The Ship Restaurant & Bar

Used to visit The Ship Restaurant when they were at The Nex Shopping mall and I can still clearly remember that the Pork Chop Dish I had comes with Pineapple.

The Ship Restaurant

Interior was the nautical theme and based on the crowd, it looks more like a family restaurant to me. The Ship Restaurant & Bar has been around since 1977. As you entered the restaurant, you will be greeted by the helm, the signalling flags, as well as an engine order telegraph.

Though the menu was majority a Western Affair, I'm quite surprised that they actually serve local Fish Soup too.

Cream of Mushroom Soup was their soup of the day. It was creamy with some diced mushrooms and was served with bread and butter.

While making the meal a set with soup, we changed the Soup of the day to Lobster Bisque and paid $13.20 for it. The Lobster Bisque was served in a bigger soup bowl as compared to the Soup of the Day. It was creamy, served with a dash of cream and contained a few chunks of Lobster meat.

Lobster Bisque - $15.90

The spread of garlic on the scallops did not turn out to be consistent as some of the scallops had a generous amount while the others were quite little. These juicy half-shell scallops were baked with garlic and white wine.

Baked Scallops - $21.90 (Half Dozen)

Some of the scallops have charred edges too.

The Fish & Chips were bread and deep fried to its golden brown perfection.

Breaded Fish & Chips - $15.90

This simple execution was accompanied by garden salad as well as some fries. Squeeze some refreshing lemon juice over the fish and dab them into the Tatar sauce to enjoy the dish.

Here's The Ship's Lobster Specials whereby patrons can get a Baked Half Lobster Thermidor with one of the following:

Grilled Ribeye Steak
Grilled Dory Fish
Grilled Pork Chop
Grilled Chicken Chop
Grilled Lamb

The dish was served with sauteed potatoes and vegetables. Each lobster set includes the soup of the day. Dessert of the day/ Ice cream / tea/ coffee / soft drinks.

The baked half lobster Thermidor was creamy and cheesy. Tasty but as usual lobster meat's portion is just never enough nor satisfying.

Baked Half Lobster Thermidor with Grilled Pork Chop - $40.90

Accompanying the Lobster Thermidor, I had 2 slabs of yummy pork chop with some mashed pineapple sauce. The recipe for their pork chop and pineapple sauce still remains throughout the years. The pineapple sauce was on the sour side and was a perfect combination to these juicy pieces of pork chop.
