THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Embracing Japan’s Culinary Culture at Ogetsu Hime

03.01.2014 by Leah //

This is the continuation of my food post on Ogetsu Hime, which I decided to break into two (2) separate posts because I couldn't miss out on everything we had there.  Yes, they're ALL that good! Click here for the first installment of my review on Ogetsu Hime, which is all about sushi and Japanese rolls! For the main course, two (2) of Ogetsu Hime's superstar dishes were ... READ MORE

Gourmet Chicken Adobo

02.26.2014 by Leah //

My birthday month is almost over and lest I forget, here's the Gourmet Chicken Adobo recipe that I promised to share when I wrote about our Asahi convection oven (thanks to all your wonderful comments, by the way!) I got this adobo recipe from the same cookbook where I found the recipe for Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom - the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl ... READ MORE

Chocolate Cupcakes with Cheesecake Chunks

02.23.2014 by Leah //

The hubby was in the mood for baking last Wednesday and made these delectable chocolate cupcakes with a twist (yummy!). He's also in the mood for another guest post here in the The Bright Spot, as there's an interesting story to tell behind these celebratory cupcakes that he made (no help from me this time, hehe!). Read on, and enjoy AJ's ... READ MORE

Rockin’ Raw and Rolls at Ogetsu Hime

02.18.2014 by Leah //

A new Japanese restaurant has opened at SM Aura in December last year, and the hubby and I were invited 2 Saturdays ago to try their selection of dishes.  We don't have an inkling of what the restaurant has to offer, but when I googled up the English translation of its name, my eyes lit up because I saw the words "goddess of food".  The restaurant's name is Ogetsu Hime, short ...

Product Review: Asahi Convection Oven

02.03.2014 by Leah //

If I will be asked to name a kitchen appliance that newly-wed couples should immediately invest in, it's the convection oven.  We belatedly bought ours in August last year and right now, we use it more than we use our microwave oven and gas stove.  There's just so much you can do with a convection oven and so much flexibility as compared to, say, microwave oven or oven ...

Food Post: Franco’s at Rockwell Powerplant

01.28.2014 by Leah //

AJ and I are big fans of Myron's Steak. We preferred dining at their Rockwell Branch (over the one at Greenbelt) because of its cozy ambiance and formal look that made it perfect for dinner dates.   We had planned on having dinner there sometime in October last year (because I miss their Chicken Inasal already!) when I remembered that a new restaurant has replaced Myron's na ...

Dark Chocolate Cake with Coffee Cream Filling and Dark Chocolate Ganache

01.14.2014 by Leah //

A lovely Tuesday to y'all! Now that our ants problem is gone (as in totally; there are no more ants in our kitchen counter top, yey!), we can talk about something sweet! Today's post is written by the hubby, AJ, who is more than happy to share with you  this simple chocolate cake that we made last December and became the "Star of our Noche Buena". But before you ...

My Holiday Feast

01.02.2014 by Leah //

Happy New Year, dear readers! I just reported back to work today (after taking a 2-week holiday vacation) and was relieved to find my In-tray to be still visible (meaning, it's not swamped with memos and other paperworks).  I had no problems getting my work groove back because I've rested well during my vacation, and I think a lot of people are still on holiday break so ...
