...uber-spicy Ka-Prao ($8.95), which consists of sautéed ground meat served in Thai-style “hot basil” chili sauce. If you enjoy breathing fire, the Yum-Nuah Spicy Beef Salad ($8.95), grilled sliced beef mixed with chili paste, cucumbers, tomatoes, mushrooms, lemongrass and a lime juice dressing, is another spicy option. For the more mild of taste, however, stick to the less seasoned house specialties such as “Chicken in Love” ($6.95), deep-fried chicken on a bed of lettuce, topped with whole peanuts and peanut sauce. Love, after...
What most sets H-E-B apart is its canny customization of stores. At the H-E-B in Houston's Alief section, live tilapia and catfish swim in a tank in the seafood department, and fresh lemongrass and rambutan are stacked in the produce aisle--all favorites of Alief's large Asian community. In San Antonio's Deco-District there are fresh-baked pan dulce and nopalitos, an edible part of a cactus plant, for the area's many Hispanic shoppers. And in Houston's Westchase H-E-B, Indian shoppers can pick up aromatic ajwain and black mustard...
Tiger Tears with Spicy Sauce is an extraordinary dish.

(A sample menu: fillet of salmon with soy sauce, rice-wine vinegar and lemongrass, baked in parchment paper and served with rice pilaf...
...which of these two cases applies to Spice, which boasts “fine Thai cuisine” on Holyoke Street? Adaptation, or simply fraudulence? Real Thai food, to my mind, is a harsh taskmaster, intransigently fiery and torrid, laced with demanding, domineering accents—lemongrass, basil, shallots. I didn’t expect the typical American palate to be able to hold up against the full assault. There was clearly going to have to be some compromise. Not that this was necessarily a bad thing, of course. I have vivid memories of nasal-laryngeal conflagrations brought about...
