THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Sen Lek Thai

09.19.2012 by Leah //

Another Thai food adventure and at SM Food Court at that! Sen Lek Thai offers authentic Thai cuisine at budget meal prices.  Their menu reminded me of DekA Thai Food which AJ and I have tried early this year.   I'm not exactly a fan of Thai foods but I do love, love a good Pad Thai. Here's the Pad Thai we ordered at Sen Lek Thai.  Would you believe that this big plate ... READ MORE

Venice Piazza

09.14.2012 by Leah //

AJ has been telling me about Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill in Taguig for a time, and he took me there one rainy Saturday so we can stroll around the piazza and check out the sights. Venice Piazza, as it name implies, looks like a small city square ("piazza") with a mall that houses a variety of restaurants.  It also has a paved open space that's perfect for events, ...

Food Post: The Forgettable Taparazzi

09.08.2012 by Leah //

I was craving for a good tapsilog (a meal composed of beef tapa, fried egg and garlic rice) last week and AJ suggested that we try this restaurant along McKinley Hill that serves mainly tapsilog meals. It's called Taparazzi, and I really pinned my hopes at this name which gave me the impression that they serve really, really good tapsilog (better than Rufo's). The ... READ MORE

Food Post: Amici Don Bosco

09.08.2012 by Leah //

From its humble beginnings at the St. John Don Bosco compound in Makati City, Amici Don Bosco became a household name with its Italian pasta dishes, pizzas (that are baked in brick ovens) and gelatos that are simply to-die-for.    People also raved about their cafeteria-type environment and  self-service concept.   The servers will only bring you the plates and the food; you ...

Bulgogi Brothers

08.29.2012 by Leah //

I'm not exactly a fan of Korean cuisine, and it was only recently that I discovered how flavorful the food were, and how surprisingly easy they are to prepare.  I've done Korean Chicken Wings and Chap Chae - both of which turned out to be really good and instant favorites (my mom really loved my Korean Chicken Wings). So I was really excited when my brother invited us to try ... READ MORE

Chicken Sisig a la Mama Sita

08.18.2012 by Leah //

I found this at the Landmark supermarket and since AJ and I love sisig, we just have to try making one at home! Cooking your own sisig using Mama Sita's ready mix is so easy!  I used chicken meat (instead of pork) and it came out pretty good!   First thing you need to do is to boil the meat until it's cooked.   Then cut it into small pieces and fry  (you can also choose ...

New Discoveries at Starbucks

08.12.2012 by Leah //

After introducing the sinful Whoopie Pie which AJ and I love to bits, Starbucks has introduced a new dessert that is just as sinful as the Whoopie Pie, only this one is an instant favorite: the Mocha Silvana. What's not to love about this one?  Unlike your typical silvana which is made of very rich buttercream sandwiched between two cashew meringue wafers, this one has a ... READ MORE

Afternoon Tea at Manila Peninsula

08.11.2012 by Leah //

I delayed writing about our afternoon tea experience at Manila Peninsula because we all got busy and scared and wet in the last few days due to the flooding caused by that storm with no name. Now that the sun is up (it's actually beautiful day today) and everything is calm, we can all go back to our daily routines and maybe hold a little thanksgiving celebration.   As for ... READ MORE
