THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Beatles Fan Alert!

04.04.2015 by Leah //

Don't miss out on these limited edition Hallmark cards that feature the famous lyrics of Lennon-McCartney, the song-writing duo behind the biggest band in the world: The Beatles. I found them by chance at National Bookstore (SM Mall of Asia branch) 2 weeks ago while looking for a birthday card.  There are 6 designs available (at least at this National Bookstore branch), ...

I will not eat at Italiani’s again…

04.11.2013 by Leah //

3 Sundays ago, to celebrate Easter, AJ and I chose to have an early lunch at Italiani's - SM Mall of Asia branch.  It's been a long while since we were last there.  I missed their Sicilian Chicken Salad so much and that's what I immediately ordered when we were seated at our table. We had the lunch serving of the salad (P425.00) and I immediately knew that there was ... READ MORE

Food Post: Masuki

04.05.2013 by Leah //

We've found another reason to visit SM Mall of Asia (SM MOA for short) more often: Yes, it's Masuki!   Dubbed as  "The Antigua Mami in Chinatown",  Masuki is a foodie's dream destination for old-fashioned wonton mami (wonton noodle soup) and asado siopao (pork buns). Wonton Mami (P140/regular and P150/special).  Meat-filled dumplings and Masuki's famous mami noodles ... READ MORE

Last Full Show: PyroMusical 2013

03.26.2013 by Leah //

We were at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) last Sunday for some errands and we didn't know that it was the last day of  the International Pyromusical Competition.  This is the 4th year that the Philippines hosted the event (and it's always at SM MOA because of the beautiful Manila Bay).   The first time it was held I was working overtime at the office and since we have a really good view ...

Finally! We got into Uniqlo!

06.24.2012 by Leah //

We have been looking forward to the opening of Uniqlo, the no.1 t-shirt retailer in Japan, at Mall of Asia last week after seeing the t-shirts on display a month before its actual opening.  I even joined (but didn't win) in their "Vote and Win" contest at Facebook hehe. AJ and I even made plans of going to Uniqlo's opening day last June 15, which we weren't able to do so ... READ MORE

SM Mall of Asia + Columbia Sportswear’s Freedom Day Sale

06.10.2012 by Leah //

The SM Mall of Asia is having a mall-wide 4-day sale from June 9-12, 2012 in celebration of the Independence Day (June 12). We were there last Saturday and I scored two (2) shirts from Columbia Sportswear, which were marked down to at least 40%. Have been eyeing this Silver Ridge Long-Sleeve Shirt in Burnt Henna shade for a long time and I'm glad I found one in my ... READ MORE

Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe

05.21.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I saw this new restaurant at Mall of Asia (MOA) in one of our trips there last month.  Its called Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe -  a modern restaurant that serves the best of Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai's street food. You gotta try their Cold Barley Drink (my favorite!) and this jelly drink with long johns and nata de coco - both are house ... READ MORE

New Work, New Stress = Chocolate Fix

01.05.2012 by Leah //

Wow, only 4 days into my new position and I am feeling both preppy and tired already! You see, our office underwent a major re-organization last year and as a result, I was offered a new position by my boss, which I decided to take because I've been into a same job for 7 years and I think I'm ready to take on a much heavier and stressful environment hehe.   I decided to ...
