Hi Mylotters! I am here at work waiting for my last client for today. I am alone in our room where we can do what we want for our free time. It is near the reception as I have to accept calls for appointment and give appointment to clients. While mylotting here, I saw the lunch box of my Thai workmate on the table. She told me to eat some of her food but I am not hungry as I have eaten my lunch already. I was so curious what she brought for her lunch and so I opened the tupperware. It is the glass noodle salad that I love to eat. I tried a tablespoon of it. It was so delicious but it was so hot. I am sure she put around 20 pieces of chilies again. Now my tongue and lips are burning. It is still bearable for me. I could have eaten more but I know it will not do me good. How hot can you handle hot food? Have you eaten Thai food? Anyway, I hope you are all fine. I am. Sorry for not being here often. I was traveling again.

From your title I thought that for "hot" you intended the temperature. I have eaten Thai food and I like a lot, sometimes it's really spicy.

@thelme55 Thai food can be very hot, but I like it. My husband can heat hotter than I can.

@LadyDuck Really? That sounds great. Most of the Thais I know are slim. Maybe it is their hot and spicy food that keeps them slim.

They call our food spicy or pungent. But I have tried the French decorative chillies. By god, 1 chillie would be enough for an entire week..even touching it gives fingers some burning sensation for long time.

I dont like hot food, i find that it takes away from the foods flavor. I only like a little bit of chilli.

I think you are right @Plethos. Whenever I have eaten a hot and spicy food, I was only concentrated on the hotness of the food but not how it tasted.

I love spicy foods but I cannot eat too hot foods. They burn in my mouth. Just a bit more than the moderately spicy food is okay with me.

I have been living in Thailand for years now and still can't be accustomed of their super spicy food. I have to say not spicy but still it will end up a bit spicy... if I say little spicy only it will be super spicy. for them spicy food is the best, it is delicious. not spicy = bland taste.

I know what you mean @Mavic123456. I work with Thais and they bring their hot and spicy food at work and they let me try it. They keep on laughing seeing my face when I tried their food.

I like to eat hot spicy food but prefer a moderate "heat" where chilies are concern.

Sometimes I add a bit of hot pepper to my food, but I cannot enjoy it if the food is too hot - in my opinion it detracts from the real taste of the food.

@thelme55 I agree, Thelma. Sometimes too when it is too spicy, I am unable to taste the real taste of the food because the spiciness overrules everything.

@mlgen1037 so true. Because the food is too hot, my concentration was how to get rid of the hotness in my mouth. Drinking water is not good as it would make it more hot.

Yes, the red pieces are chilies. It is bihon. The Thais use bihon for their noodle salad @hereandthere.

@thelme55 I like spicey food. I went and got someone once and ask for the spicy sauce. When i ate it I told him that is not spicy. He probably thought I could not handle and was not expecting that it is not spicy.
