THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Sophie’s Mom Bakery and Confectionary

07.08.2011 by Leah //

My Ninang-officemate CDR and I always look at this bakeshop every time we pass by this neighborhood in San Antonio Village, Makati: The store display reminded me so much of this candy bar that I once considered for our wedding: Photo credit: Simply Love Vintage It's very pretty in pink.  And today, we were finally able to check it out.  Turned out it's none other than ...

Our own-style Breaded Pork Fillet

07.03.2011 by Leah //

Our lunch today was very easy to prepare and cook.   It's the ol' classic breaded pork (we used the butterfly-cut pork, instead of porkchops) which we just seasoned in salt and pepper, then coated with flour (seasoned with salt and basil leaves), battered egg and bread crumbs. Here's our pork fillet being fried (by me, yehey!): I feel much comfortable frying meat ... READ MORE

Food Post: Uncle John’s Fried Chicken (at Mini Stop)

06.29.2011 by Leah //

Whenever we feel like eating fried chicken during office lunch, but without the hassle of ordering from McDonald's or Jollibee, we just walk our way to the Mini-Stop store just behind our office.We love their Uncle John's Fried Chicken.   Very affordable at P65.00 per order (of the 1-piece chicken meal).True to its label, it's big (but not really hot hehe).   You ...

Mccormick’s Spanish Chicken Skillet

06.20.2011 by Leah //

Last night, AJ and I cooked our first dinner at home.  It's the first meal we cooked together and for someone who hasn't cooked in ages, the experience was surprisingly fun and fulfilling.  I am finally turning into a domesticated goddess hehe!We made Mccormick's Spanish Chicken Fillet, because we saw this spices set at Rustan's Supermarket and thought that it's ...

Membership Shopping at S&R

06.05.2011 by Leah //

I used to be a member of S&R.  I buy some of my Christmas presents there and the shrimp garlic pizza which I oh-so-love.  But after a 1-year membership, I decided not to renew it because I thought P700 is too much for privilege shopping (you don't get discounts with the card) and I really don't buy lots of household items and groceries back then because ...

The Creamery (at SM MOA)

06.04.2011 by Leah //

Now that my wedding's done, we are now gearing up for my nephew's 1st birthday this coming October.I can't believe that this little tot will have 250 guests (we only invited 150 guests during the wedding) but nonetheless, we're all excited in planning for his first birthday!I was tasked by my sis-in-law (who gifted us with our photo wall during the wedding) to check out ...

A Different Pizza

05.17.2011 by Leah //

There's an ongoing bazaar at our office today and there's a stall there selling these really big pizza slices at P80.00 per slice:I tried the chicken and cheese pizza and it tastes good.   It's like having 3M pizza except that the crust is super soft it tasted more like a bread than a pizza crust to me.  The pizza slice is really big that I had to share it ...
