We were going to keep the Paddy’s day tradition of drinking from noon alive in Gdansk. However the pub we had planned to go to wasn’t open until 5pm, so I worked it for the first time ever.
The Irish Pub is located in a cellar off Ul. Korzenna. The first thing that hit us was the wall of smoke and then the shock at being told by a bouncer that we must put our coats in the cloakroom (2PLN each) – ker-ching! But we found a couple of comfy chairs, had green pints of Polish beer mixed with blue curacao and watched Riverdance on the projector.
Karaoke and some dancing came later – good craic was had by all!
I wouldn’t recommend working the next day with that lethal combination. Being too tired to shop and cook, we went back to Masala. I know we recommended it before, but maybe we were just lucky? We ordered a green thai curry…. you can imagine the natural fragrant ingredients that go into traditional thai curries… lemongrass, green chillis, ginger, coriander, fish sauce, coconut milk…
And then you get this. The flavours were slightly there, but considering the lack of green chillies that were in it (it wasn’t spicy at all) I’m wondering where the green came from? The colour just put me right off. Maybe they wanted to celebrate the day after St Paddy’s day too?
