Walked around looking for a restaurant to have our dinner and decided on Lenas as we have yet to try before.Went in around 6 plus 7pm and there isn’t a queue.

Went in around 6 plus 7pm and there isn’t a queue. Glad we went in early cause there is a long queue awhile later.
We took quite a long time looking through the menu to decide on what to have and decided on two hot plate items: Diced Salmon in Egg Sauce, and Chicken in Egg Sauce.
We added the complete set to it too, which includes the rice, soup-of-the-day and a salad.
Service
The service was good and prompt. Although its “wait to be seated”, we practically did not have to wait at all.
We were also informed that a cup of water costs $0.30.
Food
The food arrived around 10-15 minutes after we placed our orders.
All the dishes were placed on a wood type of round thick tray.
First I noticed was the abundant of mushrooms on the top of the hot plate diced salmon.I immediately removed them as I did not like mushrooms and did not realize the dish comes with mushrooms.
However there are a large amount of mushrooms and lots of small pieces which makes it difficult to remove the mushrooms completely.
I got a little irritated after a while and just went ahead to have it since it is turning cold.
The first taste of the hot plate egg sauce was disappointing. There was a super strong taste of the mushrooms despite that I have removed them.Glad that I was still able to taste the egg and that the diced salmon tastes fresh and sweet.
For mine, I still had quite a lot of the egg sauce but my friend’s dried up and became hard after a while.
What we like a lot was the rice. It is fragrant and the flavor is just right. Not too oily and not too salty either.There is quite a nice balance of herbs and spices which makes the rice tastes really delicious.
The salad is comes with a sweet and sour dressing and it is really appetizing and tastes fresh.
The soup is quite nice too, not too watery and the tomato taste is not too strong.Overall it’s quite a pleasant experience. Even though the price is quite high at around $23 per person for what we’ve ordered, the food tastes nice and the portion is fulfilling, so that makes it quite worth it ;D
If I were to have it again, I will definitely watch out and request for one without mushrooms the next time. Other than the mushrooms part, I have nothing much to pick about the other dishes.
