| - This was my first time visiting Lee's and as a great introduction via Summerlicious for 2012, it can't be beat. I will definitely be coming back as a regular customer.
While my friends and I ordered from the Summerlicious menu, we decided to also split the Singapore slaw. I have never understood how vegans could do it, but in that brief moment, I almost decided if I could have this salad every day as a vegan, I'd be okay giving up meat (maybe for a day or two).
The starter was the shrimp cake, very light and soft inside, not like a traditional crab cake one would be familiar with, dense and doughy. This one seemed to ooze out in a delicious manner from a hard spherical shell, dripping down into a bed of lettuce.
The main course I had was the chicken dumplings gratin. While tempted to get the braised beef like my friends, I decided to have this instead, and was not disappointed. Topped with succulent shrimp, the dumplings were moist and delicious, and the spinach gratin was amazing.
Finally for desert, I decided to go for the Jade Almond cake, although I was sorely tempted to go for the coconut crème caramel. However, the almond cake was delicious, not too sweet, with licorice crème anglaise, and served with a side of chocolate mousse that had a hint of citrus in it.
This was a great evening, even with a busy environment, and I do look forward to coming here more often. Summerlicious did it's job and converted me to a regular customer.
