Mac and Cheese in Mr. Jones, Greenbelt 5

Mac and Cheese, Mr. Jones' @ Greenbelt 5, Makati City

I’m not really much of a “mac ‘n cheese” person, but this tells me otherwise. :P Trying Mr. Jones’ Mac and Cheese after a day’s work (not to mention an event to attend after) was just so satisfying!

If I remember correctly, a platter costs around Php 300-400 pesos which is not bad, and is good for two considering someone who generally eats in small proportions like I do. It’s packed with ham bits, green peas and of course, cheddar cheese! Since the serving is really huge for me to consider devouring it in one sitting, I just had half of my order to-go. I enjoyed eating it whilst it’s hot, albeit I felt a bit jittery as soon as it ran cold. Anyhoos, the pasta’s really al dente which made me enjoy nibbling it piece by piece, whilst the ham bits served its purpose—nixing the jitters and adding more flavor to the dish. I didn’t enjoy the green peas though, only because they’re a bit overdone. Had they been cooked just-right, this comfort food would have been perfect!

I highly recommend having this dish to-go, as it tastes much better when reheated and served the day after. ;)

White Hat Frozen Yogurt: Blueberry Cheesecake

White Hat Frozen Yogurt - Blueberry Cheesecake

White Hat’s Blueberry Cheesecake version

The blueberry puree wasn’t that bad, though I opted for the “real” fresh thing. What I liked about this blueberry cheesecake froyo version from White Hat is the homemade cheesecake that tasted really delicious–neither too sweet nor too cheesy.

I’m a sucker for froyos, and I would trade in a slice of blueberry cheesecake for a cupful of this. ;)

At Coron Bistro, Coq Au Vin

Been to an out-of-town trip recently. I deserve a bit of a breather anyhow. Well, it’s not the R & R thing you could think of, but perhaps the trip itself deserves its own post.

Here’s what I got for dinner during our second night. Well, I was able to try Coron’s finest seafood, so I opted for something way different that night—a French deli called Coq Au Vin in some place called Coron Bistro. It’s a braise of chicken, carrots and mushrooms swimming in red wine sauce. I paired it with french fries, which is a little Belgian of moi.

Verdict: It’s actually tasty and yummy! I love how chicken was braised soo perfectly, as ’twas really soft and tender. I also love the just-right taste of the red wine sauce. It’s not overpowering at all. My only concern was the so-so frites (french fries).
