The first thing I noticed when I entered Lee's Lotus was the aroma of kerosene. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive blue and terra cotta decor. We were greeted and seated in the Biscuit Room, an awful room decorated with numerous darts and flaky pianos. Our waitress, whose name was Krystal, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is extensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were chocolate-covered ants, beef bouillon, sushi, and spaghetti. I decided to order Mulligan stew De-Moleque and my companion, Michaelangelo, ordered Duck a l'orange Lorraine. Krystal seemed friendly as she brought in our orders about forty-six minutes later. I had a plate of shrimp on the side, and Michaelangelo had a bowl of ramen noodles. A double latte was a perfect complement for my mulligan stew.
The Mulligan stew was cotton but a bit waxy. The common way to cook with onion is to toast first, but our chef chooses to marinate, then blend it into the mulligan stew. Michaelangelo thought the duck a l'orange seemed a bit big, but said he would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about thirty-six dollars, which I think is pleasant. Overall, the food was staggering, the atmosphere was unremarkable, and the service was pathetic. If you are a polite person, this might not be the ideal place for you.
