First Oktoberfest in Dublin by Paulaner .. and i was there !

At the Docklands in Dublin, Paulaner held its first Oktoberfest in Ireland and I was there !



But as you can tell from the photos, it was just one of those rainy days. Not to mention, the combination of the expensive food put me off quite abit. In the end, I went off to wander around to the Grand Canal Dock.


Had my Bailey's, read a book in a little cafe overlooking the area. *Bliss*

My Own Guinness Cert

Received one Cheesy Electronic Guinness Cert from my Guinness Storehouse Tour. :P

Watching a Play by a Irish Writer in Ireland

Caught a play by one of my favorite writers, Oscar Wilde, "An Ideal Husband" in the land of his birth. The location was at Abbey Theater, the National Theater of Ireland, founded by W.B Yeats. The whole feeling of history was simply incredible. Due to the concession rates, I paid the cheapest prices and got one of the best seats in the house ! Thank you Ireland !

Another Restaurant that makes me miss Shanghai

The Japanese restaurant called Tianjia in Shanghai, dishing up prized cuts of Otoro goodness. Haiz

In the words of my favourite blogger, Chubby Hubby : "It’s a small place run, I’m told, by Japanese tuna importers. The set menu is fantastic value. For RMB250, you get a sampling of various kinds of toro (including o-toro and chu-toro), followed by a plate of giant crab legs. After this, you enjoy a hotpot with more tuna, some smaller crab legs, and loads of fresh vegetables. Once you’ve devoured most of these things, the staff then bring you udon to dump into the soup. To end the meal, you get a small but filling bowl of negitoro-don."

My Life in Dublin

An introduction to my pantry in my room. Life in Dublin does not come cheap, especially when your last destination was Shanghai, the shock and adjustment in prices do not come easy.

Things that I survive on in Dublin. From the back left,
Canned Tuna = > My only protein in a carb fueled pasta diet,
Instant Maxwell Coffee = > 2 for the price of 1,
Forks & Spoons because they sell like 20 cutlery sets for S$30.. who needs 20 sets for 4 months?,
Marks & Spencers Nanchos=> Just because it's M&S and it's so much more expensive in Singapore,
Cream Crackers + Crispbread + Pasta + Risotto + Tea Bags = > CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP
Bottle of Irish Cream = > I need my little bit of luxury every now and then

The best meal that I cooked for myself in the dorm. Cream Pasta + Salmon Steak

The Bane of my Existence. This beautiful Audi TT that was just parked under my window since I got here a month back. Not driven, not moved, just left there for the entire time ! Why would anyone buy a beautiful car like that and leave it there, i don't understand and I don't want to understand !

The Piece of Charcoal formerly known as a Chicken Drumstick. Was left in the microwave for 10 mins in a plastic Tupperware. Yes, smoke started to stream from the microwave. The same smoke that triggered off the smoke alarm, brought in everyone to the kitchen and left the entire floor smelling smokey for the entire night. Hah I had a hilarious laugh at my friend's expense for this.
