No, no, they are not closing down or anything like that. The goodbye is at my end.
Lunch time at around 2.oopm. There was one other table occupied when I visited.
Bun and butter. I requested for warm water but I was told there is only hot water. OK. Served in a teacup.
Yup, chili sauce and tomato sauce. I will need it.
Grilled Lamb Chops. Looks good.
The mint sauce was awful - watery and sour.
There were bone shards in the lamb and no, it was not delicious at all. As I concluded last year, this ship has sailed along with the chef(s) who could cook the best steaks in town. Bye!
I don't remember when was the last time I ate in The Ship. I think it was more than 20 years ago. After that for steak we prefer to go to Victoria Station and now is to Maria's Steak Cafe.
ReplyDeleteI wonder π€ who eats at The Ship nowadays for them to survive till now
Apparently they still have customers. Some go there more for the nostalgia. The food is really dismal.
DeleteDo you think they added vinegar to the mint sauce? That's why it is sour?
ReplyDeleteOnline it says classic mint sauce for lamb contains lots of fresh spearmint and vinegar.
They might have added vinegar. It was very sharp.
DeleteThe mint sauce does look disgusting π«£ π© Here in Montreal mint jelly is used...and it is green π π© like mint.
ReplyDeleteI do love ❤️ lamb. Thank you π π so much for sharing, dear friend.
You are right! It tasted even more disgusting! I have never had mint jelly.
DeleteI like the interior of this Ship restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThe interior is very old school.
DeleteI had a good laugh at your post title...and yes, I agree that this ship should have sailed a long time ago. The fact they have not capsized and sunk but still stay afloat amazes me when they've not changed or upgraded their menu in umpteen years...still see the same old bun and sides. I've not been here like more than 20 years I think. You're right, the good chefs are all old and retired already...lol! Well, it's about time you bid farewell...we've eaten a lot better steaks/food since.
ReplyDeletehah..hah... My partner suspects that they own the premises which is why they can survive or else the rental would have killed them.
