5 to Try: Hot and Spicy Dishes

The cashew chicken packs a punch with tangy, spicy garlic sauce. Try the Jade Mistress cocktail made with black pepper vodka for an extra kick in the pants.

Try the thinly sliced filet with spicy herbed butter, or the fiery calamari appetizer that's sure to get you sweating.

All of their fresh salsas--even the mild salsa fresca--add a kick to the authentic Mexican menu with tons of jalapeno peppers, seeds and all.

Try the trio of skewers with spicy mustard sauce. If you get there before 6pm or after 10pm, it's half-off for happy hour.

Feel the heat of the salt and pepper prawns at one of downtown's only Chinese takeout joints.
