THE BRIGHT SPOT

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 ...

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

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

Food Post: Triple O’s by White Spot Burger

11.22.2014 by Leah //

Anybody here tried the Triple O's (by White Spot) burger at SM Aura?  How did you find it?  Did you like it? You must be wondering why I am asking these questions, when I am obviously writing a food review about it. Well, I wanted to see if I'm the only one here who wasn't impressed with the burgers.  They looked very interesting in the menu; we didn't mind at all the ... READ MORE

Enjoying Life’s Little Pleasures at Magnum Manila

11.15.2014 by Leah //

Would you believe that AJ and I visited Magnum Cafe 3x last month?  Parang sabik lang sa ice cream, ano?  Hehe! The first time we were there, we tried not only their celebrated dessert menu but their savory dishes as well.  I felt like being transported to one of the scenes in Chocolat, where Vianne prepared a full course menu for Armande's birthday, and there ...

Food Post: Bigg’s Diner @ SM Batangas

10.17.2013 by Leah //

AJ and I were at Batangas, my mother's hometown, last Sunday for a family get-together.  It's become our habit to go to SM Batangas after lunch to escape from the afternoon heat and to have coffee at Starbucks hehe. I have been frequenting this mall for years now, but it was only last Sunday that I saw a Bigg's Diner outlet at the ground floor.  I almost screamed when I saw ... READ MORE

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
