Steak - The Ship (Jo-ann's birthday)

We were kinda planning to celebrate jo-ann's bday and i made reservations at The Ship restaurant.




Located at a ulu part of Shaw Centre. Simple instructions would be u go to Shaw Isten level 3 and from the Polo Jeans dept, theres this opening where u can walk to the other side of Shaw Centre. From there u turn left and ... kaki try to find la!

Otherwise, u take the lift from the Shaw Centre McDonalds, take to level 4 and den again, kaki try to find la.. its around there.

Diane told me this morning, this restaurant has been around for more than 10 yrs. I first heard about this place during my JC days. My dearest Joanne has been saying she wants to bring me there for duno how many years! lol...




As soon as i stepped into The Ship, i got pretty much reminded to Shashlik. They both seem to have existed since our parents started dating era kinda feeling. The whole ambience and feel.
Ordered 2 soup, 2 steak, 1 escargots (strongly recommended by Diane) and 1 dessert thats supposed to act as a cake for jo-ann.



I was first served the bread and butter followed by the soup.



I ordered the lobster bisque and the russian borsch. The lobster bique came with lobster meat and fine carrot strips. Its not bad but i kinda prefer the lobster bique at Jacks Place - price wise as well. Their lobster bisque is about $13.50 o~ The Russian Borsch is around $4.20 if i recall correctly.



The escargots were served shortly after the soup came.



Our steak arrived after we finished the soup.

The portions were not small. Both the steak were..... YUMMMMMMMMMY! Very nice! Pricey, yes. Ship steak is ard $27 whilst King Steak is around $32. But i would think its worth the price.

After 'taking care' of the steaks, the finale arrived. Bombe Alaska.



Sponge cake with peaches and ice cream covered by whipped egg white heated with over flame by the server. The menu says it serves 2. Its lying. It can serve up to 4 or 5!!! Its so huge!!!
