NOVELTY COCKTAILS & SCRUMPTIOUS THAI EATS

You know what they say about a Sunday well spent... it brings a week of headaches when you're 31 and there are cocktails involved!


It's been a long time since I've had the luxury of a Sunday night out with friends but what's rare is indeed beautiful and what a lovely evening we had last Bank Holiday Weekend in Malahide.


After a week of feeling horrendously under the weather (we'll blame the shorter days), I finally mustered up the energy to pick myself up and enjoy an evening of fine cuisine and even better company and I loved it so much I'm here to tell the tale.


Our dining spot of choice was Siam Thai which already boasts a pretty good reputation but I'm a firm believer in making up my own mind and well... I wasn't disappointed!


We managed to nab a last minute booking for a table for four and despite the 90-minute time limit to chow down our meal (shortened by last second decisions to ditch a previous plan to go to a drive-in movie and stay 'out out' after dinner, making us late!), we had a wonderful time.


The place was buzzing and I couldn't see an empty table in the whole place, however, the service was still top notch and super speedy - they even offered to move us to a reserved table in the restaurant's reputable Candlelight bar.


On the menu for me were duck spring rolls for starters followed by a red vegetable and tofu curry for mains. The springs rolls were divine and the curry on the spicy side, but honestly, that's less of a complaint and more of an observation on my weak palette!


We skipped dessert - we were stuffed - but just as well as the cocktail menu that awaited was equally as good if not better. A useless bunch at making decisions, we asked the barman for the most 'presentable drinks' and what arrived was a bathtub of elderflower gin - rubber ducky included, a flower pot presented in it's own fenced garden holding a vodka based cocktail and another gin based drink with strawberry caviar (jelly-like capsules that burst in your mouth).


Gimmicky? Um, yeah! But we sure had a fun time enjoying them!


The meal for four plus drinks came for just over €210 but for a delicious feed with an abundance of drinks, that was more than satisfactory and honestly, very decent.


We will be back.
