Diep, creators of “the finest Thai cuisine direct to your home” were among the nominees for best world cuisine at this week’s Best Restaurant Awards. 2014.
To celebrate they have given us TWO prizes to give away THIS afternoon.
Claire at Diep sez:
“The first prize is 2 tickets to Taste of Dublin this Friday (Iveagh Gardens, Dublin 12noon- 4pm session). You can come and visit Diep’s mothership restaurant Diep Le Shaker who have a BBQ with Irish spring lamb cooked on sustainable charcoal from Lough Derg! Wild stuff at Stand R10!
The second prize is a scrumptious DIEP Thai meal for 2 people delivered to your door.2 starters, 2 mains, Bottle of Wine & free delivery. If you don’t win you can always order Diep Thai food on our website Diep.ie which has just had a facelift and looks pretty darn hot.”
Blimey.
To enter:
Using only traditional ingredients create (in writing) the perfect Thai/Irish main course meal .
Lines MUST close at 5.45pm 8.15pm

…we’re making a movie, and we’re trying to raise a €1,000 for the basic equipment to make it. It’s an all Irish production and everyone’s working for free on it.
G’wan the satirical North Wicklow-based proto-production!

I can testify that’s it’s not just the flags that are similar between our two countries. But they may actually have the best supporters in the world (see above).”
Fight!

“Like a one-man Google car (with a heart), I managed to preserve the Liffey Quays, long before digital stitching techniques were invented. This is also the reason it took me 20 years to realise my vision of an immersive, high resolution photographic documentation of Dublin’s Inner City. I simply had to wait for computing power to catch up with what I had in mind.”
