first food trip of the year: brinner

VAL:

after failing to get seats in this diner-themed restaurant last friday, we tried again the next day and luckily got seats after about 30 minutes of waiting.

mr.jones is very much like gram's. serving comfort food and all-day breakfast at fairly reasonable rates, i can see why people wait in line just to eat here.

for starters we had the soup of the day, which was luckily mushroom soup. it was about 200 bucks but was worth it because the serving is good for about 2-3 people and it was delicious and peppery.

as the main course, i had the 1/2 inch thick bacon with biscuits, sunny side-up eggs and rice. the bacon was gooooood. as all bacons are. but the biscuit aka muffin was BLAND!

over-all, it was good enough but i wasn't exactly raving about it plus it was really smokey inside the resto.

however, we will definitely come back to try the fries because apparently they are to die for.


ERIK:

When you're planning to watch a last full show that is 2 hours+ long, "brinner" is the way to go. So we had it at Mr. Jones. Just like what Val said, it's very much like Gram's, which I'm also a fan of. I also liked the Mushroom soup and almost wanted to keep the cup. I had the Tapa and Garlic Overload, which comes with fried eggs and rice. Well, the name speaks for itself.

Yes, it was a good dinner, except that the place was like a big hotbox because of the smoke (and the noisy and annoying family beside our table) . I'm still coming back to try the Crab and Dory.
