I love these Thai dishes:

coconut soup
basil rolls
chicken satay
larb
red curry

Larb and curries can be hot. It depends on the restaurant. You can
ask about the heat level.

My husband loves Pad Thai.

I haven't tried Vietnamese food, but I would _like_ to try bahn mie,
phu, and Vietnamese coffee.
