islander wrote: One of my favorite Thai places here, has what I call the random scale. They ask you 1-5 for how hot you want it, they then proceed to make whatever they want and serve it to you. I've had 5s that didn't even make me reach for the drink, and I've had 1s that I couldn't finish. I have noted that with the chili oil dishes, they seem to increase in hotness by a level or two when stored in the fridge overnight. So that 3 you had last night will be a solid 4+ for lunch the next day.
there needs to be some sort of reference might be a good idea to put a scale on the menu (in small print)
