It's rare to encounter authentic spicy Asian cuisine in Northern countries. I had the privilege of being in Norway in January for the screening of my documentary, Twin Trek, and had some time to dine at a great Thai place called Yayas. It was a little bizarre (thatched areas, bird sounds) but the food more than made up for the strangeness. For those closer to North America, I discovered a lovely place that serves South Indian cuisine, Maroli. It dares you to give it's kickin' dishes a try, with a poster in the window stating: "If you want bland go two doors down the street" - a reference to the KFC outlet nearby.
