00:00I remember the first time I decided to venture into the world of ethnic food.
00:04I was feeling adventurous, or maybe just hungry enough to ignore the fact that my culinary
00:08experience was limited to microwave dinners and the occasional pizza delivery.
00:15So there I was, standing outside this little Thai restaurant, my stomach growling louder
00:19than my doubts.
00:21The neon sign flickered and I thought, how bad could it be?
00:25Spoiler alert, it could be very bad.
00:28I walked in and the aroma hit me like a freight train.
00:31It was a mix of spices that I couldn't even begin to identify.
00:35I scanned the menu, which looked like a foreign language.
00:37Oh wait, it was.
00:40I decided to play it safe and ordered Pad Thai, because how dangerous could a noodle
00:44dish be?
00:45I mean, it's just noodles, right?
00:47Wrong.
00:48When the dish arrived, it looked like a colorful explosion on my plate.
00:52There were peanuts, sprouts, and something green that I later learned was cilantro.
00:57I took my first bite, and it was like a flavor parade in my mouth.
01:01Sweet, salty, tangy, my taste buds were doing the cha-cha.
01:06But then I made the rookie mistake of trying the chili paste.
01:09Let's just say, my mouth went from a cha-cha to a full-blown fire drill.
01:14I was gulping down water like I was in a desert, while the waiter looked on, probably thinking,
01:18ah, another one bites the dust.
01:21By the end of the meal, I was sweating, but I felt alive.
01:24I had conquered the Pad Thai.
01:27I left the restaurant feeling like a culinary warrior, ready to take on the next challenge.
01:32Who knew that trying new food could be such a roller coaster?
01:36Now I'm on a mission to taste everything, except maybe that chili paste.
01:40Some adventures are best left unexplored.
