Back at Mr. Jones

-
It was an exciting lunch as I was back at my favorite American diner ... Mr. Jones!

Just a month ago, I first tried Mr. Jones with the Yummy team and now I'm back for a food tasting in preparation for an exciting event for work!

Thanks to Raintree Restaurant's super accommodating and friendly Marketing Manager, Belle; I found myself enjoying a wide array of Mr Jones' specialties earlier was these will be served to our special guests in a couple of weeks.

Here's what we had for lunch...

We've tried The Threeesome during our first visit to Mr. Jones, I love the Egg Salad with Truffle Oil and Black Caviar! Each bite is h-e-a-v-e-n-l-y. The other two are the Prawn Coleslaw and the Macaroni Salad. Must enjoy these yummy salad together with their delicious butter toast.

Make a wild guess how many milkshake we all had this afternoon. :) One? nah.. Two? Nope! Threeee? Maybe... Four? CORRECT!! Yep! We all had a taste of four of their best-selling milkshakes and we're all glad we did! My favorite was the Blueberry Granola Yogurt as well as the Black and White.

Moving on to our main dishes. We got another favorite -- remember Elaine's Melted "Old Bay" Crab and Dory Thermidor (Php. 375)? We had this again today and I was able to fully appreciate the freshness of the Dory as well as the yummy addition of the crab meat! Yum! I wanted to dig into the rice but I remembered what our next dish was that I stopped myself just in time for the...

U.S. Beef Ribcap Tapa & Garlic Overload (Php. 295). I loved it the first time and I'm loving it forever! There's more lean meat this time and the tapa sauce was just bursting with flavor. My boss D suggested that we add a little orange juice on the tapa as it "gives a new dimension". I tried it and he's right, I love the sweet-sour surprise that I get after biting into the salty tapa.

After the tapa, came the Wicked Truffled Mac and Cheese (Php. 375). Unlike the previous Mac and Cheese that I had during my first visit, this one was better. It has more cheese sauce and good thing, it wasn't badly burned like before. I can also taste and smell the truffle sauce which really made me enjoy this dish even more.

We actually had two more specialties but I am keeping this a surprise for our guests who will be joining us for the event. These are customized ones that will be specially created just for them!

Mr. Jones is always a happy place with delicious food! Now, I really have to schedule that date with Paul to make him try Mr. Jones soon!

Mr. Jones is located at the Ground Floor of Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center in Makati City. Call them at 501.3111

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
