Determine what their system is for ordering 'heat'. Some have a one
to five star system, some a one to three, and SOME also have a "no
start" designation, so be sure to find out first. I have learned that
they do understand the word "mild" which is usually about as hot as I
can stand.

I usually go for any type of chicken curry, and like to specify
pineapple be in it, even if it adds to the price. A halved pineapple
stuffed with just about anything is heaven for me.

A garlic red snapper is usually excellent to try.
