THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Our Jackpot Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache

09.16.2013 by Leah //

We posted both at Instagram and Facebook this picture of the chocolate cake that we baked last night, and it made a lot of our friends crave for one!   For our first try, this is really a jackpot cake!  From the smooth and intense chocolate ganache to the moist and almost melt-in-the-mouth soft cake - everything was what we hoped for a classic chocolate cake. This cake ... READ MORE

Food Post: 10 Dove Street

09.12.2013 by Leah //

I first read about 10 Dove Street from one of my favorite bloggers, Ms. Aileen of Travel.Food.Finds.  She takes really amazing photos, and I bet you too will drool over her yummy pictures of the cakes she and her friend had when they visited this quaint little café nestled inside a residential subdivision in Cebu (read her blog post here). Yes, the quaint little café is ... READ MORE

Food Post: Tymad Bistro (in Cebu)

09.07.2013 by Leah //

On a beautiful Saturday last week, my brother Dino and sis-in-law Juvvy treated me to breakfast at Tymad Bistro, which is just a walking distance from their home. What is 'Tymad'?  Tymad means “good house” or “good restaurant.” The word is actually from a Celtic language that originated from Brittany in France, where crepes came from. (source) I regretted being in ... READ MORE

Pesto Bacon-Wrapped Fish Fillets

09.04.2013 by Leah //

Our dinner two Sundays ago: I got lots of "Likes" when I posted this photo at my personal Facebook account.  It's the bacon, I think, which caught everyone's attention hehe! If you have tried my recipe for Bacon Pesto Pasta and liked it, then you should definitely try this recipe.  I used the same ingredients for the 2 recipes:  Clara Ole's Cheesy Pesto Pasta Sauce ...

Cheese Biscuits

09.02.2013 by Leah //

A few Sundays ago, AJ and I made Cheese Biscuits for breakfast, using this ready-mix flour from Mary Callender's that we bought at Rustan's Supermarket - Rockwell Branch for less than P100.00. It was so easy to do - just whisk together melted butter, fresh milk and the flour. Stir in the biscuit mix until a moist dough forms. We made 5 mounds of biscuits dough ... READ MORE

Bonding with the Fam Bam in Cebu

09.01.2013 by Leah //

I just spent 3 wonderful days in Cebu for some R&R, bonding time with my parents and brother's family (and it was his birthday last Thursday), and to attend Liam's school program (my first)! The last time I saw Liam was in April.  Although I keep tab of all his developments (thanks to Facebook and emails), I miss bonding (i.e. playing) with him already so when my mom ... READ MORE

Foodgasm: Triple the Flavor at Mercato Centrale

08.28.2013 by Leah //

Foodgasm.   The euphoric sensation upon tasting amazingly delicious food. (source:  Urban Dictionary) Imagine this:  30 foodgasm-worthy dishes and sweets waiting to be discovered on Saturday, August 31, 2013, at Mercato Centrale: Too bad I cannot be in this food event (and this is something a foodie like me is always looking forward to!) because I am in Cebu on that ...

The Good Stuff #2

08.25.2013 by Leah //

It really delights me to know that most of you here share my love for food, washi tapes, DIY projects, travels and even jewelry!  That's why I wrote  "The Good Stuff"  last February.  It's meant to be a regular feature here in The Bright Spot, wherein you'll see my random food and shopping discoveries.   Or rather, those that I forgot to make detailed kwento about. So here ... READ MORE
