Ham & Sherry is conveniently located on Ship Street by The Pawn, J Residence, Koh Thai, Bo Innovation, etc., beside a tram stop.Weather was bad so I'm guessing that's why the place wasn't too busy but we slotted into our bar seats anyway to try the food. I am a fan of Spanish tapas after all.Lunch sets were a decently priced $128 per person - not including dessert though.Caesar salad, anchovies, parmesan & crispy hamA standard plate of greens. Not overly dressed, which I appreciated. Good sized portion for a starter.Chicken “Paella"A good enough hot plate of Spanish paella (like risotto). I wish it were a bit creamier because the colder it got the drier it got. On the other hand I was eating verrry verrry slowly... oh, and be careful of that hot plate, burnt my arm on it.Australian beef bacon cheeseburgerSurprisingly good! Do yourself a favour though and try to eat it fast to enjoy the juicy patty. Of course I had to have dessert: Lemon cake, matcha tea, toffee, raspberry & balsamicWow this dish was delicious!!! The lemon cakes were lip smackingly good and the foam was light and tart. yum..Would I come back? Probably not, once was enough...…Read More

假期, 還是要繼續工作. 累了, 還是在午餐的時候吃得寫意一點, 為自己打打氣. 短短的船街, 選擇委實不少, 是日就來Ham & Sherry吃個午餐吧. 其實Ham & Sherry是跟22 ships同系, 那邊的菜式是很有創意的, 且看這邊的水準又如何呢?或許是假期的關係, 人客不太多. 不過店子是比22 ships那邊稍為大一點, 幾個人來吃也無問題. 我一個人, 當然是坐回吧檯吧, 看著廚師們在工作, 也是樂趣. 午市來到, 那就在Lunch specials那一欄揀選一客三文治吧, 另外, 少不了的是來一客甜品.Jamon & cured beef sandwich $108: 8.5分, Lunch specials有三款選擇, 都是輕食類別, 快吃快走嘛. 我的選擇是Jamon & cured beef sandwich, 即是西班牙火腿加上鹹牛肉的三文治. 來到Ham & Sherry, 還是吃火腿為上算. 一客一開三, 讓客人吃得更為便利. 包身是幾鬆軟的, 入面的西班牙火腿以及鹹牛肉皆是水準之作, 肉質嫩滑, 入口無渣, 帶鹹香. 配上番茄及菜蔬同吃, 清新一點, 也會是比較健康的配搭. 這客三文治, 用料上乘, 簡簡單單的配搭起來, 讓人很滿足.Lemon cake, matcha tea, toffee, raspberry & balsamic $72: 8.5分, 吃完三文治, 也是時候吃甜品. 廚師們兩三下手勢就預備好了, 其實還有煙霧彌漫的效果, 不過我就不太能夠補足到這個情景, 唯有留在心中吧. 這客甜品, 賣相很精緻, 色彩鮮艷. 檸檬蛋糕質感對辦, 檸檬香幾突出. 配上抹茶, 拖肥及意大利香醋結合而成的泡沫, 帶點分子料理的感覺, 味道酸酸甜甜的, 很有個性.很喜歡在Ham & Sherry吃午餐, 簡簡單單, 投入自我的空間, 享受一客精彩的西班牙火腿鹹牛肉三文治, 再加上檸檬抹茶拖肥意大利香醋蛋糕, 就算工作再忙, 人生路再難走, 還是有力氣繼續去走上高山低谷. 這裡不設加一, 埋單$180, 不便宜的午餐, 但能夠吃得開懷, 也是辛勞工作的加力良方.…Read More
