THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

An Afternoon Tea, Mariage Frères Style

08.21.2015 by Leah //

The next time you find yourself at Century City Mall, do stop by Lartizan Boulangerie Francaise and have a salon de the experience with their très abordable Le The d'Apres-Midi (Afternoon Tea). Thought you couldn't get more French than the eclair and macaron on the menu?  Wait till you see their wide selection of Mariage Frères premium leaf teas.  Yes, Mariage Frères, as ... READ MORE

A Maitre Chocolatier in Makati

07.27.2015 by Leah //

I am not exactly what you call a chocoholic, but I love to have good quality chocolates from time to time. It is my husband who actually loves chocolates (you gotta check out his chocolate cake recipes HERE and HERE), so it was not a surprise that he saw this little chocolate shop along Jupiter Street in Makati while driving, and I (who was on the lookout for a nice dessert ...

Starting my day right with McDonald’s all-new Cheesy Eggdesal

07.25.2015 by Leah //

I am a breakfast person.  I can skip lunch but not breakfast.  I go to the office extra early so I can enjoy my breakfast longer, then I'm off to a busy day with meetings and/or projects to attend to. When it comes to breakfast food, I am not exactly picky.  On an ordinary day I would have pandesal + scrambled eggs + black coffee (no sugar, no cream).  Or just Nestlé Acti-V ... READ MORE

Food Post: KyoChon Korean Fried Chicken

07.18.2015 by Leah //

I have not been updated with the changing food scene in Manila, so when the hubby and I checked out KyoChon at Estancia Mall in Capitol Commons, my excitement level was not at all high.  After all, this isn't the first time I'm having Korean fried chicken.  I've been to Bonchon and Holdak a number of times so what else could be new with this one? Does this description in ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #8

07.10.2015 by Leah //

The foodie in me strikes again! Here's another round-up of good food I've discovered (and re-discovered) the past months: Veal Cheeks Ravioli at Va Bene Pasta Deli.   A ravioli dish like no other.  Portobello mushroom sauce, veal juice and parmesan cheese makes up this ordinary looking but divine pasta dish. Dynamite Roll at Jipan. Since I discovered this ... READ MORE

Minions take over McDonald’s!

07.09.2015 by Leah //

The Minions are back and they have officially taken over McDonald's! A full Minion experience awaits, as Kevin, Stuart, and Bob - stars of the Minions Movie - bring us the Minions Banana Festival. Get ready to go ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-nana every time you enter a McDonald's store with the new Minions Happy Meal toys - 10 Minions collectibles now available in store - and the Minions ... READ MORE

An Opportunity of a Lifetime (Part 2)

06.27.2015 by Leah //

Finally, a follow-up to the hubby's widely read travelogue about his trip to Toronto last year.  This time, he'll talk about food!   (Click here for the 1st part.) *********************************************** Hi everyone, I’m back.  Anyway, as promised, let me share with you my culinary experiences during that 3-week stay in downtown Toronto. The Hyatt on King Street ... READ MORE

Casetta del Divino Zelo

06.12.2015 by Leah //

If you've been to Ilog Maria's Honeybee Farm in Silang, Cavite then you've probably seen this gated "house" outside Ilog Maria - covered with potted plants and baby trees. Last month when AJ and I went to Ilog Maria to buy more of their natural bee pollen (which we take daily), we made sure to check out this gated "house", which we learned from friends was a little convent ...
