THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Nescafe Cappuccino Coffee Mix now available!

04.28.2014 by Leah //

Having spent our weekend in the land in Amadeo coffee, it sure was a delight for me to be welcomed home with this gift from Nescafe (and Nuffnang Philippines): Sakto rin because I think I drank too much black coffee while in Tagaytay, and my body is craving for a much "lighter" coffee drink but still with the aroma and flavor of freshly brewed coffee. Cappuccino has ... READ MORE

Baked Dory with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto and Cheese

04.21.2014 by Leah //

I have a confession to make:  the only fish that I can cook is the dory fish! I like that it's readily available in the supermarket - cleaned and vacuum-sealed.  It doesn't have tinik and most of all, hindi sya malansa. During the lenten break last week,  I made sure to stock on some dory fish to cook at home since we decided not to go on a lenten 'holiday' this year.  I ... READ MORE

Food Post: COCA Cafe @ SM Jazz Mall

04.16.2014 by Leah //

I discovered COCA Cafe at SM Jazz in Makati - by accident. I thought it was the same COCA Restaurant that AJ and I saw SM Aura, but weren't able to try yet.  We were happy to find 'it' at SM Jazz Mall during one of our weekend strolls there. I asked the male attendant at COCA Cafe if this is the same restaurant with branch at SM Aura and he said he did not know. I ... READ MORE

Food Post: Early Bird Breakfast Club

03.27.2014 by Leah //

I'm not new to the Early Bird Breakfast Club.  We used to frequent this whole-day breakfast café at their maiden branch in The Fort, BGC.  Now that it has opened its second branch at the new Century City Mall in Makati, there's no more need for us to travel all the way to Taguig.  The Century City Mall is just a 5-minutes drive from our home, so having a breakfast dinner here ...

New Zealand Natural Premium Ice Cream (at Glorietta).  What's not to love about this ice cream? It has no artificial flavoring and coloring.   It comes in a wide variety of ... READ MORE

Cooking with Terra Cota Garlic Roaster

03.15.2014 by Leah //

I LOVE garlic.  That's why adobo and salpicao are two (2) of my favorite dishes - the more garlic are put in them, the more delicious they become. So when Ms. Ellen (of The Pseudoshrink) asked if I wanted buy a Terra Cota Garlic Roaster that she is selling, I said yes right away.  I have always wanted to try at home the Aglio e Olio Spaghetti recipe that I order at Italian ...

ZAP Crawl @ Greenhills

03.11.2014 by Leah //

Something amazing happened to me and AJ last Saturday: we got ZAPped! That is, we found ourselves "zapped" at instantaneous events with our fellow bloggers on that memorable Saturday evening, I'm talking about the ZAP Crawl: Greenhills merchant tour that The Bright Spot got invited to.  Sponsored by ZAP Philippines, selected lifestyle and food bloggers were taken around ...

Food Post: Fariñas Ilocos Empanada

03.07.2014 by Leah //

The Collective @ Makati is really full of gastronomic wonders!  It was here where I discovered the hottest chicken wings (at Wingman) and honey coffee flavored vegetarian ice cream (at Ritual). Lately, our visits to The Collective are triggered by this merienda craving for Ilocos empanadas. And these are not your ordinary Ilocos empanadas, mind.  The restaurant ... READ MORE
