The rows of red lanterns will catch any food hunter's attention at JEM... yes it's Lee's Taiwanese! I've always been curious about how Lee's Taiwanese would fare since there are many Taiwanese shops in Singapore that failed to match up to the real McCoy. Curiosity always warrants a trip down to try it for myself. Upon seeing the menu, I knew the prices here wayyy higher than what I'm willing to pay, especially since Taiwan food is always good AND cheap. Well, let's see what they can offer! These
These peanuts are part of the appetizer, usually I'll ignore them but upon trying (because I was starving) - they are interestingly sweet and addictive. The portion is ridiculously small though.
6pcs Taiwanese Mini Sausage ($6.90)Tasty and slightly salted, not bad, but can't really go wrong with this.
Salt & Pepper Chicken ($6.90)I enjoyed this more than the mini sausages, it is extremely well-flavoured and reminds me a bit of Shihlin's TW Street snacks... unfortunately I think Shihlin could do it similarly well at a lower price.
Braised Minced Pork Rice ($10)Somewhat similar to the real thing, but still quite a distance away from perfection. The braised pork is soft and tender enough for me, but the tofu is a bit hard. The cucumber is a lovely touch to it all because it was getting a little dry and the cucumber provided some moisture.
The service was a little less than satisfactory though, because the menu was a little confusing to understand but they did not really bother to explain to us much.
