A Thai Hot Karl should work

[mikeyis4dcats.]

every Thai place I've been to you have the following options

Mild (+)
Medium (+)
Hot (+)
Thai Hot

(+) meaning you want it a little hotter than Mild/Medium/Hot, but not to the next step


Pad Thai is the California Roll of Thai food.

This. Or, of course, the minus option as well.

I think it varies from place to place.
One place I go, a '5' (or medium) is ****ing super hot. Good, but hot. I LOVE spicy food.

Other places, I've asked for Hot and it comes out with hardly any kick.

Once I found a place I really liked, I stick with them so I know what to expect.

As for branching out from the Pad Thai:

Tom Ka Tofu (or Tom Ka Gai if you want chicken) is awesome shit. Seriously. It's like the best soup flavor combination in existence. It's also usually one of the best values on the menu, as it's usually priced like an appetizer but can easily be eaten as an entree with rice.

If you really like the flavor of Pad Thai and want to branch out a bit with a few more vegetables: Pad See Eeu.

All curries are awesome and worth trying: red, green, massaman, panang.

I want to branch out, but Pad Thai is so good.

Thai Hot. "Thai Spicy" just sounds stupid. Don't allow the restaurant people think you're stupid.

It is referred to many ways -

Native

Thai Hot

Thai Spicy



Just because you only know of one way to do something , dont assume thats the only way....Much like you think "sex" is getting rammed by several guys , one after the other, using huge butt plugs.....There are other ways to do things.

ya good post. tom ka gai is a coconut based soup that has some herbs that are not meant to be eaten and it can be very spicy. I'll hit that stuff when I feel a cold/flu coming on.

for those of you that may be visiting Los Angeles, Torung is popular spot among entertainment industry circles and has been doin' it right a very long time;

I had some shit I couldn't pronounce that had squid in it, and a hint of star anise flavor in an almost black sauce, with green onions, and red and green peppers. It had the word Phet in it, but I can't remember what it was called. it was killer, and very spicy.

Massaman chicken is my go-to for Thai.

That's my favorite. I ordered it the first time I met my in-laws in Thailand. As it turns out, it's considered "peasant food" over there But its definitely good stuff.
