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

The Bright Spot’s UK Adventure

06.17.2019 by Leah //

It has always been a dream of mine to visit England someday, since I seem to love almost everything about the country:  the Beatles and the Royal Family, football, tea cups, Brit Pop, Harry Potter and Cath Kidston, and the English countryside.   So when my college buddies Denise and her husband Roy invited us to join them in their England and Scotland trip ...

An Unforgettable Meal at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse

12.31.2018 by Leah //

Today is the last day of 2018, and I chose to write about my best dining experience this year - at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Resort World Manila. AJ and I dined here last December 15, sort of an advance Christmas celebration, and a much deserved gift to ourselves - for surviving a difficult and challenging 2018. Our "date" at Wolfgang's was actually unplanned; we had an ... READ MORE

8 Things to Know About Liam

10.24.2018 by Leah //

My favourite nephew turned 8 years old last October 18, and I took some days off from work to fly to Cebu for his birthday weekend.  The weekend celebration happened at Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark - a 5-star family destination with sprawling water complex - doing the thing that Liam loves most: swimming!  The last time we had this kind of getaway was in 2014 when we ...

Crazy Rich Emerald Ring

10.07.2018 by Leah //

I'm one of those excited to see 'Crazy Rich Asians' the movie because I've read the book, and I can just imagine how spectacular and well, crazy, it would look on the big screen! Glad to say that the movie did not disappoint.  It was beautifully made, and every scene was filled with colorful and 'branded' details (hehe!) that I had to watch it again for details I may have ...

Nailed It! Momofuku Milk Bar’s Crack Pie

08.20.2018 by Leah //

Something good finally came out of my binge-watching Netflix!  We made our first Crack Pie and just like that, it's now our instant favorite! I first learned about the Crack Pie when I watched an an episode at Chef's Table featuring Christina Tosi (of the Milk Bar fame) and there she made kwento about how the Crack Pie came to be.   It was just something she made out of the ...

Food Trip Container Yard in Gensan

07.28.2018 by Leah //

I was in General Santos City (or simply "Gensan") last week for work, and it's also my first time to be in this city known for being the "Tuna Capital of the Philippines", and for giving us Manny Pacquiao. Unfortunately, our schedule was packed and we have no time to tour much of the city.  But I was surprised and happy to find Gensan so urbanized, which means that the city ... READ MORE

Ribchon at Tagaytay

06.22.2018 by Leah //

Ribchon is our newest food discovery in Tagaytay, and now when I think of lechon I crave for their Baby Back Baboy! The Baby Back Baboy is Ribchon's version of lechon, but here they used baby back ribs so there's less fat and the finger-licking goodness of baby back ribs is there with a delightful lechon twist! We ordered the Half-Rack (good for 2-3 persons) in ... READ MORE
