Guess What? The young man that I know so well and have been supporting for 2 years now, is now the GM of Muddy Murphy Pub...
Never dreamed of going there, but when I heard news that mr man, was there I had to see for myself.
Great value for the quality of food you get, not forgetting that this is a bar after all.
Fish n Chips were extremely well done and the mushroom soup, although a little plastic, did the job. All washed down with a glass of wine, I had a super time with my colleagues.
The service suites the ambience and I don't know why I hadn't come here before! Sad to hear Bjorn is no longer cooking, but at least he still entertained me.

Something Great to come!

Don't let the large expatriate crowd deter you.

Since the others have mentioned it, the fish and chips are good fare here. It's dory but it's fresh and the batter is crispy and light. Don't forget to ask for the malt vinegar for the chips.

They also do a pretty good Sunday Roast which comes with appetisers, mains and desserts. The menu changes weekly. The dessert is nothing to shout about but the other courses are better. The beef and lamb are done in medium only for this menu though. It's $25 for all three courses; $20 gets you either dessert or soup with the entree.

There's bar food only at night (read, smaller, expensive portions). Go for the lamb chops (nicely grilled, and I found myself gnawing on the bone), the mussels (drench the bread in the sauce!) and the mushroom toasts (think a patty-less BK Mushroom swiss).

Guinness on tap here is really fresh, and the housepours and liqueurs are $10-$11. Happy hour ends early at 7.30pm though, and there's live music or televised sports at the weekends. The service staff are very friendly and accomodating as well. It's easy to have fun here, the patrons often clap, dance and sing along to the live music, and while it's rowdy, I have yet to see any ugly.

Heard so much about this place and finally with a prod from ice, I came here with a fren to check out the famous beer batter fish and chips.

We ordered the famous beer batter fish and chips of course and then we were thinking what else to try when an item on the menu caught my eye. :) Its Poached Cod in Almond Milk!!! Mmmmmm its really something different as I have not tried cod that is poached in almond milk before.

Poached cod in Almond Milk:
Although the cod is poached in almond milk, there isn't any almond taste (or perhaps its too faint for me to taste). But its real smooth and the fish flakes part ever so easily at slight pressure of the knife to reveal gleaming white flesh covered with the almond milk reduction. Perhaps the smoothness is also partly due to being poached in the almond milk, just like how milk benefits our fair complexion, ladies? Hee...

The almond milk reduction is really not for those who hates almond, but will be loved by almond lovers. :)

Beer batter fish N chips:
At first glance, it just looks like normal fish and chips with the glistening of the oil on the batter under the light. As I took the first bite of the fish, the slight crisp and crunch of the batter coupled with the freshness of the fish sure got my attention. Then came the after taste that surprised me. There was this hint of spice from the batter, which I can't place where. Its just a slight spice cum tingling sensation on the tongue. Not sure if this was just a fig of my imagination as my fren did not have the same after taste. Next few bites were interpersed with either the tartar or the recommended malt vinegar.

Chips were normal though. Same goes for the other sides for the poached cod.

For dessert, fren and I both had the Homemade Guinness Chocolate Mousse each. Its not exactly mousse per se 'cos its not as soft as how mousse is. Its bit more dry with a slight bitterness (not too sweet, just nice for me). In this case, I am not very sure if the bitterness stems from the guiness use too. 'Cos I am unable to taste the Guinness. Still, I love the dessert and it was indeed a very good way to end the meal. :)

Mmmm. the best fish and chips around town is def here.... its not as if you can taste the beer in the batter but more of the lightness and crispy crunch of the fried bits that get you going... Fish is fresh and flaky with a hearty serving of fries. Just ask for the malt vinegar and have it the traditional way!

They also serve a very good Guiness beef pie with a flaky puff pastry top... Lunch time food is alot better than the snacks they serve just get there early before 230pm. (more excuses to start on your Heinekein early wa ha ha)

The interior of the pub is actually transport brick by brick from Dublin so i heard... The dark wood is actually very cosy and they have a fireplace with 2 rocking chairs in a corner... *cute*
