Protractor Clicking a Dropdown issue?

I'm trying to run protractor and a jquery selector is returning an error. But it works on my chrome when i try it on console?

I am trying to select "TestE2E" from dropdown menu.

This is what I Tried:

browser.actions().click($( ".portal-list li a:contains(TestE2E)" )).perform()

I have even tried

elements(By.css('.portal-list li a:contains(TestE2E)').click()

I get this error:

    ✗ Go back to experiences page (0.37 secs)
      - InvalidElementStateError: invalid element state: Failed to execute 'querySelectorAll' on 'Document': '.portal-list li a:contains(TestE2E)' is not a valid selector.
  (Session info: chrome=44.0.2403.130)
  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.10.267517,platform=Mac OS X 10.9.5 x86_64)

How can I fix it? This is my HTML

<div>
<ul><li>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">TestE2E</a>
</li></ul>
</div>

Thanks

How about this instead? 

element(by.cssContainingText('.portal-list li a', 'TestE2E').click()
