Just ask for Thai level of normal spicy and your asshole will burn for a week. When you ask for spicy and you are a non-thai they just skip spicy all together. If you feel spiciness that’s from previous meal and it survived washing the plate.
lol the way you make pad thai spicy is with ground chili flakes on the side. Then you add as much as you want.
“Like you would make it for your grandma” usually works for me. But not if it’s the whole order, only if I am trying to get one item really spicy.
Once at an Indian buffet, the owner had okra out & I was so happy, love okra but he kept warning me off it - “no, no, it’s spicy” and I was like “Great!” and he would say “no, no, I mean it’s spicy” he really was worried.
Nope. It was not. Like, some perceptible heat, sure. But nothing anyone would consider too spicy. Like medium taco bell packet of hot sauce spicy. I was so disappointed after all the warnings!
Was it spicy?
