Food Review - The Ship

When there is food involved, who else is there better to do the review but the fat Fadboy.

Today, I am bringing you to a place many aunties and uncles would be familiar with. A Singaporean "classic".. when western food first got popular, this was the "in" place to be...

Yes, The Ship... For the younger ones out there, ask your parents (or grandparents if u are younger den young).

And if you have never heard of it, its not because its located at some obscure place. In fact, its located in the heart of Orchard Road. Its just located on the 4th floor of Shaw Centre (the one besides Lido!)

What would be difficult is actually really finding it. It is located in a obscure corner of Shaw Centre.

Go to Isetan (in Lido! its not just a cinema!), go to the 3rd floor.. Try to locate the photo booth and walk into Shaw Centre. Ok, I narrowed your search, now try looking for that striking Neon Yellow Sign that SCREAMs!

Once you are in the restaurant, its a cruise (no pun intended!) from here...

Sit back... Relax... Let the waiter light the candle on your table... and enjoy the peace and tranquility. (You will soon forget the lights and buzz of busy Orchard Road.)

The place might appear alittle "Old - School", but I am impressed with the effort taken to decorate the place into its name worthy.

The ambience of the place is amazing. If you have a date, bring him/her here and impress them with your knowledge of this really cool and hidden spot! (remember to let them know u heard it from us!)

Ok, lets talk about the SERIOUS stuff now.

My date had the Norwegian Salmon that came with side vegs and potatoes. You can't really see it in the photo but underneath the salmon was spinach that were excellent! (we didnt notice until we were busy filling ourselves up!)

Thick, juicy and fresh... Just 3 words to describe the Salmon (yes, I stole more than just a bite!)

For myself, I could not decide between seafood and the beef. Thus I decided on a Combo! (even for combos they had quite a few to choose from!)

I chose one that had a beef (the waiter was nice enough to tell me which was the best cut of the day!) and lobster!


The meal concluded with cake (i saw others with a scope of ice cream) and coffee (or tea).. Nothing special, but just something simple you would expect after a meal from home...

All in all, it was a wonderful experience. Well worth the $60 spent. But I do have to comment that although the food was good but it was really the ambience that blew me over.

So I give it 4 out of 5 Fadpoints!

And do remember to pay, else the Captain might just ask you to walk the plank!
