THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Flower Bouquet Cupcakes

05.15.2015 by Leah //

Just sharing with you these gorgeous-looking and super yummy caramel cupcakes I ordered from Blue Toque for my mom last Sunday, in celebration of Mother's Day.  It was the design that really caught my attention - lovely blooms in orange peach and green - making these floral cupcakes look like a bouquet when arranged in a plate. I've had my share of disappointing cupcakes ... READ MORE

No-Bake Summer Dessert Recipes with Lemon Square

05.08.2015 by Leah //

The unforgiving summer heat has made it difficult for AJ to resume his baking experiments, which is sad because I do like to munch on his chocolate or butter cake after dinner to cap my evening.   And now that we are hitting 37-38 degrees Celsius this summer, I need cold sweets too + lots of water to keep my body from collapsing from the terrible heat. With AJ’s baking ... READ MORE

Food Post: UCC Clockwork

03.14.2015 by Leah //

Adventurous coffee drinkers will surely love it at UCC Clockwork in Blue Bay Walk, where coffee is the prized item in the menu.  I find it a tad expensive than our regular UCC (or Starbucks) coffee but I guess it's because what you are essentially paying for here is the way your coffee is prepared.  All coffee orders here are specially made, available in different brewing ...

Food Post: Socrates’ Secret Restaurant

02.20.2015 by Leah //

A restaurant with the word "Secret" attached to its name is bound to pique my curiosity.  Add to that the enigmatic name "Socrates" and I knew that we're on to something interesting. Some weeks ago, AJ and I were invited to try this Greek taverna located at Laguna Central, Greenfield City.  AJ and I are actually very familiar with Laguna Central - being our "pit stop" ...

London Calling

02.14.2015 by Leah //

Let me share with you this fondant cake I received from my Ninang Caro and her family last week (my birthday week), which AJ and I got to slice up only the other day. Next to Hello Kitty, I am addicted to anything British.  From my music preferences (The Beatles, Brit Pop heroes like Oasis and Blur, and even The Verve) to movies (I love watching BBC films) to books (Ian ...

A Sweet Life at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

02.08.2015 by Leah //

Who would have thought that the universe will conspire with AJ in giving me a grand and surprise birthday gift yesterday: a sumptuous buffet dinner + overnight stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams! You all know how much we enjoyed our stay there last Christmas (read all about that HERE), and while I know of the hubby's plan to celebrate my birthday there with a special dinner, I ... READ MORE

Pellegrino’s (No-Bake) Blueberry Cheesecake

01.31.2015 by Leah //

This is not the first time I'll be writing (and raving) about a good blueberry cheesecake.  As some of you may already know, I am a big fan of blueberry cheesecakes.  And that I'm very picky when it comes to the cream cheese filling.  I don't like it too light nor too heavy.  The smooth consistency must be there.  And most of all, it must not be too sweet. ...

Salcedo Saturday Market

01.25.2015 by Leah //

The weather yesterday was too perfect to be wasted indoors.  There's some sun but it was mostly cloudy and chilly.  With nothing major planned that day, AJ and I decided to head to the Salcedo Saturday Market to finally check it out. ... READ MORE
