I am a big believer in trying new things. I love to try new places to eat and to try new things on different menus. My parents told me that they had a new place for us to try out for dinner:
I have always been a fan of Thai food. My parents never wanted to try out any Thai restaurants with me in high school. Whenever we went out for family dinners I wanted Thai, but no one else did. When they suggested this Thai restaurant tonight I was very surprised and excited. Apparently they went here with some friends and loved it. I was hoping to love it too!
Cee’s is a cute little restaurant off Fairfax Boulevard. 
I loved all the detail as soon as I sat down. Check out these cute plates. I want them in my apartment! 
As soon as we sat down, we ordered drinks! I got a Pinot Noir, my dad got a Thai beer and my mom got a lychee martini
Cheers to mama, papa and daughta!
Say hello to my mom and dad blog world! I think this is their first official blog picture! 
And here I am! Their favorite (only) daugther!
Cheers to a weekend at home with the ‘rents!
My mom and I were practicing out wedding smiles today. She told me that when you say “Prune” you naturally smile.
Here I am mid- “prune” – try it, it works! 
The happy family, minus brother and fiancé (and the dogs!) – ok we are missing many parts of our family, but this is dad with the girls!
On to dinner! We started off with Paper Moons – which are crab filled won-tons! They were delish! 
Then we all split some chicken satay and jacketed shrimp.
They we split Pad Himmapan – Sliced chicken sautéed stir fried with cashew nut, onion, bell pepper and carrot.
We also had the Panang – chicken cooked in panang curry paste with
coconut milk and basil leaves.
Both dishes were awesome, but they also were FIREY HOT! They were burning my face off! I love a spicy dish, but these were crazy hot. The food was awesome, but next time we come back I have to ask them to tone down my plates a tiny bit. I thought I could handle the spice, but I was wrong.
Can you handle spicy dishes?
For dessert we had my favorite Thai dish – mango and sticky rice. This stuff rocks my socks off.
Have you ever tried this dish?
I love me some Thai food! Yummers!

I love Thai food…and wine 🙂 I also love the pictures of your mum and dad. This is just such a great post, Leslie. It is going to make Jimmy very hungry – I see Thai in my future tonite. I sent you a little sunshine on my (our) blog today 🙂
thanks for the review – i've been wanting to try it – looks yummy and looks like it will live up to Tara Thai's rep 🙂
i'm prob 15 mins from there
I love Thai food. I was first introduced to it while visiting a friend when I was 14. I was hooked. I actually developed more of a tolerance for heat because I wanted to be able to try more Thai dishes. I'm now in the medium range for heat tolerance but it means I can now eat most things Thai. Yum – my favorites ate curries, an eggplant-green bean dish, and praram – love spinach with peanut sauce!
Now I want Thai food!!
wish you had time to meet up while you were in town!
Cee's I think is better than Tara Thai – been to both and prefer Cee;s. Friends who have lived in Thailand said that the food is very authentic. Looks like you have enjoyed your weekend at home.
