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. ...

I'm still hung up for the holidays, and who isn't? The chilly January weather makes me crave for coffee and sweet dessert (aside from sleep) any time of the day! Let me share with you some of the good stuff I discovered while on a 2-week Christmas break last year. I can't believe I had so much sweets(!), but all were in eaten in moderation naman =) ...

Taking a short break…
Hello, friends! I am supposed to write tonight the continuation of our sumptuous luncheon at Ogetsu Hime some weeks ago (read the first part of my food post here) but I am very much distracted with the work I took home (didn't realize it was plenty!) so the second part will come out later this week instead. I am already halfway done with the office reports in my to-do list ... READ MORE
Food Post: Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings
I am so used to hearing this from my officemates: "You're having chicken again for lunch?". Yes, I really am a chicken person. And my favorite part is, of course, the wings! The reason is simple: it has the most balat (skin) of the chicken which I really love. I also find it to be the most flavorful part of a chicken, maybe cause the meat is not thick, allowing the spices ... READ MORE

It's meant to be a regular feature here in The Bright Spot, wherein you'll see my random food and shopping discoveries. Or rather, those that I forgot to make detailed kwento about. So here ...

New York Cheesecake from Purple Oven
AJ's Birthday Cake yesterday was from Purple Oven, no less! Purple Oven's bakeshop at San Antonio, Makati is near our place so you could say that this is our immediate "go-to" place when it comes to birthday cakes and other celebration cakes. I had Purple Oven's Apple Pie for my birthday and for AJ's, we had their New York Cheesecake. Ms. Val of Purple Oven said ... READ MORE
I found the best Blueberry Cheesecake at Facebook!
I LOVE cheesecakes. My ultimate indulgence is the New York Cheesecake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, but my ultimate favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, which I get from the Red Ribbon Bakeshop. It used to be that I buy blueberry cheesecake only at Red Ribbon. I love their blueberry filling very much, as well as the rich, creamy taste (and texture) of the cream ... READ MORE
