Not sure what peppers were in there! Honestly you can't see the peppers anywhere in the dish which makes me really wonder how the spice is so much. Some sort of chili oil? Flakes of something super hot? They don't just dump red pepper flakes on top or anything like that and when I get it spicy the sauce itself is a much deeper red so probably they're putting something in the sauce when they cook it.
I dunno how many Scovilles I can handle but I do like to cronch a habanero now and again because they taste like really spicy mango/orange things and are delicious. So I am no stranger to heat.
The pad thai was mostly noodles of course but also had lots of bean sprouts, green onion, crushed peanuts, a healthy amount of tofu, a boatload of flavor, and
animal product discussion
shrimp, with the tails still on, which is extra fun in a dish like pad thai
Just thinking about it is making me hungry again. Fortunately I thought ahead and kept an order of thai egg rolls in the fridge for lunch.
