💘 Last-Minute 520 Date Night at Mama Yo

Forget roses – this year’s 520 (aka Chinese "I Love You" Day 💌) called for crispy sweet-and-sour pork and zero planning! 🌂 Mama Yo – Dublin’s sleek, fusion Chinese spot – saved our soggy souls. Here’s the chaotic review: 🏮 The Vibe 🏮 Ambiance: Moody lighting, open kitchen (👩🍳 Chinese chefs wok-ing magic!), and a crowd that’s 90% non-Asian. Perfect for pretending you’re in a Wong Kar-wai film. 🎥 Service: Foreign staff who’ve mastered the art of smiling through “xièxie” attempts. 😅 🥡 Food Breakdown 🥡 FREEBIE: Shrimp crackers 🦐✨ – salty, crunchy, and gone in 60 seconds. STARTER: Lotus Buns 🍔🌿 Steamed buns + fried soft-shell crab + sad underseasoned greens = oddly addictive. Panda Express’ bougie cousin? 🐼💸 MAINS: 1️⃣ General Gau Chicken 🍗🍯 Crispy, sticky, and sweet – your Irish aunt’s idea of “exotic.” Not bad, but where’s the SICHUAN FIRE?! 🔥 2️⃣ Sweet & Sour Pork 🐖🍍 Glossier than a TikTok filter! Tender pork, tangy sauce – the crowd-pleaser. Paired with fried rice (✅) and bland steamed rice (❌). 💰 Damage: €€€ (Mains ~€18-22)** Paying for the Instagrammable dark walls, not the MSG. 📸🖤 🚨 Why We’re Not Going Back 🚨 "Authenticity": As Chinese as a leprechaun in a qipao. 🍀👘 Price Tag: €40+ per person for fusion meh? Nah, we’ll stick to spice bags. 🥡 🌟 Silver Linings 🌟 Emergency Savior: Saved our 520 from soggy sandwiches! Date Night Cred: Mood lighting hides all sins (including the chicken). 😉 #DublinEats #ChineseFusion #520Survival #DateNightDiaries #OverpricedButPretty #IrishChinese
