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.
