THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Cupcakes by Sonja now open at Glorietta 2!

05.12.2013 by Leah //

Yehey!  Cupcakes by Sonja finally branched out of the Serendra Piazza in Bonifacio Global City!  It now has a branch at the newly renovated Glorietta 2 and I couldn't be more glad because it's now nearer our place! But I will definitely miss the smell of freshly-baked cupcakes and the  Cath Kidston prints from their Serendra store because the one at Glorietta 2 is more of a ... READ MORE

Family Mart is Here!

05.04.2013 by Leah //

Family Mart, Japan's 3rd largest convenience store chain, is finally here in Manila!  It opened last April at Glorietta 3, and has since invaded Instagram and Facebook with its many instant fans sharing pictures of their favorite snacks there. Aside from basic grocery items, Family Mart sells its own ready-to-eat food items like sandwiches and bento meals like cold noodles ... READ MORE

Choco Mangga

04.30.2013 by Leah //

We got this as pasalubong from Dino and Juvvy when they were here last month to spend the Holy Week with us and my parents: I learned from Juvvy that this is the latest craze in Cebu - dried mangoes dipped in chocolate!  I thought all along that it was premium Belgian chocolate because it tasted like one, until Juvvy told me otherwise hehe! But I love it, I really ... READ MORE

A Peek at Best Food Forward 2013

04.30.2013 by Leah //

Thanks to Nuffnang Philippines, AJ and I were able to attend the BEST FOOD FORWARD food fair which was held at the NBC Tent last weekend. I learned about it only the day before it opened and when I read that there will be Butter Beers at the fair, this is what immediately came to my mind: Yea, that Magical Drink!  (photo source here) We were able to go on the ...

Food Post: Wingman at The Collective

04.22.2013 by Leah //

What a Monday!  I felt like I was gone for a week because of the reports that I rushed to finish this morning, not to mention the powerpoint presentation for the boss's big report next week that was due before lunch.   I shortened  my lunch  so I could finish the review of a policy document.  Then I spent the rest of the afternoon crunching numbers for a management report that ...

Food Post: Koh Samui Thai Cuisine

04.15.2013 by Leah //

Macapagal Boulevard in Pasay City has become synonymous with "Dampa" because of the many seafood restaurants that you will find.  I was once a regular customer there too, until I got tired of always having to wait to be seated and learned to just place my orders through phone and have them picked up.  I know some people have apprehensions with this set-up because they do not ...

I will not eat at Italiani’s again…

04.11.2013 by Leah //

3 Sundays ago, to celebrate Easter, AJ and I chose to have an early lunch at Italiani's - SM Mall of Asia branch.  It's been a long while since we were last there.  I missed their Sicilian Chicken Salad so much and that's what I immediately ordered when we were seated at our table. We had the lunch serving of the salad (P425.00) and I immediately knew that there was ... READ MORE

New York Cheesecake from Purple Oven

04.09.2013 by Leah //

AJ's Birthday Cake yesterday was from Purple Oven, no less! Purple Oven's bakeshop at San Antonio, Makati is near our place so you could say that this is our immediate "go-to" place when it comes to birthday cakes and other celebration cakes. I had Purple Oven's Apple Pie for my birthday and for AJ's, we had their New York Cheesecake.   Ms. Val of Purple Oven said ... READ MORE
