Grrl Power #28 – Go go Tiger Mom!
You know this happens. If you’re white and you ask for the hottest thing they’ve got at an Indian or a Thai place or something, you don’t get the hottest thing they’ve got. Unless you go there with a friend of the matching ethnicity and he orders for you or you’ve been there enough times that you’re a regular and have sent back food that wasn’t hot enough.
Also, apparently that’s how you write 5 in Thai, at least according to google. I probably drew it wrong but my excuse is that most people have pretty bad handwriting. You’d think that in Asian languages, where a mark here or there can change the meaning of a word, everyone would have fantastic penmanship but that is not the case at all. Some of it is so bad that it makes stuff almost totally illegible out of context.
I loooove the Doom Cloud over the food.
Pretty sure that was a damned spirit.
So happy. I officially got told by a staff member at the Thai place I frequent that I must be part Thai because I eat the food even hotter than he does. GWAHAHAHAH
Sydney is my spirit animal. I like to eat the hottest chili sauce that you can get here (57% Trinidad Scorpion) while my family thinks that jalapenos are too hot to be edible.
Pretty sure that was a damned spirit.
Ah little spice ghost be contained by magic talisman runes around table edge
This is my 8th time reading through this and I only just noticed the runes around the table. Thank you for pointing it out. Makes this so much funnier now :D
It’s true that sometimes when people of a different ethnicity order food at a restaurant, they may not get the spiciest version of the dish
That’s right, in Thailand they think that egg-skinned people can’t eat spicy food. When you want to eat spicy food, you should go with a local friend. You can search for places with delicious food on, it won’t work. you are disappointed
Conversely, if say, your boss Mr. Subramaniam takes you to his favorite Kuala Lumpur hole-in-the-wall and orders curry, you should order a glass of milk along with it…unless you are absolutely sure you can keep up.
