Lemongrass


I visited Lemongrass at Square One, Mississauga on Sunday evening with my Mother.  The one thing about going to a restaurant with my mom, is that she has a really good taste for food.  She can tell if the oil was old, and many things like that, of which I would be clueless about.   So, on our adventure at Lemongrass yesterday, my mom complained that the food was too cold.   She likes it steaming hot but it was lukewarm.   On top of that, half of it was warm, and the other half was cold.  This indicates that the food was MICROWAVED!!!    I convinced my mom to ask them to warm it for her.   She didn't want to, but I knew she wouldn't enjoy it lukewarm/cold, so eventually she did ask.   It is pretty disappointing to go out for dinner, and have microwaved chinese food!    I guess it must be true, that a lot of places may not make food fresh, but I guess I just don't want to know about it.  

Regardless, I enjoyed the food.  Its not the best I've had, but its definitely not the worst.   Funny thing though, eating the Sinagpore Vermicelli leftovers today, it tasted way better today than it did yesterday!  Oh, maybe it is because a bit of the Lemongrass chicken was mixed into it.
