- Delightful Yet Horrible?
Anyway, it was my very first time visiting The Ship, so I was excited, just like a child.
So we arrived at The Ship (ok the photo above is definitely NOT the restaurant. It's a new deco in Mid Valley promoting The Pirates of the Carribean.) and as we stepped in, it felt just like a ship! Everything from the ceiling to the pillars and the floor are all wood. I think.One thing I disliked was, it was very dim and dull in there. Maybe they want to create a romantic environment but still, it was too dark and I wasn't happy at all with the lightings.
So, we were given the menu and placed our order, and this is what I ate.
Escargot. It's my first time ok! It's baked in some garlic sauce. I gotta admit, it was delicious! Weirdly tasty and satisfying somehow.
And, my wonderful charbroiled sirloin steak. Medium done. I like it that way, with the juice of the meat plus a slight tinge of blood (oh my gore, I sound like a vampire). The meat is much more tender than well done. This is REALLY delicious, but it's not the best I've had. And as usual (like some other restaurants), I don't like the vegetables and the potato.Ok, the food was delicious, the environment, not too good. But as the title says, HORRIBLE, what is horrible?
The service. We had half-hearted waitresses (the male ones had higher ranking, so they served better) who don't smile at all. When they said, "Enjoy your meal", that was the biggest sarcasm I ever got. LOL.
And according to my sister, when one of the waitress asked what sauce I wanted for my salad - I was a couple of seconds slow to respond - after she put some sauce on my salad, she turned back to the kitchen and rolled her eyes. How "polite".
After all that happened in there, would I return? Maybe. Definitely for the food, but the service and environment is just disturbing. It's alright, maybe I'll stick to my Pepper Lunch. :)
