The Market Butcher, Rathcoole

We discovered this butcher at the Food and Wine Magazine Christmas Show. This butcher supplies l'Ecrivain restaurant. Everything looks great and everything is a lot cheaper than supermarkets. I had to leave as I wanted to buy everything I saw....

Food & Wine Magazine Christmas Show

Went to the RDS. I really enjoyed the cooking demonstration by Derry Clarke, the chef of l'Ecrivain. We also discovered a nice butcher in Rathcoole, and bought 2 vouchers for Roly's Bistro. I'm so glad I went there!

Butlers Hot Chocolate

I had imagined a sachet, but it looked like real chocolate and I almost ate it :-))

As I don't like milk, I used some water and some milk, but it turned out really nice!!


美味しかった。お勧めです。

Han Yang Korean BBQ Restaurant

http://www.menupages.ie/cuisines/korean/restaurants/han_yang_korean_bbq_restaurant.aspx

Went with my husband, my husband's father & step-mother, my Irish friend and my Japanese friend. It seems to be run by Chinese people and serve Chinese, Korean and Japanese food. The Japanese food wasn't great (my husband and his step-mother tried), but the Korean food was OK. I tried Bibimbap (see the photo). The serving was very generous (in fact, it was too generous and none of us could finish the meal). The people working there don't speak English very well. I wouldn't mind going back there for Chinese & Korean food (but not Japanese).

ビビンバは中々だったし、キムチ鍋を頼んだ友人も美味しかったと言ってたけど、ナンチャッテカツ丼とか牛丼はイマイチのようだった。でもご飯はまあまあだった。

4 in 1 Party Grill

I bought '4 in 1 Party Grill' at Marks and Spencer. This can make 1. Toasted Sandwiches 2. Waffles 3. Doughnuts 4. Grill by replacing the plates. I nearly bought something like this in Japan as I had never seen it in Ireland.

Looking forward to making waffles & doughnuts.


日本で買ったらこれに焼きおにぎり用、たこ焼き用のプレートもついているのかも。

Sushi

My husband & I went to the annual bazzar held by the Japanese Saturday School at St. Tiernan's School. My husband bought 'Chirashi Zushi' (sushi with scattered toppings) and 'Maki Zushi'.

Quite nice. We had them with green tea. The tea cup in the photo is 'Bizen-yaki'.
