Eating Out at Lemongrass Asian Bistro

Lemongrass Asian Bistro opened in the Philippines February of last year. It was brought here by the same people behind Pho Hoa. Their food ranges from Chinese to Japanese to Korean cuisine. The restaurant is located at Upper Ground level of Shangri-la Mall at the back of Zara and in front of Mercury Drug and Mrs. Fields. The place is painted with a combination of white and bright green so its impossible that you will not see it. The place was not large but I cannot say that its small. The ambiance of the place was very homely. 

The staff are very accommodating. Once we were seated they handed to us the menu. The food on their menu has codes. For our appetizer we ordered Unagi Maki. Then for our main course we chose Crispy Fish Fillet with Tamarind and Sweet and Chili Sauces, Lemongrass Pork Riblets with Honey Garlic Sauce, Sauteed String Beans with Onions, Mushroom & Vegetables and Bagoong Rice. I love their Bagoong Rice beacuse its not too oily and salty. The mixture of the green Mango and Bagoong on the rice is just right. We also tried their Crunchy Wasabi Tuna Salad which I really liked. I thought that it would be spicy but its not. It just have the right tangy taste. Most of the food are for group sharing and is good for 4 to 6 persons. They have a generous serving of the foods, we even had a hard time to finish the food.

A must try is their signature Lemongrass Tea and Fruity Lemongrass Tea. The difference of the two teas is that the first is cold while the other is served hot. Their teas have of course, lemon grass and other different fruit.

For our dessert we ordered Sticky Rice with Mango and Ice Cream and Thai Tago with Water Chestnuts. The Sticky Rice has fresh Cow's Milk in it and the waiter even gave us an extra cup of the milk.
