Where's Jack?
Located at where Delaney's used to be, but the whole place was whitewashed.
Dimly lit - from a bright, jovial Irish bar to a quasi fine dining drinking place. We didn't really appreciate it. Spacious though.
Gastropub:
A lot of standard pub grub, plus a lot of pizza's, pastas and finger food to choose from. Mostly between HK$160-$200.
We ordered Fish and Chips ($160), Steak and Guinness Pie, Angus Burger and a pan-fried sole.
Fish and Chips:
Batter:
After making my own fish and chips, I realized how difficult it is to make a crispy batter. I was surprised at how much variety there could be as well.The batter was crunchy enough but not seasoned, i.e. bland. It was just marginally better than the one served at the "Fish Bar". Not comparable to Jimmy's Kitchen or Chippy.
Fish: Again, having made my own battered fish, I realized how easy it is to get fresh fish fillet. There is really no excuse not to use a good quality piece of fish fillet. Even if you don't pay attention to the batter at all, simply using a fresh piece of whatever fish, halibut, cod, sole for example. would give you a decent result.
I think they used cod (not stated on the menu) for the fish. It's not very warm. The fish was hard and dry. I'm pretty sure they used deep frozen fish fillets. The fish might have been kept frozen for a lengthy period. There was barely any fish taste.
Chips: Or wedges. This was one potato cut into 3-4 large chunks. This was not good. Cold. The skin was a bit crunchy but not seasoned. Very dry and bland. Unfortunately one of the worse chips I've had in quite a while
Pile of peas: The most striking feature was the large amount of mushy peas served with the fish and chips and the steak and guiness pie. Not bad - unfortunately, this was the best part of the meal.
Service: Very good service. All servers were polite and efficient.
Conclusion:
Unfortunately, none of us were too excited about the food that evening. I won't rule out returning for a pint of Guinness and some finger food.
Still, I prefer Dublin Jack.
