“Thai Curries” Cedar Park, 2022

A new Thai restaurant named Lemongrass opened recently near us, and I saw that you can choose the spiciness level from 1-10. This got me excited because with a scale like that, it must mean they are serious about the level of heat, right? And since CoCo Ichibanya also has a 1-10 scale, it would be fun to compare.

With that in mind, I went ahead and ordered a level 10 Panang Curry, and Bay ordered a level Green Curry. Both were delicious! But, I am sorry to report that the spiciness level was a bit too mild for me. The level 10 was probably equal to a 5 or 6 at CoCo. 😒

Oh well, the curries were really good, nonetheless, and the rest of the menu looks great as well. I can’t wait to try more dishes from Lemongrass!

I love snacking on homemade baguettes and this vegan butter spread from Miyoko’s Creamery. It’s delicious!

We enjoyed dinner at our friend’s restaurant the other night. We mostly stuck to nigiri sushi because it is awesome, but I couldn’t resist ordering the shishamo. It was yummy!

BTW, Shishamo is also the name of the greatest 3-member all-girl band in the world. 😆 Check them out!

“Honey Pig” Austin, 2022

Honey Pig Korean BBQ just opened for business in Austin! We made it for lunch on day 2 of their soft opening, and enjoyed the lunch special which had a ton of food! It was more than the two of us could finish, so leftovers were brought home for another meal. 😀

The restaurant is fun and cool, with large TVs showing Kpop videos, and plenty of space for a nice distance between tables. The meat in the lunch special was pretty good, and I imagine the higher-priced meats would be excellent. Maybe next time (I’m sure we’ll be back) we’ll try some of the premium cuts and also some seafood dishes.
