Had dinner at Green Lemongrass with my Condiments dodgeball team before the last night of league play before playoffs. Awwwww maaan I don’t even know where to start here. This food was so. damned. GOOD. I just can’t remember what they’re called on the menu anymore.
The map is old, but Green Lemongrass now occupies the spot where you see the Vietnamese Food awning.
Just know that Green Lemongrass (be it the original Richmond location or this Kingsway one) is a good bet for quality Vietnamese food and some more unique items. Below is grilled chicken satay with vermicelli.
The above is kind of typical and boring, and this is what Jeff had insisted I order instead. Prawn brochette on sugar cane. With little rice vermicelli wraps (which I will now call pancakes) and a buttload of vegetables/herbs as well. Oh and the requisite fish saaaaauce.
Some serious rabbit food here with all these vegetables and herbs. Some of these I haven’t even seen before let alone know the name of.. delicious!
Pick up a skewer, wrap it in the rice vermicelli pancake, then further envelop it with some lettuce and herbs. Dip in fish sauce. You may or may not include the sugar cane…I did cause I wanted to suck it dry for the sweet sugar cane juice.
The other offering of this plate is with a Vietnamese pork sausage patty type skewer. With charcoal-y grill marks and a sweet honey taste to them, these were killer.
