THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

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

Chogokin x Hello Kitty Action Figure

06.17.2018 by Leah //

My brother is a big collector of Japan-made robots, and for my birthday last year he surprised me with this limited edition Banda Tamashii Nations Chogokin Hello Kitty (the blue version). I didn't know that Hello Kitty now comes in action figure, hehe!  It's so cool, and the fact that I can play with it is a big plus!  It's definitely an adult toy because of the tiny ... READ MORE

Ken Samudio’s Matthew and Melka

06.15.2018 by Leah //

Sometime last May, I went to a Matthew and Melka private trunk show and there I was able to see and try the much talked about Fleur de Lis floral earrings that literally started the earring buzz here in Manila. The brand Matthew and Melka was created by Ken Samudio, an accessories designer who is the first Filipino to be selected by Vogue Italia as one of the Vogue ... READ MORE

Are you HTTPS-ready?

06.13.2018 by Leah //

I finally secured an SSL certificate for The Bright Spot yesterday, after delaying it for months (my bad!) You will now see the trust mark that is the green padlock and the HTTPS upgrade at my URL address. Yes. My URL address is now officially https://leahdeleon.com You will also see the bottom floater at the lower right portion of my website, which says ... READ MORE

Review: Cath Kidston’s 25th Anniversary Clutch and Mini-Purse

04.08.2018 by Leah //

My favorite British brand, Cath Kidston, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year 2018, and to mark this milestone event, a limited collection of bags, purses, clothes, among others, was released under their '25th Birthday Collection' issue. The drool-worthy anniversary collection pieces are now available online, and this much I can tell you: all  items from the ... READ MORE

Exploring Kyoto + Osaka, the DIY Way (Day 5)

03.31.2018 by Leah //

We spent our last day in Osaka at Universal Studios Japan (USJ).  Despite having explored already some parts of USJ the previous day (see related post here), AJ and I still went there early.  We had a quick breakfast at a McDonald's restaurant we found just outside USJ, before starting our day there. The early morning crowd was kinda thick already - even at 9:00 a.m. I am ... READ MORE
