“Short of screaming-hot Thai food, everything can be suitable for kids too.” — Guy Fieri

Fiery Thai cuisine
Tongue lips tingling sensation
Chilies wield their might
Tantalizing the taste buds
Feast for all the five senses

We recently visited a popular Thai restaurant. We ordered several dishes that were served incredibly spicy, especially to my palate, which is not naturally accustomed to such fiery heat.

Thai cuisine is truly a universe of flavors in a dish.

Thank you to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for this food haiku prompt. Here is the link to her mouthwatering food haiku:

I was also inspired by this delicious food haiku by Dr. Fatima Imam.
