Week 9, Post 1: Irish Getaway

So for St. Patrick's Day weekend I went to Dublin Ireland, it was absolutely fantastic! You would not believe the great food they had there too! When I think of Ireland, I can't exactly pinpoint a specific type of food they are known for, there isn't a type of food called Irish food, other than maybe and Irish Coffee. Every single meal I had in Ireland was amazing though. The night I arrived, my friend Omar and I walked around the main street in Dublin and found a small place called Wok-In a noodle bar. Luckily we were both feeling some noodles so we stayed. I got the chicken and noodles which turned out to be amazing. They gave huge portions, which I didn't think I would be able to finish, but I did surprisingly. Omar got some type of Chicken and Prawn Fried Rice that also looked good. The next day, we were going to grab breakfast around O'Connell Street (the main street in Dublin), so we walked down the roads off of O'Connell looking for some delicious food. We passed by a couple pizza places, but then stopped at a little Italian place that was still serving breakfast. There were so many options for breakfast I just couldn't decide, I had it narrowed down to two options then Omar decided to ask for the lunch menu because she was kind of wanting some Italian food. The second our server brought over the lunch menu, I immediately found two entree's I liked on it. This was the struggle, not only did I have to pick between two choices, but I also had to pick between breakfast and lunch. Damn you, Omar. So I thought I would toss a coin in the air and by the time the coin got to the peak of the toss, I would know which side I was hoping for it to land on. Then I realized that our hotel gives a very large breakfast in the mornings, therefore if I got the lunch then I could get the breakfast the next morning at the hotel..If I woke up in time of course. Finally I decided to get lunch, my options were between the Spaghetti and the Lasagne so I asked the server what she preferred more. The Lasagne it was, I also got some garlic bread and a pot of tea! That whole meal was absolutely fantastic, I wish I would have gotten a picture. Later that night, before going out, Omar and I decided to go back to the Wok-In Noodle Bar and get some more noodles because they were just that good the first time. I ended up getting the Chicken and Prawn Noodles, which wasn't on the menu, but the lady mixed them both together for me! She was just too nice! ;) the Chicken and Prawn Noodles were just as good as the night before, but I couldn't finish the large portion. The next morning was the morning we had to get on a plane to fly back to London, so Omar and I grabbed breakfast at the hotel. We each had the Full Irish Breakfast which consisted of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, (my mouth is already watering) tomato, cereal, and something else but we switched out the tomato and the other something for more sausage and bacon. It was greattttttt! I even got a cup of tea to go with that meal too. Out of all of those dishes I couldn't even tell you my favorite. I loved them all and wish I could go back to re-live the experience again!
