It is hilarious, which is why we keep coming back here once in a while! To rekindle old memories. 
Places like The Ship is in a separate category altogether from “actual” continental restaurants here, like Two Frenchies and their ilk.
I always find it interesting to share what old-school localised “Western” food looked like to the unsuspecting visitor. The Ship’s counterpart in Hong Kong would be places like Tai Ping Koon with its Swiss-sauced chicken wings, baked crabmeat-cheese in crab-shell, and corned ox-tongue, or Jimmy’s Kitchen. They are a dying breed in an increasingly globalised world.
In Singapore, if we want “actual” American-style steak dinners, we’d go to CUT by Wolfgang Puck, Lawry’s or Morton’s. If we want “local” Singaporeanised Western steaks, we’d go to The Ship or Jack’s Place.
