Sadly Bu jian jiao or Bu la are going to be my phrases of the week. Can someone advise if that really means no chili pepper and no hot pepper? I am a wimp, planning to survive on rice, beer and great companionship.
Knowing you, you might want to remember Wo (bu) xihuan chi yu which means "I (don't) like to eat fish" or you might try "Wo bu yao la de cai which means " I don't want anything Spicy". Now I am not going to guarantee what they consider not spicy vice us
