THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A Sweet Stay at The Bellevue

06.02.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary by spending a night at The Bellevue Manila in Alabang. We chose this place because of its location (the hotel is at the heart at the premier city in the South and is very near the mall area) and of the good feedbacks we've read online.   It also helped that they have a promo right now (good until June 30 only!), and we ...

A Typical Sunday at Rockwell

05.31.2012 by Leah //

We love spending Sundays at Rockwell Powerplant Mall.  It's not crowded like SM, and is very easy to navigate. The food bazaar is also something we love to check out.  You will find this only on weekends, and it has become our habit to walk around it every time we are at Rockwell. Cosa Brava's Caramel Cake is perhaps the bazaar's best seller (but I would never trade ... READ MORE

Crazy Katsu

05.29.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I purposely went to the Teacher's Village in U.P. Diliman last week to look for and finally try out this much-talked about Japanese restaurant in Quezon City:  Crazy Katsu. The interiors and colors of the restaurant remind me of Muji. Crazy Katsu specializes in...what else but katsu dishes!   All breaded and deep-fried, yummy! For starters, we each had a ... READ MORE

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

05.21.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I saw this new restaurant at Mall of Asia (MOA) in one of our trips there last month.  Its called Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe -  a modern restaurant that serves the best of Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai's street food. You gotta try their Cold Barley Drink (my favorite!) and this jelly drink with long johns and nata de coco - both are house ... READ MORE

More Food Adventure at Bohol Bee Farm

05.14.2012 by Leah //

Remember my post about Bohol Bee Farm?  That was the first stop in our overnight trip to Bohol last month.   We had a 100% organic and very filling lunch there, and then savored that again the following day on our way back to Cebu. Now don't think there weren't many food choices in Bohol (there are, in fact, plenty of local restaurants to try), but its signature organic ... READ MORE

Whoopie Pie!

05.10.2012 by Leah //

I've been putting on some weight lately (sob!) and I blame it on Starbucks' Whoopie Pie!    How can you resist this soft cookie sandwich with eyes looking straight at you? Starbucks' version is sweet (but not too sweet) and I like the soft chocolate cookie more than the creamy filling inside.   I think they offer this for a limited time only so I make sure I get my fix every ...

The Ranch in Old Banilad Road

04.25.2012 by Leah //

Our stay in Cebu was not without fond memories of the restaurants that we tried.  Our newest discovery was The Ranch in the old Banilad Road, thanks to my brother who took his family, me and AJ for a lunch there.  The Ranch is known for its delectable beef and pork menu.   It also has a meat shop where you could buy fresh meat always. I couldn't believe that I've never been ... READ MORE

Art Works and Food

04.17.2012 by Leah //

Can you guess where did I find these cute, comical graphics? The clue is in the chicken! The graphics were from Max's Restaurant - their place mat, exactly hehe.   We were there a few weeks ago for lunch, and I was very amused with the little illustrations in their place mats I know I just have to take pictures of them (using my trusty W995 Sony ...
