Lemongrass

Mmmm... this was really yummy. Lemongrass is a Thai restaurant on Sukhumvit Soi 24. It's full of farangs - probably because the food is very farang-friendly. And the service is also very good - busy but attentive.

We had beef fried with crispy basil - a dry dish and yummily crunchy. We ordered a pomelo salad which was juicy and subtly sour. Best of all - and the menu was very specific about this - 2 prawns and aubergine cooked in a curry sauce. Prawns were very big and cut in half, so if you're easily fooled by these kind of things, it was like having 4 prawns! There was not much curry sauce but enough and it didn't blast your tongue to oblivion but was just spicy enough for bkkmei.

We finished off with fried banana. Good - next time we'll have it with icecream.

As they say in the guides: 'booking advised'.
