| - I had such a great time at Lee! The atmosphere is very relaxed, yet fancy at the same time. There are even some Chinese decorations around the bar (lanterns, Chinese calculators) which I thought was beautifully done!! Looks so cool. The service was amazing from hostess to server to food expo. Everyone was extremely friendly and constantly came to check up on us to make sure we were doing okay! We even got to see famous Chef Susur Lee lurking around hahaha. Overall experience was wonderful and I wouldn't hesitate to come back here a second time.
Finally got to try Susur's SIGNATURE Singaporean-Style Slaw and it certainly lived up to my high expectations. There was so much variety and so many layers to it, and every part of it tasted just right! Very, very good and flavourful. I added Sashimi (6pcs) for $8 which I thought was worth it. It definitely added to the dish. The only downside was that it supposedly serves two, but was a bit too much for the two of us. I think it would be better suited for 3 people, or even 4 if you just want a little bit each! After all, it is just an appetizer/something to start you off with.
I also thought the Cheese Burger Spring Roll was an interesting concept so I had to try it. It was definitely another unique item and was delicious! Meaty, cheesy, yet still had that Asian spring roll taste to it. However, I likely would not buy it again - One of those one timers for me. Eat it with the salad!
In addition, I also participated in the Winterlicious prix fixe menu for $45:
1) ROASTED JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE & SPICED HAZELNUTS (vegetarian) - Light Goat Cheese, Maple Balsamic Glaze - I don't recommend this, as it was the only part of my meal that I didn't enjoy. Tasted kind of funny to me, and not in a good way.
2) LEE'S SLOW BRAISED BEEF - Roasted Root Veg, Potato & Leek Purée - This was one of my favourite dishes during my visit! The beef was cooked so nicely and tasted incredible. Real juicy, soft, and tender. Absolutely loved the potatoes/veggies as well.
3) SPRING ROLL CRÈME BRULEE + HOT APPLE STRUDEL + PANI PURI - Trio of Desserts! Perfect Winterlicious restaurant choice because of the variety of dessert you get. It gives you a taste of 3 different things, which is great for trying something new. My favourite of the 3 was the spring roll creme brulee! Melts in your mouth and simply compliments your meal. The others were good too.
