Lemongrass

Got take-out from Lemongrass.  We haven't been back since they renovated the shopping center.  Since we were nearby it was a quick jaunt.

I really liked their Thai Tea, it has a real tea flavor to it.  As opposed to the other ones that are made from powder, and you can tell the difference.

Figured we give the Sweet Potato Fries a try.  I do recommend this a side, it's pretty good with and without the sauce.  

The very same sauce appear again for the Plantain Chips.  While the sauce is good, I still prefer the plantain chips with Chimichurri sauce best.

So this is not something you see in a Thai Restaurant.  This is Lemongrass Pizza.  It is on thin crust but not the true flat bread type thin crust.  More like traditional old school thin crust.  It has chicken, tomato, mushroom, but what throws me off is the flavor.  It comes off with a bit of the Tom Yum, spicy and sour nodes, with mozzarella.  As foodie called it the mind-____.  It really messes up with your mind because you really eat with your eyes.  Visually, you see a mozzarella covered pizza with tomato, white sauce base, you are not thinking the flavor will be sharp and sticking out.  I applaud the concept, but will look to going back to the basic.

Order to-go here is the old fashion way, pick up the phone and call.  Give them a 20-30 minutes leeway.  I have started to place an order, and wait for 5 minutes get a drink of water, then head out to pick-up.  If you're out and about, plan ahead.
