass originated from Germany where it pioneered the trend of selling spirits, wines and oils from the cask.  They are packaged in attractive bottles, making them ideal as gifts and lovely ...

Food Post: Project Pie’s Artisan Pizzas

06.12.2014 by Leah //

I'm kind of late writing about Project Pie Philippines, which almost everyone I know has tried already and gave it good feedback.  I got to try it only this year after they opened a new branch at Blue Bay Walk in Macapagal Boulevard, which is very near my workplace. I've gone back there for a few times already, always excited to try new flavors.  After all, this is the only ... READ MORE

Food Post: Recess by Chef Chris

06.04.2014 by Leah //

AJ and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last week.  Since our anniversary day fell on a weekday (and I was not sure then if I can take a leave from work), we decided to celebrate it in advance last Saturday.  We had a lunch date at Recess by Chef Chris, located at Jupiter Street in Makati. We were very excited to try this restaurant because of Chef Chris, whose ... READ MORE

Food Post: Rekados Cafe & Restorante

05.25.2014 by Leah //

Cruising along Santa Rosa-Tagaytay Highway, you will find rows and rows of tarpaulin ads for Rekado Cafe and Restorante - the newest restaurant to open in Tagaytay.  The tarpaulins showed pictures of their select menu - which is a fusion of Filipino, Spanish and Italian dishes.  It was these tarpaulins that convinced me and AJ to take our lunch stop there, when we went to ...
