 Chimac is Korean- inspired restaurant in Dublin.  Medium Nugs + Kimcheese Fries Price- 8euro + 5.75 euro The Nugs were nice and crunchy. Pair with caramel siracha, I was in chicken heaven. On its own, it quite dry. Definitely need the sauce. It was more sweet than spicy. This wasn't a con for me though.  Chimac comes from Korean phrase of fried chicken and beer. I wanted a soju spritz, which they didn't have. Also, I'm a lightweight drinker, don't think I can take on a bottle of soju on my own.

Allergen- dairy, gluten, hazelnuts, egg, and soya. Price: €3 (discounted price) First bite to the top, overwhelming buttercream sweetness. Hazelnuts pieces would have been forgotten if weren't for it's texture contrast with buttercream. I had to peel the paper to find the sponge cake part. The buttercream sweetness was tamed after a bite with the sponge.  Only when the biscuit base entered the blend did I realize what a perfect combination of texture and taste. The biscuit base highlight the chocolate side and vice versa. The crunchy hazelnut and biscuit contrast with the melt in mouth butter cream and soft sponge. For...
