Oh lordy! If you think spice is nice and heat is neat, the Chanon Thai Cafe in Salt Lake City is definitely the place for you. The Thai cuisine at this funky, friendly, comfy little café, is truly authentic, particularly when it comes to the heat scale. Order a dish of gang masaman curry spicy, and it will be spicy. Seriously. So order carefully. One absolutely divine dish at this restaurant is gang khua sub pa rod, a bowl of red curry with coconut milk, red bell pepper, Thai basil, cubes of pineapple, and a charitable portion of shrimp – all spicy and sweet at the same time. The Duck Fantasy is also superb, and a spring roll-wrapped fried banana with homemade ice cream provides a delicious finish to a meal.
