Spicy is yummy!

When I was still a newbie on Thai food, I try to be cautious with my choices especially if I see lots of chilies on the dish. I appreciate spicy food but not as spicy as what the Thais usually serve. They would tell you “Mai phet, mai arroy” which means if it’s not spicy, it’s not tasty or delicious. So, if you’ll be dropping by this land famous for its hot and spicy cuisine, just be sure to tell the waiter “Mai phet” (not spicy) or “Mai sai prik” (don’t put chili) if you can’t stand eating a spicy dish. And don’t forget to say “Arroy maak!” (tastes very good) if you find the dish yummy.
