Howth.

So.. The other day (it's always the other day cause we're always so slow at blogging :P), we went out of Dublin to a place called Howth. It's supposedly very popular for seafood. Our first stop was the fresh market. Bought some Baileys fudge and this :

Looks so real, but tasted like flour. :S

We then saw 'wild' seals. Well, they're not in an enclosure, so technically they're wild. But they 'hang' around the same place every day, waiting to be fed by gullible visitors.

Gullible visitor #1.

(hah!)

fat ass seal :P

We had really good fish and chips there.. but they only have take-away. After that, we had some calamari and seafood chowder (my first time!! liked it!). We took quite a while to choose a proper restaurant to dine in, since there were like approx. 20 restaurants for us to choose. @.@ We finally settle for The Oar House. We had to wait 50mins for our table cause they had a full house (meaning we chose a good place ;D). The seals entertained us for the next 50mins. ^^

We ordered mussels with white wine and cream sauce, some raw oysters and seafood chowder - again. Thennnnn, Kit surprised me with an envelope (which I tore so quickly) containing a boarding pass to Paris!! Heh Heh Heh!! I don't quite know how to explain how I reacted.. Besides saying 'Seriously? SERIOUSLY?' repeatedly.. and asking for the date. xP Kit videotaped the whole thing though. We were supposed to leave for Paris the day after. So, can you imagine how excited I was? Seriously!

*Thank you, hubbie!!!!!*

Anyway, after all that excitement, we bought some seafood back to attempt to cook ourselves a seafood dinner. Bought 2 salmon tails, 1 medium-sized fish and 3 small lobsters. I was quite sceptical bout the idea at first but you gotta be spontaneous at times, right?

Me in action. ;)

Kit's tomyam-stuffed fish. Looks ugly. xD

Looks yummy, eh? Turned out to be a good seafood dinner after all. Hoping to go back to Howth again. Tata!
