Thanks to my reno contractor, I have this flexible hose under the sink that slow down the water flowing.

Is the hose the cause of slow flow? Diameter seems to be bigger then standard pipes.

Yeah, a couple of elbows and straight pipes with some PVC glue will settle it. Or get a plumber, it's not that expensive.
Incidentally, that white corrugated pipe will retain some of the dirty stuff that flows down, so prepare for smell and gunk... |

Don't use the flexible hose, it will leaks easily. Change to PVC pipes.

Flexible hose will collect grime and eventually burst/crack
those hoses are for draining washing machine water, not sink change to PVC pipe |
