Date Night!

//  by Elisabeth McKnight//  7 Comments

 With all the crazy of the past month I haven’t been so good at documenting the little time I’ve gotten to spend with Ben but we’ve been pretty good at date night lately. I’ve had a goal of eating at only local restaurants (no chains) and while we haven’t been perfect, we’ve discovered a few new favorites.

Last Friday we had Thai for the first time since moving to Ohio and we loved Zab Thai Kitchen with its modern flair and classic options. We started with spring rolls (which Ben usually doesn’t like and he loved them) and followed them with our standard Red Curry and Pad Thai. We’ve ordered the same thing at Thai restaurants for over two years – its probably time to start branching out.

What are your favorite Thai dishes?

Contrary to our usual Thai dining practices, we ordered dessert! This place had a few traditional dessert options along with an assortment of macarons. Macarons at a Thai restaurant you ask? I was skeptical at first too, but Ben’s never had one, and they were only $1.25 so we took the chance. They’re certainly no Lauderee macarons but I loved the raspberry rose water combination.



^^I loved the lighting!

^^My Pad Thai had the perfect amount of spice. Usually I end up wishing I’d told them to go spicier.

^Raspberry and Rose Water Macaron (and I think Ben got vanilla?)

^We snapped some pictures for this post on our way home. I love my little photographer and his seer sucker pants (remember the matching jacket he wore here?). 
If you’re in the Cincinnati area, Zab is a great choice. We haven’t been anywhere else, but we’ll keep you updated on local Thai options 🙂

    I always get chicken satay with peanut sauce when I get Thai. It's just an appetizer usually but you can order a double plate and have it as a main course. Even better, at my birthday dinner the place my friends took me too offered a sampler plate and you could get three or four appetizers, so I got chicken satay and got to try a couple others too! –emily

    We have the same rule for our eating out adventures – no chains, and nothing we could find anywhere else! I feel like it's added so much to our dining experiences. And I need to try red curry but if you can find a place with pineapple curry, you should definitely try it out. Also that blue is a great color on you!
