Lemon Grass@Lygon Street

OK!!!!!!! The purpose of me having to write about Lemon Grass... is that... hm...
................................
How it all started was, 2 of his colleagues... mentioned to us that, this Lemon Grass in Lygon Street... Thai food... was great...
the price was GREAT too.... roughly AUD50 per head... for what?? a glass of alcohol, some satays, some pineapple rice (I really don't know why people like to order pineapple rice in Thai restaurant, instead of real good thai curries and other great dishes) and some other mini-minor small things... and it came out to AUD50 per person... I asked them... why?? why so expensive, cos, the thai restaurants that we've both gone to... no matter how expensive they were, it wouldn't come out to AUD50 per person...
however... they insisted the food was SUPERB... and the way they said and described about this place, was like... the food is just super-duper EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
2 of them said so..

so, on the Melbourne Cup day itself... we decided to try.. since it's festive, since we've waived off the AUD100 entrance fee...

The menu was simple, all the standard stuff was mostly in... however... all the main dishes (for eg. curries) cost AUD25 and above... (now I know why it would come out to AUD50 per person)
We told ourselves... since we came all the way here, in purpose... to see the real truth about Lemon Grass... we must give it a go... even though it's really expensive...
so, we ordered the standard dishes, to try... Green Curry Beef, Tomyam, and one seafood stir-fried... plus one Pad Thai...

Conclusion???????
Green Curry Beef... he took the first bite, and he told me, it's tasteless... (really!! we didn't expect it to be like that) and I tried, to make sure that, he's not being prejudice... however... really... it's a little bit lack of taste... it's SALTY... that's all I can say... cos, when he mentioned tasteless... I thought, it's not salty... ^_^ but, he said, it didn't taste like thai green curry... which was true... this Green Curry Beef didn't taste like any normal green curry that we had ever had before... it just didn't have any curry taste... towards to the end of the meal, I called it beef stew... if it's a beef stew... then, I'd say, the taste is not THAT bad after all... >_<

Stirfried Seafood... mm... just like any normal hawker style stirfried seafood... some hawkers may actually do it better...

Tomyam... of all, I've to say, the Tomyam WAS superb... ONLY THE TOMYAM... it's the best that I have eaten in this town... if not compared to KL's "Jimmy and Nong", or "Ayuthia"
and I told him... next time we should come again, and ONLY order the tomyam, and if the waiter asks us "is that all? not anything else?" then we should say, "ya, that's all... cos, the rest is no good!!"

Then, there's the Pad Thai... OK.. pass... but the portion was really really small... for... like AUD18.90??? it's really day-light-robbery!! ^_^

And the bill is??? ahh... really... just like what his colleagues said!!! >_<
