The fish soup uses snakehead. Big chunky pieces. Would have been better if they offered a choice of batang, snapper or salmon.

Where to find the best fried fish thick bee hoon soup Cantonese-style? I have tried many in Singapore but the best of the best by a mile goes to this one.

15 September 2025. Celebrated my birthday dinner here — it was a nostalgic experience for me. Staff were friendly and prompt. Nice ambience. Food was quite good.

The Ship Restaurant is a true Singaporean "Old School" ("老字号") legend. It has been at Shaw Centre for as long as I can remember, and stepping inside — with its nautical decor and bustling atmosphere — feels like a comforting blast from the past.

If you're going for nostalgia or the classic fish soup noodle with fried fish, The Ship Restaurant is still a solid choice — just maybe not consistently perfect every time.
