The Ship Restaurant & Bar - 45 Years Old Western Restaurant

 The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Restaurant Front

Thanks to my ex-colleague, I finally got to try The Ship Restaurant & Bar in Shaw House.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar is really difficult to locate. You will need to cut through the 3rd floor of Isetan and walk all the way to the back.

I thought such a hidden restaurant will be quite empty but the restaurant was packed with a queue of people waiting to get in.

I think heritage definitely plays a part in The Ship Restaurant & Bar’s popularity. This restaurant was open by sea-men in 1977 which means it has been around for more than 45 years.

I like the nautical-themed decorations, but I wonder if the food is any good.

The Food

The menu consists of many classic Western dishes that you can expect to find at any self-respecting Western restaurant, perfected over the years.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Hainanese Pork Cutlet

Hainanese Pork Cutlet [S$20.90] is one of the signature dishes here. The pork cutlet is perfectly crispy on the outside yet so tender on the inside. Doused with sweet and sour vegetable sauce, this is the stuff of childhood memories.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Fish & Chips

This restaurant is supposedly quite famous for its Fish & Chips [S$17.90]. The pacific dory fish fillet is fresh, I didn’t taste any metallic taste. It’s nicely crispy with firm flesh inside.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Oxtail Stew

The Oxtail Stew [S$28.90] is one of the best I have ever had. I got 6 huge pieces of oxtail, each braised till fork-tender, served with chunks of potatoes and vegetables.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Bombe Alaska

The Ship Restaurant & Ship is one of the only restaurant in Singapore that still serves Bombe Alaska [S$19.90] commonly known as baked ice-cream or baked Alaska.

The Ship Restaurant & Bar - Bombe Alaska Inside

The base is a delicious cake, topped with peaches and vanilla ice-cream and finished off with a thick coat of meringue. The flambé only torches the outside coat of meringue, which is how they keep the ice-cream inside from melting.

The cinematic effect was not as spectacular as I hoped but the combination of cake, peaches, vanilla ice-cream and meringue makes it a rich delicious dessert.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
