Grace Said.: The Ship Restaurant (NEX)

My family, dear, and I went to The Ship at NEX to celebrate Mom's advanced birthday today.

The Ship Restaurant (NEX)
Address: 23 Serangoon Central, #01-61/62 NEX Mall, Singapore
Tel: +65 6834 3733

To be honest, I was a little skeptical about The Ship because they don't have a website, which makes it really hard to see what kind of food they serve. Furthermore, The Ship doesn't sound as prestigious as Jack's Place, Pu Tien, or even Swensen's. In short, I have no idea what they had to offer, what kind of ambience they have, and how good they are.

Regardless, I decided to give The Ship a try after reading several reviews by various foodies, who most of which gave two thumbs up for their Escargots, and mentioned that their other food items were as tasty and delicious as well.

Arriving outside The Ship, I was a little apprehensive if I had made the wrong decision. After all, the exterior looks dull, dark and confusing. I mean, who puts Chinese looking chairs outside an English Restaurant? One wouldn't know if it's a Chinese Restaurant or an English Restaurant when they pass by.

I guess they could improve their exterior by making it more in lined with their nautical theme.

Stepping into The Ship and being seated thereafter, I quickly take back my words. Unlike its exterior, The Ship's interior had a very nautical and maritime theme, with decorations such as life buoys, anchors, port windows etc.

Having appreciated The Ship's cute and interesting decor, we proceeded to order our food.

For starters, we had 1/2 a dozen Escargots. Since I've not tried Escargots before, I can't tell if it taste good or not. All I can say is that the texture taste a bit like Bamboo Clams, and the fried garlic sauce was a nice complement to it.

All of us ordered their combo set which includes a Soup of The Day, Main Course, Coffee / Tea, and Dessert.

So next up, we were served with their Soup of The Day which we could choose from either Cream of Mushroom or Sweet Corn.

For my Main Course, I ordered their Grilled SeaBass with vegetables, potatoes and chicken kebabs.

Frankly, I was little disappointed with the Grilled SeaBass. Though it's soft and juicy, but it's pretty tasteless inside.

Dear had the Lobster with Sirloin Steak which looks much more tantalizing than my Grilled SeaBass. Too bad I didn't get to try any of it.

Once we were down with our Main Course, we were served with our Dessert of the Day which was Strawberry Mousse Cake. Apart from its small portion, I didn't quite like how average it tasted. More accurately, it tasted like normal butter cake with strawberry cream on top.

However, this Strawberry Mousse Cake still taste much better in comparison with the Strawberry Cheese Cake I had at District 10.

Here's a family shot of us before we left The Ship. See, all smiles mean good times isn't it?
