Sir SuziQ (my hubby) LOVES Thai food. He usually tells the folks to make it even hotter than the menu indicates. If it doesn't make his nose run, it's not hot enough!
My philosophy exactly! :) I've noticed that some restaurants will dilute the "hot" from what they'd serve a native Thai if you're not Thai--I guess they think non-Thais can't handle it--so I always make sure to emphasize that I've eaten it before and I want it really hot :)
