Super Supper Club

A few weeks ago Ugly Duckling tweeted about a Supper Club in their George's Street Arcade - €39.95 for a five course tasting menu with drinks and I managed to get two tickets and last night we went along. 

Started off with a Wimbledon cocktail - Gin, Pimms, cucumber, lemon and lime. Soo good :)

First course was a crispy hen's egg with asparagus and Hollandaise sauce. The egg was so good. When you cut into it the yolk just oozed. I think it was the nicest Hollandaise I've tried. This was paired with a glass of white wine. 

Second course was scallops with grapefruit and a pea and avocado purée. The scallops were really well cooked and v moreish :) They paired this with a Brooklyn Sorachi Ace beer.

Next up was a passion fruit, mango and gin sorbet. Seriously refreshing! 

Main course was pork three ways - a pork chop, crispy pork belly and a  ham hock croquette served with mash, carrot purée and cabbage with apple and vanilla. This was paired with a delicious Floris apple beer.

Last course was chocolate heaven!!! Chocolate macaroon, chocolate sauce, chocolate brownie and a warm chocolate soup. Absolutely amazing and I wanted to lift the bowl and finish it off but managed to behave :-) 

This was the first time they've done the supper club and it was mainly the guys' families that were there but I'm chuffed to have been part of it - huge thanks guys!!! 

If you've been to either Ugly Duckling spots then this is is not what you'd expect to be eating but OMG the guys are incredibly talented. The supper club definitely needs to become a regular thing. Brilliant night
