I have no ideas about frozen lemongrass - I've always thought that it lost its flavor quickly when frozen.

 

Me neither. I'd be very surprised if it's ever frozen in SE Asia.

One thing I will say though is that fresh lemongrass is very different from what I get in the store.

 

Absolutely. Same here even though we're only a stone's throw from Vietnam. I did grow it but haven't done since I moved house. Must restart. 

 

The best I've had in China was in an Indonesian style restaurant in Nanning where they used it as skewers for grilled chicken. Really flavoured the bird  meat. They grew it and other herbal exotica in the restaurant garden which you were encouraged to visit.
