Sounds great, how hot is it? I have tried some Thai dishes that burn the taste buds out of your mouth.

450 grams = 15.8732829 ounces

That's almost a pound of chicken. And 7 chilies! YOW! that's VERY spicy for us farangs (ped mak MAK!)

Also, you use fish sauce and soy sauce:look:? Why not just use fish sauce? I ask this question curiously instead of judgingly.
