Tired of crap service ? i was, and not a spec of it was found at Lemon Leaf on this occasion. promptly greeted at the door seated and served, Lemon Leaf provided a warm and elegant ambiance with the speed your local take away shop, nice one guys! fast food without the junk. To cover all bases as we always do we chose the duck salad, green chicken curry, roti bread, fried whole barramundi in hot and sour dressing... call it what you like it was sweet and sour and yes I'm ashamed but it worked well with the fried fish and was good value to boot so thumbs up from my end.
salad came out quick smart, in a plentiful mound might i add. thin slices of roasted duck breast was a little over cooked for my liking, however the smokey flavor worked well. the dressing was zesty and sweet a perfect balance of Thai flavors.
The fried barramundi golden and crispy, it was drenched in a ruby red sauce with plump gems of peas and corn to add to the crazy train. it had to of been the strangest sauces i've eaten in a donky while. weird and wonderful so i guess there was no harm in adding vegetables! there were tons of bold flavors at the table, the rich green curry toned the madness down a notch.
The curry itself wasn't as fragrant which was disappointing and could of done with 1-2 more minutes on the heat would of served justice to the vegetables in the curry. Battens of green and red capsicum, bamboo and green beans added color and crunch. chicken was cooked perfectly, and we moped the pale green slush with crispy folds of roti bread.
By the end we were stuffed! not another bite could be had and we even had some curry to take home. Paying the bill was the ending to every eating adventure, and can sometimes be a nasty thing. So it was a nice surprise to have been given a voucher for ten dollars, for our next visit. Lemon leaf provides a twist Thai cuisine in unctuous surroundings, tall ceilings and a glass wine cellar on display. The food well balanced but ordinary, well executed by staff who were polite and gentle. Don't be fooled by the rabbit! its timid but quick, the staff were delightful and we were well looked after. Its the little things that count and its what people remember.
