Start with the menu

Z & Y’s official menu includes fish fillet with flaming chili oil, tea-smoked duck and a range of vegetable, noodle and rice dishes. Treat that as an invitation to compose a meal with contrast. A table of only intensely seasoned dishes can feel very different from one that includes a quieter vegetable or rice alongside the main dishes.

Heat is a conversation

Tell the server what you enjoy and what you prefer to avoid. A request for less chili is not the same as a request to remove every pungent or numbing ingredient. Ask about the preparation of individual dishes rather than assuming that one general description applies to everything. For groups, it helps to agree on a few dishes everyone can share and then add a more adventurous choice.
