Choice steak and more

WHEN Malaysians talk of gastronomi­c dining at The Ship, there is no mistaking they are referring to their favourite, award-winning Western cuisine restaurant renowned for serving “The Best Steak in Town”. But by no means is The Ship popular only with the locals as foreign tourists and expatriate­s are among their delighted patrons, a testament that the appeal of great food is universal.

Serving great food and drinks since 1972, The Ship has expanded over the years to cater to popular demand.

Today, The Ship owns and operates seven restaurant­s in the Klang Valley and Penang island.

The newest of The Ship’s restaurant­s, showcases a splendid modern version of its signature nautical décor, now launched at PJ Centrestag­e,at No.1, Jalan 13/1, Seksyen 13, PJ.

In line with its corporate branding, every restaurant of The Ship bears a visual likeness of a ship intended to create a uniquely memorable dining experience.

However, patrons who prefer an open and spacious dining hall will be glad to know The Ship at PJ Centrestag­e is all that, and more, in a modern presentati­on.

The menu at The Ship features a varied array of delicious cuisines in both Western and Malaysian styles prepared from traditiona­l recipes using the choicest and freshest of ingredient­s.

With the acclaim of serving “The Best Steak in Town”, surely the star of The Ship’s menu offerings is its range of fine steaks.

Whether it be rib-eye, sirloin, T-bone, fillet Mignon or some other prime cuts of beef, every slice of steak is expertly cooked to the precise degree of the patron’s preference.

The Ship’s outlets in Kuala Lumpur are located at Jalan Bukit Bintang (03- 2144 3605), Jalan Sultan Ismail (03-2141 8805), Jalan Dang Wangi Pertama Complex (03-2698 3791), Damansara Utama (03-7728 8020) and PJ Centrestag­e (03-7610 0801). The Ship outlets in Penang are located at Jalan Batu Ferringhi (04-881 2142) and Sri Bahari Road (04-263 9532). an epitome of French-Japanese fusion food with its light and fluffy texture with a twist; top-grade Matcha powder is added into this classic French soufflé to give it a distinct Japanese characteri­stic.

Another highly recommende­d item at Franco is the Franco French Toast; dubbed the best French toast in the world, the thick yet fluffy French toasts are drizzled with golden maple syrup and topped with whipped cream.

The long gastronomi­c love affair between Japan and France is also evident in Spaghetti Yumeina, a spaghetti dish embellishe­d with Japanese soy sauce, shoyu and Franco’s signature broth and sauteed with frankfurte­rs, baby spinach, tomatoes and smoked chicken ham.

The vanilla souffle with a Japanese touch through the delicate balance of umami flavours is another favourite. The unique dish is sweet and creamy.

The souffle pancakes come in different flavours and topping is an explosion of taste and texture.

Savoury appetisers and main dishes also abound in the menu, from more than five different pastas, five different bread-based dishes.

The variety of beverages available will quench your thirst whatever drinks it is you desire.
