When I was a kid, my folks would take us to The Ship every other Sunday after our swim. When I started working, I continued to frequent The Ship with my colleagues during lunch or dinner, and on birthdays and dates . You can tell I adore their steaks.

Been years since I’ve been there. Yep, life got busy when the kids came. But last weekend, we finally got to introduce our kids to a dining experience that holds a rich history for me and their dad.

Lucky us, they have a Royal Victorian Christmas Lunch set on their Christmas menu. It comes with Cream of Tomato Soup (below top) but for old times’ sake, I ordered their Seafood Chowder (below bottom) and DH his favorite Oxtail Soup (forgot to snap a pix of that).

Mm-mm, I’m speechless! My Seafood Chowder was crammed with large chunks of squid, fish and shrimps. Da best! And I’m not even paid to write this post .

There are 3 choices for the main course on their Christmas set menu. I chose the Charbroiled Black Pepper Minute Steak (below) which came with a thick, flavorful sauce that i found to be a tad salty!

The Roasted Chicken Whole Leg with Brown Sauce is simple but tastes divine…

The Grilled Fish Fillet with Caribbean Sauce boasts of a refreshingly sourish tomato-based sauce. A very nice combination.

This Santarina Mocktail (below) which is a concoction of orange and carrot juice, and a single scoop of ice cream complete the set lunch menu.

One of my daughters had the ala carte Charbroiled Rib Eye Steak which comes with a salad ahead of the main course. This steak is melt-in-the-mouth for real, not just empty promises.

My daughter was thrilled that the waiter topped the baked potato right before her eyes and she got to choose the topping from small metal serving jugs shaped like Aladdin’s magic lamp.

The kids were all over the nautical themed decor. It feels like dining on a real ship, they say. And of course, if you’re wondering if the food is still as good as it was back then, the answer is yes.

I don’t know how they’ve managed that. Everything is the same as it was 20, 30 years ago from the authentic decor to the impeccable service. And they still serve REAL food which is still value for money. Guess it’s not known as the best steak in town for nothing, eh?!
