12-26-10\n\nBy the time I knew it , Christmas day was over and I was craving  Thai food.  My husband knew I can't last more than three days without it.  So we started searching for a Thai restaurant and Malee's Thai came up.  It was close to our hotel as I discovered, the owner is an American woman.  I was so excited to find out how she did it.\n\nUpon entering the restaurant, it took awhile for the hosts to come out and seat us.  The restaurant has nice simple decor, casual elegant more than most Thai restaurant.\n\nAbout the food:  We order dumplings, soft shell crab, and crab Rangoon. \nI thought the dipping sauce was very good.  My husband thought it was so-so.  I order crispy chicken with garlic and basil , with steamed rice.  The sauce in chicken was very unique.  I liked it.  \n\nI would put her restaurant into Asian Fusion category.  Much, much better  than PF Chang!!\n\nOverall Malee's Thai was a pleasant dining experience.  We will come back if we are in the area and try some other dishes.
