THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Caffe Ti-Amo

10.14.2011 by Leah //

Have you been here? Caffe Ti-Amo's specialty is the Affogato - vanilla or tiramisu gelato drowned in expresso!   Pure heaven! This Affogato comes with cashew nuts that I prefer to mix with the gelato and expresso. Can I just say that it's so good, so very good, in fact, but I must not have it too often because of the very strong expresso.   You see, I have been ... READ MORE

Food Post: Mexicali

10.09.2011 by Leah //

You will find the best mexican burritos in town at Mexicali.      Every time AJ and I crave for some heavy-duty burritos, we head to only one place:  Mexicali. My favorite:  Grilled Chicken Burritos (P145.00), with beans, please! It's very filling, what with the generous serving of mexican rice they put in and of course, the chopped grilled chicken meat. During our ... READ MORE

Food Post: Floating Island Restaurant

10.04.2011 by Leah //

We were at Makati Medical Center (MMC) last week because my mom has to undergo an operation to remove her gallstones. We (her bantays) bought our food at Burger King, Pancake House and Mini Stop among the many food stores there at MMC but last Sunday, AJ and I chose to have our lunch at the Floating Island Restaurant for some home-cooked meal. The restaurant has been ... READ MORE

Cara Mia’s Spumoni Surprise

09.26.2011 by Leah //

It's been ages since we've been to CaraMia Gelateria.   We almost always order for one thing every time we're there:  the Spumoni Suprise. Last Sunday we were at Robinson's Place in Ermita and saw a CaraMia Gelateria.    I was reunited with my favorite gelato cake yehey! Spumoni Surprise is a 3-layer gelato cake with a fusion of strawberry, pistachio and chocolate ... READ MORE

Dining at Mr. Choi

09.21.2011 by Leah //

We had a family dinner at Mr. Choi (Robinson's Place, Manila branch) last night and it was a blast!    Everything we ordered were good! Soft tofu and multiple mushroom soup.   Yummy! Radish cake for me and my brother. It's the best I've tasted. Roast Pork Asado is my dad's favorite. We love this steamed fish with garlic - very delicious and ... READ MORE

My Current Comfort Drink

09.18.2011 by Leah //

I am currently addicted to Anastacio's Choco Filipino, a local version of Swiss Miss' hot chocolate but this one's made from our local cocoa: Just perfect for the "ber" months where cold mornings + hot chocolate + holiday Hello Kitty mug = holiday mood!   ... READ MORE

Rediscovering Rufo’s Tapa

09.11.2011 by Leah //

The original Rufo's Tapa restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati City:    (source: Rufo's Tapa website) 27 years later, the restaurant is still there, but it looks modern now with the cemented structure, more open space and bigger logo: The restaurant now has an air-conditioned / closed area, if you don't want to be eating with smokers: Their dining ...

Gourmet Coffee at French Baker

08.30.2011 by Leah //

I was happy to see this nice packaging of French Baker for their brewed coffee.  It's cute and compact - perfect for a take-out coffee. There's always "something sweet" that completes their coffee meal like a bite-size brownie or a cookie.   I like the coffee-cookie combination better.  Maybe because I'm not much into brownies hehe. This set costs only P65.00 and is a ... READ MORE
