Esther apparently order a lunch special, "Kwaytio Kee Mao" (F-5 on the menu), which she had never ordered before, and which was also marked on the menu with an ominous chili pepper, indicating a degree of spiciness. When questioned by our reporter, Esther offered the following remark:
"Though I usually go for some spring rolls, or pad thai, or coconut soup, I was feeling a little adventurous today, and decided to try something different."
It would be worthwhile to note that she did request the dish to be prepared as mildly as possible. Royal Thai 2 is known as the leader of the pack in the fried-ice-cream department, in addition to being Esther's favorite local Thai haunt.
On her way back to the office, Esther narrowly escaped injury when she slipped on the sidewalk, while walking beneath a scaffolding. Howeverm she managed to amazingly regain her balance, and she did not fall. Our reporter was impressed, noting her cat-like reflexes.
