THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Crazy Katsu

05.29.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I purposely went to the Teacher's Village in U.P. Diliman last week to look for and finally try out this much-talked about Japanese restaurant in Quezon City:  Crazy Katsu. The interiors and colors of the restaurant remind me of Muji. Crazy Katsu specializes in...what else but katsu dishes!   All breaded and deep-fried, yummy! For starters, we each had a ... READ MORE

Saladmaster School of Cooking

05.27.2012 by Leah //

Our Saladmaster consultants, Rene and Jane, invited us to a cooking demo last Saturday.   AJ and I almost didn't make it because I suddenly have to rush something for work.  We got there halfway through the session, but managed to see some more dishes at work. I saw the versatility of Saladmaster cookware when they cooked 3 dishes simultaneously by stacking the cookware on ... READ MORE

Grilled Cheese Sandwich + French-Pressed Coffee

05.19.2012 by Leah //

We love grilled cheese sandwich!   I wish I could make this for our breakfast but if I will add up the cost of imported cheeses (you have to use at least 3 cheese varieties to come up with a perfect grilled cheese sandwich), big wholewheat or multi-grain loaf, and the spices that goes with it (to add flavor) - you'll realize that it's better off buying a ready-made one. Our ... READ MORE

More Food Adventure at Bohol Bee Farm

05.14.2012 by Leah //

Remember my post about Bohol Bee Farm?  That was the first stop in our overnight trip to Bohol last month.   We had a 100% organic and very filling lunch there, and then savored that again the following day on our way back to Cebu. Now don't think there weren't many food choices in Bohol (there are, in fact, plenty of local restaurants to try), but its signature organic ... READ MORE

Whoopie Pie!

05.10.2012 by Leah //

I've been putting on some weight lately (sob!) and I blame it on Starbucks' Whoopie Pie!    How can you resist this soft cookie sandwich with eyes looking straight at you? Starbucks' version is sweet (but not too sweet) and I like the soft chocolate cookie more than the creamy filling inside.   I think they offer this for a limited time only so I make sure I get my fix every ...

The Ranch in Old Banilad Road

04.25.2012 by Leah //

Our stay in Cebu was not without fond memories of the restaurants that we tried.  Our newest discovery was The Ranch in the old Banilad Road, thanks to my brother who took his family, me and AJ for a lunch there.  The Ranch is known for its delectable beef and pork menu.   It also has a meat shop where you could buy fresh meat always. I couldn't believe that I've never been ... READ MORE

Art Works and Food

04.17.2012 by Leah //

Can you guess where did I find these cute, comical graphics? The clue is in the chicken! The graphics were from Max's Restaurant - their place mat, exactly hehe.   We were there a few weeks ago for lunch, and I was very amused with the little illustrations in their place mats I know I just have to take pictures of them (using my trusty W995 Sony ...

Bohol Bee Farm

04.13.2012 by Leah //

I've read a lot of good feedback about the organic food at Bohol Bee Farm, and nothing much about the "bee farm" itself hehe!    But that's okay, I don't think I'll enjoy the farm tour too because by the time we got there it's past lunch and we're hungry so all we could think of was food! Without much ado, let me show you what we had and my usual satisfaction rating (with 5 ... READ MORE
