Back from lunch...I had a vietnamese hot and sour soup called Canh Chua Ga...chicken cooked w/mushrooms, celery, bean sprouts, tomatoes, cabbage, pineapple, okra and lemon grass, topped with cinnamon basil and chili pepper and served with a side plate of steamed rice.
Had I but known from the "spicy" notation that it meant "five-alarm conflagration", I would have ordered something else.
It was very good...but very hot...and I won't have it again.
But I will recommend it to some folks who I know have the palates for hot stuff.
