Lemon Grass - Thai Restaurant


We took the opportunity to go out to dinner while we had grandparents around to babysit, and went to this restaurant. We have not had proper Thai for so long... so long. I could have happily ordered the entire menu.
What we ended up getting:
Spring Rolls and some sort of steamed pork dumpling for starters (entree)
Panang curry and Duck salad (bits of duck deep fried and put on a bed of greens of some sort with a hot chilli sauce? The duck was cold, and awesome.) for entree (mains), with steamed rice.
I had a Lemon Grass Mojito (with Bacardi light rum, mint, ginger, lime juice, and I think that was all) and Steve had a Thai beer of some sort.
My only reservations - I reserved a table for 7.30 pm, and when we arrived at 7.30 pm, the place was packed with the early diners, and no table was reserved. We got drinks and sat outside until a table came free, which was about 15 mins.
It is a small restaurant, although they have opened a second restaurant somewhere else, probably not more than cafe size. They have tables outside, and a pretty generous veggie patch where they evidently grow their own herbs and possibly other stuff. Service was quick and knowledgable.
We were very happy. I had to restrain myself from closing my eyes and mmming after every mouthful! In fact, that is why the photo is half way through, because I forgot.

  1. Missing good Thai even at Moorebank! Did travel back to Sutherland for Darren's birthday last week, just for Thai we like!

  2. Good point - I don't think we had eaten thai since moving from Sutherland... Which would make it about 3-4 years for us?!
