The Best Spicy Dishes In Philadelphia - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"When you arrive at the Southeast Asian Market, look for a green tent, a long line, and a lady grinding chilies in a mortar and pestle that you know has some stories to tell. She’ll ask you how many chilis you want. Usually, three or four gets you where you need to go when it comes to feeling like a fire-breathing dragon. There are tender strands of green papaya, fresh, juicy tomato, and snappy long beans all tossed together with, of course, your chosen ground chilis. It’s spicy, sweet, zesty, and simultaneously fiery and refreshing." - Candis R. McLean
