BREAKFAST WITH MR. JONES
Call time was 9 in a
Saturday morning. Quite early and
unusual for me to be out in the streets that early considering the “last Friday
night to early morning” stint I engaged myself into.
But I managed to be early to
have my first meal for the day with Mr. Jones.
Inspired from the 1960s, Mr.
Jones is a new up-market and contemporary diner conveniently located at the
ground floor of Greenbelt 5, Makati City.
It is a new destination restaurant offering a full array of authentic
American cuisine. Designed by acclaimed
restaurant architect, ECStudio, the interior features seafoam diner seats, fire
engine red sharkskin booths and 60’s chic.
Mr. Jones transports you back to the time of Jukeboxes, roller-skates
and good milkshakes.
Bacon and Eggs
Jones’ Famous
U.S. Ribcap Tapa
Served with
two eggs any style, garlic rice, atchara and spicy vinegar
Jones’ Huevos
Rancheros
slow-cooked sirloin chunks with
cumin scented black beans topped with roasted tomato, bell pepper and “salsa
fresco”, American cheddar and jack cheese, 2 sunny side-up eggs, fresh
tortillas, fresh lime and a bottle of hot sauce
“Big Boy” Fried Chicken and Waffles
Served with
whipped butter, maple syrup, chicken stack gravy
Challah French
Toast
2 pieces French
toast stuffed with nutella and raspberry preserves and caramelized bananas
topped with crispy bacon, powdered sugar and whipped cream served with maple
syrup and whipped butter
For me to get back to my
senses, first order of the day was iced tea.
I don’t drink coffee and though I know milkshakes are great at Mr. Jones
my stomach refuses to accept it.
I was seated on a long table
with known bloggers in the food and lifestyle industry. Am I in the right table? Yes I might be, since there were no awkward
moments with this group. I was greeted with
a warm smile by a lovely lady, Michelle Magtoto, a marketing executive of
Raintree Restaurants, along with other equally lovely bloggers. After a few minutes, the group was complete.
I wouldn’t be able to
provide insights on the do’s and don’ts of food preparation as I am not a food
blogger. Nevertheless, Mr. Jones is a
destination worthy of visit. With the
cozy interiors, attentive and friendly waiting staff, not to mention the
mouth-watering breakfast set all day, Mr. Jones will surely give you a gastronomic
treat.
What’s my favorite
dish? The “Big Boy” Fried Chicken and
Waffles for obvious reasons. I love
chicken in whatever way it is cooked for a dish, but the tender meat appears a
villain on my so-called diet week. I can’t
even remember how many I have consumed unless my seatmates will state their
comments in this blog.
Breakfast with Mr. Jones
appeared to be a simple gathering with new found friends which made our qualms
for the previous sleep-deprived days vanish. Indeed, Mr. Jones knows how to remedy
a hangover (applicable for myself) and provide an atmosphere of fun dining for
an all-day breakfast.
Start the day right they say. And so I did with Mr. Jones.
