 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!
