The Haleem at Angon if they do it spicy enough (you need to hector em) The steak au poivre at raouls (extra pepper -- it makes your mouth burn and it's SO GOOD) the razor clams with black beans and jalapenos at joe's shanghai. The salsas at Mexicana mama... Oh god -- what a good question. I'd love to hear further input.

Do they still broadcast that show at Xmas time? Fri Nov 12 17:23:53 -0800 2004 1149792 0 Nina W. 1 1149800 Chili Basil Duck at Pam Real Thai, when you ask the waiter to get it "Thai Spicy".

Duk bo kee. It's a Korean dish made with rice pressed into tube shapes in a firey red sauce. Some places make it kinda spicy [Do Hwa; Dae Dong - not on the menu (I think), it comes with the panchan but it's not available all the time], some places make it like fire [Mandoo Bar].

Fri Nov 12 22:26:49 -0800 2004 1149792 0 Donna - MI 1 1149838 i would definitely go with the chongqing style hot pot at grand sichuan. ive only had it at the canal st. location, and it tends to be very good, although the last time i had it it wasnt as spicy as usual. be prepared for a very rough-on-the-stomach 24-hour period immediately after. Sat Nov 13 10:31:26 -0800 2004 1149792 0 chuck 1 1149861 Ma po Tofu at Wu Liang Ye, at any of their locations. ACtually anythign spicy on their menu is really SPICY. It's good though. Sat Nov 13 16:20:57 -0800 2004 1149792 0 SL 2 1150722 Just ordered the ma po tofu at Wu Liang (48th st. branch). It was good, but definitely prefer the szechuan style tofu at Pearl's (7th ave. west side of street b. 48th and 49th streets), a similar dish that is less soupy, and has more flavor picked up by the tofu - plus it's available as a $5-6 lunch special (avail. w/brown rice - also the sweet&sour soup, a component of the lunch special, is a good choice over the egg roll). However my all-time favorite for spicy at Pearl's is the braised beef soup (not the same as the West Lake soup) - when you order it take-out they package the noodles separately and the broth unmitigated is a guaranteed three-sneezer! do not wear a nice shirt while eating this dish (sucking the noodles up, or chopstick errors, can spray chili oil everywhere). If there are any other Pearl people out there, let's try to mount a campaign to get the sichuan peppercorns back in dishes like the double-cooked pork. it's not been the same w/o them, and i understand that the imaginary-virus problem USDA was using to keep the peppercorns out of the country has been resolved by some pre-microwaving technique.
