THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Food Post: Early Bird Breakfast Club

03.27.2014 by Leah //

I'm not new to the Early Bird Breakfast Club.  We used to frequent this whole-day breakfast café at their maiden branch in The Fort, BGC.  Now that it has opened its second branch at the new Century City Mall in Makati, there's no more need for us to travel all the way to Taguig.  The Century City Mall is just a 5-minutes drive from our home, so having a breakfast dinner here ...

Cooking with Terra Cota Garlic Roaster

03.15.2014 by Leah //

I LOVE garlic.  That's why adobo and salpicao are two (2) of my favorite dishes - the more garlic are put in them, the more delicious they become. So when Ms. Ellen (of The Pseudoshrink) asked if I wanted buy a Terra Cota Garlic Roaster that she is selling, I said yes right away.  I have always wanted to try at home the Aglio e Olio Spaghetti recipe that I order at Italian ...

ZAP Crawl @ Greenhills

03.11.2014 by Leah //

Something amazing happened to me and AJ last Saturday: we got ZAPped! That is, we found ourselves "zapped" at instantaneous events with our fellow bloggers on that memorable Saturday evening, I'm talking about the ZAP Crawl: Greenhills merchant tour that The Bright Spot got invited to.  Sponsored by ZAP Philippines, selected lifestyle and food bloggers were taken around ...

Food Post: Fariñas Ilocos Empanada

03.07.2014 by Leah //

The Collective @ Makati is really full of gastronomic wonders!  It was here where I discovered the hottest chicken wings (at Wingman) and honey coffee flavored vegetarian ice cream (at Ritual). Lately, our visits to The Collective are triggered by this merienda craving for Ilocos empanadas. And these are not your ordinary Ilocos empanadas, mind.  The restaurant ... READ MORE

Embracing Japan’s Culinary Culture at Ogetsu Hime

03.01.2014 by Leah //

This is the continuation of my food post on Ogetsu Hime, which I decided to break into two (2) separate posts because I couldn't miss out on everything we had there.  Yes, they're ALL that good! Click here for the first installment of my review on Ogetsu Hime, which is all about sushi and Japanese rolls! For the main course, two (2) of Ogetsu Hime's superstar dishes were ... READ MORE

Gourmet Chicken Adobo

02.26.2014 by Leah //

My birthday month is almost over and lest I forget, here's the Gourmet Chicken Adobo recipe that I promised to share when I wrote about our Asahi convection oven (thanks to all your wonderful comments, by the way!) I got this adobo recipe from the same cookbook where I found the recipe for Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom - the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl ... READ MORE

Product Review: Asahi Convection Oven

02.03.2014 by Leah //

If I will be asked to name a kitchen appliance that newly-wed couples should immediately invest in, it's the convection oven.  We belatedly bought ours in August last year and right now, we use it more than we use our microwave oven and gas stove.  There's just so much you can do with a convection oven and so much flexibility as compared to, say, microwave oven or oven ...

Food Post: Franco’s at Rockwell Powerplant

01.28.2014 by Leah //

AJ and I are big fans of Myron's Steak. We preferred dining at their Rockwell Branch (over the one at Greenbelt) because of its cozy ambiance and formal look that made it perfect for dinner dates.   We had planned on having dinner there sometime in October last year (because I miss their Chicken Inasal already!) when I remembered that a new restaurant has replaced Myron's na ...
