For your pleasure, I went to Jones the Grocer twice because it wasn’t serving food at 5pm on Sunday. I went back on a weekday and sat from 3pm to 8pm to sample the lunch and dinner menu. Jones has different menu for different times of the day. Call them to find out.<\/div>\n
Tapas:<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Snack: Lamb, mint and rosemary sausage<\/strong> ($12.50). Tasted ok but extremely oily and not hot.<\/div>\n
The main:<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Wagyu beef pie <\/strong>($14.50). Very hot, freshly baked. Love the generous amount of beef. But I thought the tomato paste was too sweet and too much, overpowering the taste of beef. It reminded me of a homemade pie, not the best, but heartwarming.<\/div>\n
The sweets:<\/div>\n
Strawberry Cupcake<\/strong> ($4)<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Chocolate Pudding<\/strong> ($11.50)<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Red Velvet Cake<\/strong> ($8.50)<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
Ice Dark Chocolate<\/strong> ($6.50)<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The strawberry cupcake<\/strong> was melting, as though the cream had been left in the open for a long time. I love red velvet cake in general and this one, I ate a mouthful and told the waiter to clear it. Worst red velvet cake<\/strong> I’ve ever eaten in my life. See the sponge portion? It was dense and bland. I didn’t expect iced dark chocolate<\/strong> to be milk with hershey’s chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream. I excepted it to be very dark and sexy and rich, like Enrique Iglesias.<\/div>\n
But<\/div>\n
O<\/div>\n

the chocolate pudding<\/strong> was to die for. It’s more like a cross between chocolate lava cake and a souffle. It wasn’t particularly rich or mindblowing but the awesomeness came from its freshness-from-oven factor and the sweetness was balanced by the sour berry sorbet<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
The decor is a lazy Sunday kinda decor, with communal tables for sharing. Patrons are a good mix of SIngaporeans and angmohs<\/em>, which I like. Diversity rocks.<\/div>\n
The service was friendly but careless. For instance, my beef pie<\/strong> came together with my dessert, chocolate pudding<\/strong>. Or when the beef pie<\/strong> came, it came without cutlery and the waitress just hopped away. My glass of water was empty for some time.<\/div>\n
Overall, the food is a mixed bag. The lunch was hot and freshly prepared, although it tasted mild while the dinner was cold and substandard. I don’t recommend coming here for food, not even for the chocolate pudding<\/strong>. It’s a place to be seen, not eat.<\/div>\n
