WOAP2015: Mishmosh
Where? Mishmosh (Wellington CBD, Wellington, New Zealand) Map
When? Saturday August 22, 2015
Who? Tim, Jordan, Dianne, Sam, Andrew, Reuben, Shereen, My parents
Food Style? Casual Quick Eats and Tapas
Situated right in the heart of the upbeat area of Courtenay Place, Mishmosh is trying to make itself known for its food by offering some pretty solid $10 burgers every night until 10pm. Their menu also boasts some cheap pizzas and fried chicken, and not to mention, a fully operational bar. If you're in the mood for some cheap eats, Mishmosh is pretty accommodation up until 10pm, when it starts getting a bit sleazy and the drunk crowd swarms the dance floor.
Entree: Black Dog battered bluff oyster sliders
With shallot vinegar and greens
I'm normally not a fan of battered oysters - I prefer them au naturel - but these were excellent and full of flavour, and the lightly dressed greens served as a great accompaniment that didn't take the focus away from the protein.
Burger: The Helmsman
Ocean Direct snapper and crayfish burger with chunky Elaia Gourmet Olive tartare, caramelised onions and Kingsmeade Grasslands Gouda
Pretty good. The crayfish was small in comparison to the amount of snapper that was served, but it was evident when I was eating which bites had crayfish and which bites had no crayfish. To be perfectly honest, I prefer their $10 burgers over this - they're juicier and far better value for money.
Dessert: Kaffee Eis PB & J gelato
With salted caramel popcorn, waffle lady fingers and Whittaker's sauce
This could have been served as two separate desserts. Neither part really matched or augmented the other, but as individual dishes, they would have been strong enough on their own. The chocolate Whittakers was rich and dark, and waffle fingers were nicely done. However the PBJ gelato and salted caramel popcorn was absolutely amazing, and wasn't overly sweet thanks to the saltiness. If there had been more gelato, it would have been too much. Great end to the meal.
Not a bad Saturday lunch at what I've thought was a sleazy dance club (wow I sound so old saying that). I give them a seven out of ten for their burger. Again, if you're feeling hungry before 10pm and want some cheap food, give them a go.
