THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Bono Artisanal Gelato

03.17.2013 by Leah //

I discovered Bono Artisanal Gelato through Instagram.   Apparently, there's something in this gelato place that the others don't have and people are posting so many pictures of their products - that's how much they love Bono Gelato. And when I read that they have a Speculoos Gelato I swear, I felt a sudden rush of happiness!  Then I read this very nice review of Bono Artisanal ... READ MORE

Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines

03.14.2013 by Leah //

This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu.  She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.    It was so good I promised myself I will make one home for AJ. And so, armed with a bottle of Spanish-style Sardines that was given to me as Christmas gift, plump tomatoes and basil ... READ MORE

Food Post: Gold Mango Grill & Restaurant

03.13.2013 by Leah //

While in Cebu last month, I passed by this new restaurant along the main road in Lapu Lapu City that has a very modern and eye-catching structural design.   I initially thought  it's a house with the big front lawn and big glass windows. Then I saw the restaurant's name:  Gold Mango.   Hmm sounds interesting! So after fetching my boss from the airport, I invited ... READ MORE

I just joined ChurpChurp Philippines!

03.12.2013 by Leah //

I never thought I'll love social media as much as I do now.  Blogging has clearly opened me to the wonders and power of the following social media:  Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. There was a time that my facebook account was de-activated because I rarely check it.  But when I started The Bright Spot at Wordpress.com, I realized that I cannot just limit my followers to ...

Food Post: Ganso-Shabuway Japanese Style Hot Pot

03.10.2013 by Leah //

AJ and I belatedly celebrated Valentine's Day in this red-themed shabu-shabu restaurant at Rockwell Powerplant called Ganso-Shabuway.  The last time we had a shabu-shabu meal was last year in Cebu (to celebrate Liam's 2nd birthday) and it was in a Taiwanese-owned shabu-shabu restaurant.   It has lots of seafood but what I remember enjoying most were the thinly-sliced Angus beef ...

Whoopie Pies from My Cookie Lab

03.05.2013 by Leah //

Whoopie Pies!  I was so happy to see this last Sunday at Rockwell Powerplant: Whoopie pies in different flavors - how cool is that?   All baked by My Cookie Lab.   We got a little help from the lady assistant manning the stall in picking out the flavors to try.  She recommended the following:  Red Velvet, Classic, Chocolate Mint and Wintermelon Milk ...

Food Post: Watami Japanese Casual Restaurant at the New Glorietta

03.04.2013 by Leah //

Have you been to the new Glorietta Mall? It's so nice to see it open again!  It's more spacious now and looks like a big hotel. We were exploring this new mall last January when we came across Watami,  a casual Japanese restaurant located just outside the mall,  beside Holiday Inn & Suites.   I've heard a lot about this Japanese restaurant which is said to be the town's ...

Addicted to Speculoos Cookie Butter!

03.03.2013 by Leah //

What a HAPPY breakfast we had today:  Pancakes with Sausage ordered from McDonald's + Speculoos Cookie Butter! Now that we've tasted the Speculoos Cookie Butter, we can totally understand why people obsess about it.   It's full of cookie goodness that once you start, you cannot stop!    We generously spread it over pancakes, crackers and even  pandesal!   And at the rate ...
