Lee's Cuisine is run by the Lee family
and boasts food from their native Hunan province. Some
might wonder what exactly Hunan cuisine tastes like.
Well, according to the owner's wife, Hunan dishes are
mostly tangy, salty and spicy. Since their recent opening,
the Lees have decided to indulge their customers' requests
and not only serve Hunan flavors, but also dishes of
all kinds.
At Lee's the specialty is beef. There
are seven kinds of beef dishes, starting at NT$80 each.
Their Hunan Raw Beef (NT$260) is thin slices of fillet
beef that are marinated with onions, creating a sweet
flavor on your palate. You can dip the beef into their
two specially-made Hunan sauces—one is mustard-flavored,
the other is mild. Water Boiled Beef (NT$220) uses soy
bean sprouts and beef and has a refreshing taste. Chili
Pepper Beef (NT$220) is a mild, appetizing dish. Since
the chili peppers have already been diced and the seeds
have been removed, you hardly notice how spicy it is.
Apart from these delicious beef dishes,
you can also try Lee's Roast Leg of Lamb (NT$220)—this
is one dish that has always been a hit at Lee's Cuisine.
Its unforgettable taste comes with no offensive smell
and is accompanied by bean sauce, so patrons can enjoy
a different flavor of lamb. Another dish worth trying
is Fish with Hot Bean Sauce (NT$300). This large, fresh
fish comes with tender duck's blood cake. Although Lee's
Cuisine does not serve any pork dishes, they do offer
pork intestines for anyone eager to try. The casserole,
hot pot and soup selections at Lee's are also definitely
worth your time. A round of table dishes start at NT$3,500
and includes seven courses, one casserole dish, as well
as desserts and fruits.
