THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

I will not eat at Italiani’s again…

04.11.2013 by Leah //

3 Sundays ago, to celebrate Easter, AJ and I chose to have an early lunch at Italiani's - SM Mall of Asia branch.  It's been a long while since we were last there.  I missed their Sicilian Chicken Salad so much and that's what I immediately ordered when we were seated at our table. We had the lunch serving of the salad (P425.00) and I immediately knew that there was ... READ MORE

Food Post: Masuki

04.05.2013 by Leah //

We've found another reason to visit SM Mall of Asia (SM MOA for short) more often: Yes, it's Masuki!   Dubbed as  "The Antigua Mami in Chinatown",  Masuki is a foodie's dream destination for old-fashioned wonton mami (wonton noodle soup) and asado siopao (pork buns). Wonton Mami (P140/regular and P150/special).  Meat-filled dumplings and Masuki's famous mami noodles ... READ MORE

Happy Hour Munchies

04.03.2013 by Leah //

Munchies (noun, plural of munchie).  A snack or small item of food. A sudden strong desire for food. Do you love munchies?  Between me and AJ, he is the one who loves munchies and he always bring some to work to eat during his break time.   I, on the other hand, loves snacking during weekends at home while watching movies.   That means our pantry cabinet and ...

Food Post: CYMA Greek Taverna

04.01.2013 by Leah //

We celebrated my dad's 6_th birthay last month at CYMA in Robinson's Manila, one of the few restaurants in the Metro that serves really good Mediterranean food. We haven't been back here for a long time so to celebrate the event (and our homecoming of sort), we ordered these palate tested dishes: Flaming Cheese (Saganaki).  That's Mozarella, Parmesan and EVOO served ...

Menggay’s Kasoy (Cashew Nuts)

03.28.2013 by Leah //

My family and I were at Antipolo City earlier for our annual Station of the Cross reading.  It has been a tradition of ours to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage / Immaculate Concepcion Parish at Antipolo every Maundry Thursday, even if it means traveling 1.5 to 2-hours from our home in Makati. After the reading and offering of prayers to Our ... READ MORE

A Veggie Good Breakfast from Starbucks

03.28.2013 by Leah //

I discovered this veggie sandwich from Starbucks 2 weeks ago and I've had this as breakfast/lunch at home and at work for more than 3x already. The Ratatouille and Mozarella Cheese on Multigrain Bread is so flavorful and filling that it's enough to tide me over until lunch.   It's also my meal of choice in observance of fasting (from meat) this lenten ...

A P500 Meal at Buddy’s Pancit Lucban

03.21.2013 by Leah //

You might think that AJ and I are big spenders on food (what with the many food blogs I've put in here).   Think again.   You'll actually find that we love discovering great food at great prices.   Yes, cheap thrills hehe! One restaurant that has became our go-to place whenever we're craving for home-cooked meals but am too tired to cook is Buddy's Pancit Lucban at ... READ MORE

Food Post: La Lagrima Taqueria

03.19.2013 by Leah //

Another food post - from Cebu!  My 2-nights stay there last month was not only packed with work but food as well! I had a wonderful late lunch with my boss at Gold Mango Grill & Restaurant   on the 2nd day of my stay there, but on my first day I was with my brother and his family (that includes cute Liam!).    He and my sis-in-law, Juvvy, introduced me to this Mexican ...
