I have finally boarded the ship (pun intended) and tried the oft talked about 22 ships~ in case you are wondering the name of the restaurant is actually its address. A cute touch.The whole outfit is somewhat casual, with bar seats surrounding the whole of the open kitchen and if you like they have a few seats facing out onto the street where you can people watch. If you are sitting at the bar be assured you will have the best seats in the house for watching the chefs prepare your food which may
The whole outfit is somewhat casual, with bar seats surrounding the whole of the open kitchen and if you like they have a few seats facing out onto the street where you can people watch. If you are sitting at the bar be assured you will have the best seats in the house for watching the chefs prepare your food which may not be the best if you are hungry, but it is a tight space so be prepared to rub shoulders with your neighbours.
The menu doubles as your place mat while daily specials are listed on the blackboard.
Starting with something light. The beetroot salad was as pretty as a picture, a litte patch of Spring in the onset of Winter. Pairing creamy blobs of goats cheese and salt baked beetroot was a winning combination, but the pear jelly was a tasteless bystander.
Roasted bone marrow from the daily specials. Oily, fatty goodness come to me~ Their version is a little different, meat mixed in with the marrow making for less of an oily mouthful. Smeared on the perfectly toasted bread spread with sweet mustard and a little of the caramelised onions, it was pretty damn good!
People have waxed lyrical about these mini sliders filled with Iberian pork and foie gras, but... I wasn't so impressed. I mean the brioche was soft, and the meatball patty was tender enough with the familiar gaminess from foie gras, however it just wasn't special. I actually liked the side of creamy avocado and pickled cucumbers more...
So did I like it? It's quite good, although I only had a limited amount of dishes from the menu, meaning I need to make a return visit. I was lucky that I didn't need to wait for a seat (honestly what is with waiting and HK restaurants) since they have a no reservations policy, but arriving at 2pm for a late lunch was certainly the right choice. 22 ships don't include service charge in the bill, so tip accordingly, there is creativity and the food is really not bad ;)
