Japanese whisky cocktail bar Mizunara: the library.The ordered cocktails are: kohbai: a umeshu & whisky cocktail, for a umeshu lover this is a must try. serendipity: whisky& white port, with a touch of gold. A very unusual cocktail. These two were theirs invention, I loved both. Max went for Ichiro's Mizunara Wood Reserve on the rock when he was waiting for me to finish mine. I am always curious abt Ichiro, a young talented master who is good at blending, his malt would be my first choice to try unless there is an Yamazaki 25 or special on the menu. The Ichiro’s MRW was elegant, surprisingly long finish even it’s 46%. It felt like a cask strength to me. Our final round: sweet dessert chocolate cocktail Mononofu. The appearance was very deceiving, even the waiter thought it was coke 🤣.Max ordered a boring whisky sour, ❓❓❓❓apparently it’s too much lemon…I think theirs original cocktails are far better than the ordinary cocktail.…Read More

其实我知道他们的原因是因为我在周围闲逛，逛到了一个熟成牛肉店，店里有很少见的西班牙90天熟成rubia牛肉。西班牙人吃牛肉的习惯和其他地方还挺不一样的，他们喜欢吃年龄更大的牛。英国肉牛一般不会超过3岁，然而在西班牙十几岁的退役奶牛牛排反而是稀有品。时间久了，脂肪颜色更深，风味更足，但也需要更长的干式熟成去分解纤维否则就会太老。那天店家的牛排实在漂亮，遗憾的是牛排太大，我们两个人吃不下来。店家就说，22 ships用的是我们家的牛肉，想吃想吃的话也可以去哪里吃。听肉店老板的话，总是没错的。于是我们周末没定位，就去22 ships吃牛排。22 ships其实是一家西班牙tapas店，不预定，我们去的早，就在窗口坐下。除了牛排还点了几个点心。你完全可以信任港人烹饪的火候，宁愿生了也不愿过老，鳌虾特别鲜嫩。油很香，要有面包的话，拿来抹面包一点很棒。港人爱吃海胆，我们又点了海胆面包和生牛肉面包。说句实话，22 ships以西班牙tapas店标准来说的话远不算正宗，更接近亚洲fusion的西班牙tapas。海胆和生牛肉都用了美乃滋垫底，味道浓郁，口感层次也丰富，但不似西班牙爽朗浓烈的风格。炸丸子还不错，但我觉得应该是买的。pan con tomate（番茄面包）是tapas店的看家本领，就暴露出来店家薄弱的西班牙菜基础：面包没有煎，番茄不够浓。然而牛排本身真的很赞，牛肉味非常非常浓郁（西冷很少那么香），火候正好，柔嫩多汁，肉食爱好者吃得非常满意。朋友们要去的话，一定不要点太典型的西班牙菜。…Read More

We were greedy, we wanted to try all the flavours in the shop. The minimum order per flavour is 4 wings, which apply to all the menu.Free flow sounds like a good option when we want to try as many flavours as possible.Eventually we had two rounds, 24 wings, 6 flavour each round. 4 wings were left at the end.All of them were very nice, however some of them were very unique, and worth the calories more than others. The first rounds was good, the second round became a marathon 😅.We ordered: Round 1Gaibo (out of stock, replaced with sweet sour, which we do love).Spicy buffalo (wish didn’t order) Carolina reaper (super hot, but we love it)Espresso (love it)Katsu (good to have)Lemon pepper (best in this round)Round 2:Salted egg (controversial)Mongolian bbq (skippable)Ranch (interesting)Singapore zing (not super spicy, sweet and spicy)Tandoori (skippable)Honey wasabi (it’s nice when the honey is not over coated) .The wing do get cold if you don’t finish them in 15 minutes ish.…Read More
