I'm extremely picky and most Thai food looks scary to me. I want to eat at a Thai restaurant nearby and I haven't the slightest clue what to order, and want somwthing safe and familiar the first time around.
To me, Thai foos is weird pastries floating in strange broths with unidentifiable vegetables that may not be a vegetable at all but rather a very upset sea urchin.
To establish a pattern for my preferred dishes in other asian cultures:
For Chinese food, I'll usually eat mongolian beef:
For Vietnamese it's Lemongrass Beef or Chicken:
This is a Hawaiian Plate Lunch with Kalbi Ribs (supposedly korean)
You may see a pattern emerging in how I eat. A western asian meal I wouldn't hesitate to eat, Turkish Kebob:
Oh, and I never eat seafood or fried rice, or tofu.

Thai lettuce wraps are amazing! I had them once when I was invited to lunch in Cambridge, and an American friend of my Thai friends prepared them. They were delish, and not too spicy!
They have a dipping sauce, and the dipping sauce is sometimes spicy hot.
