Food Post: Tapa Overload at Mr. Jones

05.01.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

Yesterday AJ and I met our friend, Chel, at Mr. Jones at Greenbelt 5 for an early dinner.   It was a very nice meeting with Chel, who is already married with two wonderful sons, as she gave us really nice and well-meant advices about marriage and kids.   She is one friend I really treasure because she’s very simple and her values are exceptional.   Given all the busyness and complications of our lives, she is one person I know who really live out her faith and values – a trait that is kinda rare right now. 

Chel will also be our secondary sponsor so she asked us about our wedding preps and how else she could help.   We had an amusing talk about wedding jitters and the things that actually happen during the wedding. 

As it was an early dinner (early because AJ slept the whole morning and will have his lunch just then), we ordered for our favorite Tapa and Garlic Overload.   This is the dish we almost always order whenever we are at Mr. Jones.


Inside Mr. Jones.  I love its interiors that has a 50’s Diner theme.


They have an All-Day Breakfast Menu that we oh-so-love!  Especially the "Tapa & Garlic Overload" – good for two but priced at only P295!


Here is it – loaded with big-sliced garlic chips!  


The beef is thinly-sliced, flavorful and sinful!  (beware of the high uric acid after eating this super delicious tapa meal!)

Chel and I shared this dish while AJ ordered the Double-Smoked Bacon and Eggs (also another must-have!).   We also  ordered their clam and potato chowder soup which the 3 of us shared.  

I wasn’t able to take pictures of our other orders because we immediately wolfed them down hehe!   They’re all good, our plates were clean after!

Mr. Jones is located at Greenbelt 5 (it’s just across Seattles Best in Greenbelt 4).   I highly recommend the place, for one-of-a-kind dining experience at a reasonable price.

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
