It all started when Mr Say Lip Hai arrived in Singapore from Hainan Island and started as a cookboy with the British troops in Sembawang learning how to prepare the perfect roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. After learning the skills, he started his first own restaurant called Cola Restaurant and Bar. Mr Say's break came when a British housewife tasted the steak prepared by him and suggested that he started a catering business in her husband's pub in Killiney Road. Her husband's name was Jack Hunt. Mr Say agreed with the condition that he took over the whole operation, which led to the birth of the famous Jack's Place Steak House in 1966. Jack Hunt sold the business to Mr Say in 1967.
