Joy Luck Moon ....... Is It All That??

It was friday,and I had rapturously found out that my summer vacation had been extended till the 11th. In the manner of celebrating,my mom and I dragged ourselves out of the house and to Select Citywalk in Saket. After having had only a strawberry yogurt for breakfast I was ravenously hungry by the time we reached the restraunt in question..... Joy Luck Moon. The dining area was small and cosy and the whole room was decorated in red and black. The staff was reasonably friendly,and the food arrived fast. Our starter was a thai lemon grass salad with prawn. The spicyness of the dressing and the sharp taste of the lemon grass balanced the flavours well, though it made my eyes water with the heat of the dish. The prawns did not look like normal prawns,as they were a bit disfigured but exeedingly juicy and succulent. We were leaning towards thai cuisine and so our main course consisted of a thai green chicken curry,schezwan prawn with green onion and chilli and a bowl of sticky rice.The green curry both looked and tasted dissapointing as the  curry was not altogether green but more of a grayish colour and  the flavours were subtle, too subtle in my opinion. The schezwan prawns were a bit better as the prawns were big and tasty . The semi curry was like any schezwan I have tasted and was nothing worth mentioning. Overall I think the salad was the highlight of our meal and I highly recommend it .
Next week( if I can convince my parents) I will be dining at Setz, that gloriously high profile restraunt where I once happened to glimpse Karan Johar across the crowded room. Now THAT was a meal to remember!
