So spicy was the food, particularly and rather obviously - the tom yum soup (Shioh Shioh!, Hokkien for 'Hot Hot!'), that our salivary and sweat glands started working overtime and many a Orange drank the lime juice, like it was going out of fashion. But the tom yum turned out to be the only thing Thai about the menu. They didn't even have a dessert as synonymous with Thai food like red ruby sago, which we requested, to quell the hot fires emanating from our palates after all that fish head curry, sambal kangkong, claypot curry prawns... I think that all of us who ate can become chilli farmers after today, or even audition for next season's Singapore Idol, as the Spice girls/guys/girlguy. Heheh...
The bill for our two tables amounted to a whopping $340 dollars. But since the Orange is paying for it, what the heck anyway? So hooray for free lunches. No such thing. Remember the fairytale of Hansel and Gretel?

MANUFACTURED IN SINGAPORE for the E.U.

Notice the shock, quell horreur expression on RC's face. Reminds me of a line from the movie, The Corrupter. There's this one scene where Chow Yun Fatt says to Mark Wahlberg, as he's slurping up his pig intestines noodles, "You wanna be Asian, yah gotta eat the nasty stuff." Haha, one man's delicacy is another's barf stuff.
Ah, what a happy family! :)
