A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this place in Dublin from a recommendation from a friend to try out spice bag, which is an Irish Chinese dish. It is basically a mix of fries and fried chicken with spices. It would be good as an after party food. Wouldn’t have it as a main meal (too fried for my taste).
Also tried the pork steamed dumplings. I think there was too much dough, and the pork quality was just meh.
I would come back and try their other noodle dishes (looking at good others were ordering).
First dinner in Dublin (and it is Michelin star recommended).
Setting is a pub like place, but food is definitely not ordinary pub food.
For “snacks” (in Ireland it is almost equivalent to appetizers, it smaller) we got the scallops, the deviled eggs, and the oysters (which I did not try for obvious reasons). Scallops were cooked pretty good, but sauce could have been improved.
For “starters” (equivalent to appetizers) got the beef cheek and oxtail roll, and the cured yellow fin tuna. Both were great.
For mains, tried the pork schnitzel and the pork chop. The latter was great. Wouldn’t get the former again since it was too oily.
For drinks, for the hazelnut martini (which was pretty good. Sweet but not too sweet). Also got an Aperol spritz, and tried the Teeling single malt whisky, and the Dingle Founding Father’s single malt. Will say I liked the Teeling better
