Arrived at 7.00 on a Saturday night after work, ordered a beer and waited for some friends, there was meant to be 8 of us but ended up being only 4, when my friend got there she waited a little and put our names down, I was almost finished my beer by now and it was around 7.30, our friends were meeting us at 8 so we did as advised and went down to the bar affiliated with the resturant down the road! DELICIOUS cocktail but that is another story all together! 22 ships gave us a call probably just
22 ships gave us a call probably just before 8 and we wandered down the road and were seated withing 10 minutes.. after trolling through the menu for non fish items (I dont do seafood) we decided on a bevy of foods.
Plate of Ham - this was so good! Rich and salty and oh so meaty went perfectly with our beers! It wasnt hard or chewy but almost melted in your mouth and was a perfect way to start
Mini Burgers - The burger sliders were really tasty, the bread was more like the sweet buns found in HK and was really smooth when the creamy avocado and tart pickles were combined! I loved it! My brother found it less enjoyable but good regardless
Bone Marrow Toasts - These were the highlight for me! Smooth creamy marrow on cruchy toast with a type of crumb! The contrast in textures made this heaven! Definately try it!!
Beans - We deided that with all the meat we should probably get some veggies so we got the beans, a mix of three types of beans; broad, baby peas and I'm not sure of the third one but they really were super! I don't normally like broad beans but these I couldn't get enough of!
Tuffle Toasties - These were adorable, tiny but so good! Such subtle gentle flavours they could easily have been overpowered and seen as bland but they were gentle and perfectly toasted with hints of everything they needed! Reccomend!
I think we got some other things but my memory is fading! Lucky last was dessert! Oh my sweet God in heaven dessert!!
Toadstool icecream/mousse thing - This was the most adorable and tastiest thing I have ever eaten! It was creamy but at the same time such a perfect temperature, soft enough to be light but at the same time I felt like there was such substance to it!
Goats cheese icecream - Not too tart, not too sweet! This had a beautiful balance! So glad we got it!!
Overall I would say that 22 ships is pricey but the food reflects that, if you want a big meal dont go here, but if you want food that tastes incredible definately try it! It's worth it, maybe it's my expat nature but when I compared the 250/pax we payed to Australian prices I am amazed by the caliber of food I got! Try it! You won't regret it!!
