Spitalfields

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

We tried this place during their soft opening, and got one of the only things in the menu, which was the Galbijim.

For the Galbijim, we got the braised short ribs and oxtail (regular size). We had one with spicy level 3, and one with spicy level 1. I only tried the spicy level 1 (which was pretty spicy in itself. Next time I’m may get spicy level 0, or 0.5 if they have it). As sides, we also added glass noodles, vegetables, and rice cakes.

To compliment the meal, we also got regular soju.

For the complimentary side dishes, they only have us 3 types, all which I didn’t care for too much.

Overall, I thought this place was great (loved how sweet the sauce is), even if the main dish was $50 each. Next time though I think I would add extra meat for $10.

FYI, galbi jjim means: the first word is the type of meat, while jjim is the way it is cooked (which is steamed).

R & G Restaurant

Ok, so I give this restaurant several thumbs up.

First off, they have lychee martini as the first drink in their cocktail menu. 👌

For the food, I would get everything again (except maybe the mussels). We ordered a nicely peppered Dungeness crab, hot and sour soup, calamari, oxtail, chow mein, fried rice, and one other fried dish (I wanna say short ribs).

Puerto Sagua

Overall, I think this restaurant was just ok, and not sure if I would go back.

For an appetizer, I got the chicken empanada. It was not good. Also got the coconut shrimp, which was just ok. The sangria was also not very strong (and almost watered down).

For the mains, we got (from top, going clockwise) langua (beef tongue), oxtail, shredded beef Cuban style, and oxtail again.

I have to say the only really good thing was the oxtail and the white rice (the white rice was cooked in garlic and butter, mmmmm).
