Restaurant review: Lee Lounge
And the blast of Motown that greets us. Hard to hear the hostess. It isn’t until we’re seated at a table that we realize we could have taken a sofa and enjoyed the $29 plate of Susur’s favourite bites — among them Hunan chicken wings and Chinese doughnut fritters. This is what we originally planned. But now we’re here, we realize the bites are for the partiers. The main event for diners is the reinvigorated Lee menu. Right next door, Lee is the stable hub of Susur’s empire, which now stretches from New York’s Shang to Washington, D.C.’s Zentan to Chinois in Singapore. It has a symbiotic relationship with Lee Lounge, one flowing into the other through a wide door.Did I say menu? Make that menus. I think Lee is the first local restaurant to make a direct appeal to the allergy-afflicted — a fast-growing population of diners. Prescient. Lee has special menus for a handful allergies: nut, shellfish and gluten (celiac disease) dishes plucked from the main menu. The star Singaporean-style slaw ($19; allergy-free) is there but we want Susur’s new dishes — those created for Chinois, Susur fans being a little miffed that the master is half a world away cooking the food we want to eat. We yearn to taste steamed eggplant roulade, eggplant strips sprinkled with Bonito flakes and flash-fried preserved vegetables, but it isn’t on the menu. We settle for the quirky cheeseburger spring roll (nut-allergy menu). Spicy ground beef and cheddar with smoked chili mayo as a crisp roll wrapped in a big lettuce leaf ($7). Chunks of pork tenderloin ($29) come in a sauce that could be sourer and sweeter. But the Top Chef-winning dish is a keeper. Green curry chicken (gluten-free), breast draped in butter almondine, poised on patties of sweet pea polenta, spiked with spicy tomato jam, chili mint chutney and the inspissating sweetness of dehydrated pineapple ($28). Susur once again displays his superlative skill at weaving palate-pleasing flavours.
