Fortune Cookies

IRE60

Honestly! My 6 year old has me hounded - he's after seeing something on TV and now wants to go to a Chinese Restaurant - but they have to have fortune cookies!

We're off on a family excursion on Saturday and might try a Chinese. Anyone know of one in Dublin city (pref s/s) that would definitely have Fortune Cookies!

(Cheap and cheerful would be great as well!)

Ah, that's really cute. Very cool six year old embracing other cultures!! I don't know any restaurant that has them, but I was paying for my (obsession with spicy ramen soup) stuff in the Han Sung Asian market on Great Strand street and there was definitely cheap fortune cookies at the till. It's right at the Luas stop. You could grab a few there and head to Koh in the Italian Quarter and get the waiter/waitress to "produce" them at the end of the meal.

The kids menu is a fiver, it's a choice of veg, chicken or beef noodles. Enough for an adult! And the staff are superb, they'll go along with the fortune cookie thing if you bring them yourself. The salads are amazing... (for you)

I don't think they (Koh) open till 1pm.. but it's worth it. Han Sung open earlier.



(the cookies are normally horrible wherever I get them, but it's the fun that has the kids)

From 6 year old: "Thank you so much, you were so kind"

Giving them to the waiters is a good idea. I got them before but cannot recall where, many years ago and in other countries too, I do remember whenever I got them the "fortune" was pretty disappointing, sort of Chingrish with no real meaning.

There are recipes online so you could make some and have more personalised "fortunes" that a 6 year old would understand and be more impressed with.
