Lemon Grass (Clive)

So since Clif was up here to do some server work here in Des Moines, We headed over to Clive to go to Lemon Grass.

First we drove past it, since it is hiding a bit away from the road, but after a quick call to my boss, we turned around and found it.

Simple decor, and place settings. Quick, friendly service. We started off with two orders of crab rangoon and an order of curry puffs. The crab rangoon were fantastic, but I liked the curry puffs better. The crab rangoons were crispy on the outside and creaming and a bit spicy on the inside with little bits of crab. The curry puffs had a similar crust on the outside, with some meat and peas, carrots, onions and potatoes. Quite the combination.

For dinner, Clif had Adventurous (spice level) Larb (I think), I had Medium Panang Curry and Shannon had Mild Pud Kee Mao. Clif liked it, and so did I with my small little taste, however as he ate it more, he decided it had way to much cilantro. His palette is a bit odd... Anyways, our server noticed and actually didn't want him to go away unhappy, so they gave him a new order of the Lemon Grass...without an extra charge. Quite nice. The Lemon Grass was good too, quite good. My curry had a wonderful smell and texture, and Shannon's noodle dish was fantastic.

Anyways...good stuffs, going to have to go again, without a doubt.
