So sorry for the delay in responding, this one some how slipped by me. Remind me, what part of the world are you in? If you're in the states near a larger city, Trader Joes will have lemon grass, or Whole Foods Markets or your local artsy / fartsy hip grocery store.
I understand with the duck. I've only had it prepared right for me one restaurant, but it was awesome.
Thanks so much for the great commenting @offbeatbroad
No worries!
Yes, I'm in Canada, so there's no Trader Joes, but there's a Whole Foods here. I'm sure I could find it there. We have a really amazing Chinatown here, though, which I feel would be a really reliable place for quality Asian ingredients, without breaking the bank. hahaha
