A cuppa and scone at Kilkenny

Ok it was a cold, cold spring day and I simply couldn't resist a peek into the cafe at first storey of Kilkenny along my way o Grafton street because I was cold and hungry. Plus I'd always heard that they serve pretty good stuffs here.

Bewley's Dublin Airport Hotel and the ponies on the field behind :)

 Bewley's Dublin Airport Hotel has been a long time favorite of mine. The location is near to the airport, and there's a shuttle bus commuting to - and - fro from the airport to the hotel. Not an ideal location if you want to be near the city since it's 40 minutes away at least from the city by bus no. 16 from the airport. But the location itself makes it a quiet and tranquil retreat.

South Street, Italian food and steak in Dublin

I went to South Street twice during my visit in Dublin because of this crazy craving for steak. Maybe it's the cold weather working up my appetite or the crazy walking or the shopping... beats me. But the place is pretty decent albeit a tad pricey. Now, this place has no halal sign and it serves alcohol and some of the dishes do contain alcohol (described in the menu) but it was reputedly own by a Muslim guy who also owns the kebab shop next door and it serves no pork. I guess he was trying to cater to a larger market. The halal standard is somewhat different or uncontrolled here, because I've even seen a restaurant with a halal sign but serves pork ball soup, and even the shop with halal signs will serve alcohol. Lots of Muslims seem to be eating here too. So you be the judge.

Wok In and walk out with cheap halal meal in Dublin

Now I won't kid you into believing that this is one of the most delicious thing in Dublin city. Because it's not. There are lots more other option that you can choose. But it's cheap. And halal. And tasty enough. I dunno whether to classify this as Chinese food or not :p
