 They are famed for their chicken and waffles which is what I tried the last time I visited. I was impressed more by the salted egg fries which had me wanting to come back ever since then!

 I had also previously tried their pie crust slushie which was a digestive version of an oreo milk shake. It was a memorable experience and I was hoping to see that in the menu again, but nope. It's gone, and replaced with a coconut slushie and a banana horlicks slushie.

 Made with coconut jelly and toasted coconut flakes. The coconut slushie stands pretty tall. I enjoyed the coconut jelly which was quite hard and chewy with a QQ feel. But I wish they were red rubies!

 The drink was very icy for me, I felt it had more ice than anything else. Definitely nowhere as good as their pie crust slushie. This was pretty disappointing.

 Made with fresh banana, horlicks and ice cream. In an attempt to try and save my reputation of Sin Lee, I ordered another slushie in hopes that this would be somewhat closer to that magical pie crust slushie. But nope, this was diluted, all you could taste were bananas. I couldn't even taste horlicks. For $9, Sin lee, please reconsider what you are selling. Thanks.

 Twice fried sweet potato fries, house made slated duck's egg sauce with curry leaves. This tasted very different from the last one I had. The sauce itself was more diluted, and you had to struggle to try and "taste" the salted egg in your mind. The sweet potato were indeed twice fried and soggy.

 Thick cut fries with red aioli sauce. The spam fries were very dry but the aioli sauce was it's saving grace. I loved the sauce.

 Seared marbled striploin (180gm) served pink, wet orzo rice. Fried runny egg with sweet sour ginger, furikake and scallions. The beef was very juicy and pink indeed. I loved the runny egg along with the rice. The rice was very different from the typical rice that you and I would normally consume. Atas rice is what I could call it.

All in all, I would say, this was a very depressing visit to Sin Lee. The beef and grains is probably the only dish I liked and that was alot of money. The ambience was okay. The area is so small that you can see the chef cooking!

Located under a rather old block of HDB flat, the cafe used to be a coffeeshop with hawker serving prawn mee. The cafe still kept the original signage. The cafe is about 10-15 minutes walk from the nearest MRT station.One can dine indoor with aircon or outdoor al fresco with the natural air around.

The place could be quite packed. Don't be surprised if been told that have to wait an hour for the food to arrive. The indoor dine in area looks unfurnished with cement bench by the rough red brick wall.

 Menu is a simple black and white 3-pages on clip board. The papers look a bit worn off from overused.

 Salted Egg Sweet Potato Fries ($12)
Twice Fried Sweet Potato Fries, House Made Salted Duck's Egg Sauce, Crispy Curry Leaves
This one of the most instagrammed dish from the cafe. It normally served with the sauce on top of the fries. But as little JJ likes his fries plain, I decide to request for sauce to be served separated. An hour wait for this dish, as the staff has missed out on the special request and has to remake another serving. Little JJ does not take to the fries. The fries tastes a bit heavy on oil side and not crispy enough.

Pan Roasted Bacon & Potato Hash, Cold Smoked Norwegian Salmon, Soft Centred Free Range Hen's Egg, HouseMade Pesto, Baby Spinach & Freshly Grated Parmesan
It tastes not bad at first with the well poached egg in this deconstructed dish. But it gets a bit salty when one has more of it.

 Honey Toast Tower (Great For Sharing) ($18)
Vanilla Infused Toast, Nata De Coco, Fruity Peddles, Market Fruits, Marshmallow Creme, Honey, Coconut & Chocolate Gelato
It looks great when served. But the 2 scoops of gelato on top of the tower toppled over onto the table before I could even take a picture of it.
The similar thing happens when it is served the second time, but not as bad. A chunk of gelato falls onto the plate after I have taken the first picture.
The colorful cornflakes looks great but tastes quite sweet on its own. The cubes of toast are a bit dry and hard in texture. Need to soak in the melted gelato to soften the cubes. Overall this dessert could get a bit too sweet.

 Coconut Slushie ($9)
Coconut Jelly, Toasted Coconut Flakes
The drink is rich and creamy, although I wish it could be colder as the weather is quite warm when I have it. Some may feel that it is too milky. The coconut jelly is actually red colored nata de coco.

Overall the dishes are a bit disappointing. I feel that the waiting time for the dishes is a bit too long, especially when the crowd is not the overwhemling type with long queue outside. But we are told about the estimated waiting for food while ordering. So it is our choice to continue the order.

 The interior has seating capacity of maybe 15-20. The air conditioning is really strong and I felt kinda cold. We were there at 7pm and we were the only customers. At 8pm on a weekday night, was when customers started strolling in.

 Taking a look at the menu, they don't offer the typical cafe food. Thank God! ANTI-HIPSTER ALERT! But chicken and waffles is their specicality!

 Ok so, everything in Singapore tastes well with salted egg now! Even sweet potato fries! This was the first dish to arrive on the table, and it was the first to be devoured! The sweet potato fries were moist and mushy on the inside and the salted egg sauce added a little oomph to the salty-ness of the sweet potato. A match made in heaven. I strongly advise you to try this dish!

 And after 20 minutes of waiting, here it was!! It definitely took a while for them to make it even though we were the only customers. The chicken was huge and the waffle was very brown, signifying it had been cooked for quite a while in their iron waffle!

 MAPE SYRUP, OH! How I could sing of your joy forever! It made everything on this plate a tad sweet! It wasn't as sweet as the pie crust milkshake, so fret not! It will not ruin the taste of your $9 milkshake.

 The chicken was more like a prawn paste chicken, which smelt kinda strange? I don't know, maybe my senses weren't working too well. The slaw was a nice mix with the waffle and chicken. The waffle itself was so crisp, it was very easy to seperate it into 4 quadrants. The waffle was a little bit sweet too, rather than salty.

But for $21.90 this is on the pricey side!

 I would describe this as an oreo milkshake, whereby you ran out of oreos and substituted the oreos for digestive graham crackers! This is literally what it was! It was very filling, since it was literally a fiber-full drink of digestives. Even at the top of the drink, you can see tons of digestives crumbs!

All in all, my heart has been won over by their salted egg sweet potato fries and I will be back here to try their infamous aburi broccoli!!
