| - We started our meal with the Singaporean Slaw, and it quickly came apparent why so many people name Lee when listing the best restaurants in Toronto. The slaw has a perfect balance of freshness, crunch, sweet and salty. If I returned to Lee this dish would definitely be reordered. Or perhaps I would go for lunch and only order it just for myself.
After the slaw we had the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls. Although a bit messy, these were fantastic. They are like a cheeseburger inside out. And I love that the lettuce wrap gave it some freshness that some deep fried spring rolls are lacking. I also really appreciate when restaurants do spins on dishes that you can't find anywhere else, or in your frozen food section at a grocery store.
Next came the Watermelon Feta Salad. This dish was perfect for sharing as it comes with 8 cubes, so it feeds a group of 4 perfectly. The watermelon chunks were big, as well as the feta. Combined with the olive, balsamic vinaigrette, jalapeno, and mint... it really was a spectacular dish. I would definitely reorder this one.
After came the Crispy Tofu. The crispy tofu was good, and I especially enjoyed the glaze. It was also nice and crispy on the outside and smooth in the middle which made for a great contrast of textures. If I had to choose between the Watermelon or Tofu though, I'd go with the Watermelon. Also, the crispy tofu comes in 6 pieces, compared to the watermelon's 8.
And finally one of our mains arrived, the Braised Beef. The beef was not over powering and definitely had an extreme melt in your mouth factor going on. The star of the dish for me though was the puree, which was super smooth and velvety. I don't care how much butter was put in it, it was worth it. Super delicious.
And lastly we had the Top Chef Green Curry Chicken. The highlight of the dish for most of the table was the rice cake. I kind of wish more rice cake came with the dish it was so yummy! I also thought the green curry sauce was to die for, and the chicken chunks were a good size. If top chef judges get to eat this kind of food all the time, I would consider them very lucky! If I had to choose between the braised beef or the green curry, I'd go with the green curry. It was also easier to share.
I totally would recommend Lee to visitors from out of town who may only be here a short time. Totally worth it. And also, if you live in the city and haven't been, I'd recommend it as well.
