Koh is hidden away in the Italian Quarter of the north side quays, and it is definitely worth a visit.

4. Ledo Bedo, Monty's of Kathmandu

Served with either chicken, lamb or prawn, Monty's of Kathmandu's Ledo Bedo is a traditional Nepalese curry. It's served with plain rice, and can be ordered mild, medium or hot. But you're obvs gonna go for the hot option, ya mad ting.

5. Anything, Mongolian BBQ

Mongolian BBQ works as a sort of buffet system, meaning you pile up your bowl with as many ingredients and spices as you like, and then watch them be made in front of you.

The spices there are plentiful and delicious, as well as wickedly intense. Use this information wisely.

6. Mixed red curry, Thai House 

Dalkey's not only famous for its beautiful views and wild coastline, it also has the incredible Thai House smack bang in the middle of the village.

Their mixed red curry isn't for the faint hearted, a hot red curry with chillies, bamboo, beef, pork and chicken. You've been warned!

7. Red curry pine apple, Baan Thai

Baan Thai is known for their lax approach to spice, as well as only using the hottest of chilis.

Their red curry is a spicy red curry made from a blend of red chilis, herbs and spices, with pineapple, grapes, tomatoes, lime leaves, chilis, peppers and basil. It will leave you speechless.

8. Phall, Spice & Rice

A typical supermarket chilli varies in strength somewhere between 500 and 3,000 Scoville units. Tabasco sauce weighs in at 2,500. And the ghost chili used in Spice 'N' Rice's phall is somewhere between one million and 1.6million Scoville units.

Eat with caution!

9. Gaeng khiao wan gai, The Chili Club

The Chili Club at 1 Anne's Lane is a hidden gem for lovers of spice. Their gaeng khiao wan gai is a fan favourite. It's an incredibly hot and spicy green curry with sliced chicken breast, bamboo shoots basil and green beans.

10. Gang Keaw Wan, Thai Spice

Gang Keaw Wan is a dish served with either chicken, beef, pork or tofu with courgettes, sweet peppers and peas cooked in a green curry, with coconut milk.
