After 22 ships and Ham & Sherry, Jason Artherton has launched his third restaurant Aberdeen Street Social in the PMQ. We came here at six for dinner with our family. Firstly, we were kind of pissed by the waitress who was trying to give us a seat right next to the entrance and washroom, while there is a hell lots of seats. Her excuse was there was a reservation! We booked our table like two months early as well! SO? and fortunately the other guy came and gave us a better seat. And you know what?
I am going to skip the bread basket and come directly to this delicious amuse-bouche. This is quite a simple dish, but the garlic bread and the deep fried chicken nuggets were both very tasty and fresh made. Garlic bread taste very strong and the chicken was very juicy, came in nice and hot. Think it was a good start.
We ordered this Raw Hokkaido Scallops with dashi jelly, apple, shiso, avocado and wasabi puree. These Hokkaido scallops came in a good size and quite fresh, but it tastes just like any raw scallops dish, nothing much special. We also had salad as well, but think this taste better.
Braised ox cheek and roasted bone marrow, with sour dough crumbs, carrot and horseradish mesh. Except for the Ox cheek was very tender. and the bone marrow was very fattening, there is not much i can comment about this dish. It wasn't bad, but there is a lot of improvement they can make. Just no surprise, it is a very traditional dish.
This BLUEBERRY got a interesting combination of ingredients. There is smoked lapsang tea, milk textures, mascarpone, and honey whisky. The lapsang smoked tea got a real strong smoked aroma, which i think it was a bit too strong, it kind of covered the taste of the tea. the milk textures feel a bit like egg white. The whole thing was interesting, but I don't quite like the whisky, it kind of stands out on its own like a stranger.
Petite four. Surprisingly this petite four was very nice. There is chocolate, pistachio cake, passion fruit Turkish delight and some toffee. Think they are all good, if I have to rate it, i think chocolate is the most normal. The best is the pistachio cake, but toffee and Turkish delight are both good too.
In conclusion, think 22 ships is more successful and out standing. I haven't tried Ham & Sherry, I hope I will try it out soon. Think this place got so much improvement need to make, no matter on their service or food quality. It doesn't worth us book that early in advance.
