Mr. Say Lip Hai arrived in Singapore from Hainan island and started as a cookboy with the British troops in Sembawang.
It was there that he learned to make the perfect roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. A British housewife who tasted Mr. Say's now famous meals suggested that he start a catering business with her husband, Jack Hunt, in his pub at Killiney Road known as Jack's Place.
In 1968, Mr. Say agreed and commenced that partnership. Jack Hunt sold his share of the business shortly afterwards, but Jack the Chef still runs the kitchen today.
Today, Jack's Place is the preferred choice for families and friends to enjoy affordable sizzling steaks, specialty meals, and delicious cakes.
Jack's Place is dedicated to providing quality food and creating unforgettable dining experiences in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere for its customers.
