THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

The Hollywood Cookie Diet

09.18.2011 by Leah //

Saw this at S&R the other day (sorry for the camera flash, I used my cellphone cam only: According to Diets in Review: The Hollywood Cookie Diet is easy. Simply eat four cookies a day, which replaces your breakfast and lunch, then eat a healthy dinner. So, eat a cookie for breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch and mid-afternoon snack. Each cookie is individually ... READ MORE

Sunday Trip at Tagaytay (Part 1)

09.13.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I were at Tagaytay City last Sunday to attend a birthday party (more on this in my future post).   While there, we took the opportunity to do some little sight-seeing and window shopping! We went to see the Taal Volcano (thank God, it's not acting up again) before heading up to the birthday party and AJ took this photo of me outside Starbucks' balcony area: The ... READ MORE

A Christmas Party in September

09.12.2011 by Leah //

My colleagues at the office decided to celebrate our Christmas Party very early because of the impending office re-org that will see us being transferred to different units.   It became our farewell party as well. The party was held at my boss' house (or should I say, mansion?) somewhere in Quezon City.  It was a sight to behold!   The Christmas lights adorning his house ... READ MORE

Rediscovering Rufo’s Tapa

The original Rufo's Tapa restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati City:    (source: Rufo's Tapa website) 27 years later, the restaurant is still there, but it looks modern now with the cemented structure, more open space and bigger logo: The restaurant now has an air-conditioned / closed area, if you don't want to be eating with smokers: Their dining ...

Chicken Salpicao

08.31.2011 by Leah //

This recipe is so easy to do, I challenged AJ that I'm going to do it.  Yes, me.   It's the first meal I'm going to put together so I really studied the recipe like I would on an office document hehe. I used the recipe I found from Kiko's Kitchen (thank god for food blogs!), except that we weren't able to put in button mushrooms because we forgot to get one at the grocery.  ... READ MORE

Gourmet Coffee at French Baker

08.30.2011 by Leah //

I was happy to see this nice packaging of French Baker for their brewed coffee.  It's cute and compact - perfect for a take-out coffee. There's always "something sweet" that completes their coffee meal like a bite-size brownie or a cookie.   I like the coffee-cookie combination better.  Maybe because I'm not much into brownies hehe. This set costs only P65.00 and is a ... READ MORE

Blue Bunny’s Bubble Gum Ice Cream

08.25.2011 by Leah //

S&R recently introduced this new ice cream flavor from Blue Bunny:  the bubble gum ice cream!  Yesterday, my office mate JCO treated us (finally!) to this eye-candy sweet: It's definitely a must-try!   The ice cream's texture is like that of a bubble gum, very sticky.   It brought back memories of me eating and trying to make a bubble out of my Bazooka ...

Our Ricotta Cheese Pasta

08.22.2011 by Leah //

It was raining hard yesterday, and thankfully we have this ready-made Barilla Ricotta Cheese Pasta Sauce which we bought at SM the day before, for our lunch: We only need to heat this in a microwave and viola, we have a ricotta cheese pasta ready!    We used our left-over penne pasta from last week (it's amazing they still look fresh, in spite of being kept in the fridge ...
