Converted from an old coffee shop, Sin Lee Foods is very much a cafe that serves Western food fare in the mature Bukit Ho Swee estate. Locating this cafe may be a little challenging for "foreigners" like me. On top of that, situated on higher ground doesn't ease the matter. Perhaps, the nearby Singapore Examination and Assessment Board (SEAB) is a convenient POI.
We ordered three items: The One and Only ($21.9), Smoked Salmon ($18) and Sweet Potato Fries with Salted Egg Yolk ($12).
"The One and Only" is basically a thick slab of fried chicken thigh on a waffle (waffle recipe from The Batter People). Despite the whetting my appetite just by the sight of it, however, its taste just didn't match up with it.
The Smoked Salmon dish was rather pleasing. Base layer of nicely baked and cubed potatoes, layered with a poached egg that was held on by Smoked Salmon and sprinkled with bacon bits.
Lastly, I would consider this another signature dish of Sin Lee Foods, their Sweet Potato Fries with Salted Egg Yolk. Tantalising looking and creative as it was, but it wasn't out of this world tasty.
Didn't try out their coffee, however, the blend used is from Papa Palheta's Throwback blend.
Generally, I love the layout and rugged/run down theme of the cafe. Food tasted fine as well. However, the price would deter me from coming here anytime soon.
