Some of you may have seen this Samyang 2x Spicy Ramen being circulated around in the social media. I've seen quite a few videos where people tried to take on the challenge of eating the apparently super spicy noodle. Most of them who ate the noodle ended up with excruciating agony, ranging from sweating, tearing eyes, runny nose and even worse, I saw my ex-university friend vomit while eating it half way through (he did a video of himself taking on the challenge).

And I was like... "Psssh! Is it really that spicy? I'm born in Penang and Penang is famous for spicy food. I don't think this is spicy for me!". Boy, I was so wrong.

So I finally managed to get my hands on this little fire demon. I cooked it using a small rice cooker. And yes, I actually ate the noodle directly from the rice cooker bowl itself after draining the water so that I don't have to wash extra dishes. There's a saying that goes "work smart, play hard". So, we gotta eat smart too! Save up detergent, save up water. Just have'ta wash 1 bowl only!
*Disclaimer: Cocktail sausages not included and are sold separately. I added them in 'cos the noodle feels a bit plain without some extra stuff to go with it.

So yeah, the noodle is damn spicy alright. Possibly the spiciest food I've tasted. This is also the first time I ate spicy food "combo" with milk. The reason for that is because milk contains the protein called "casein" which helps to dissolve capsaicin (the substance that make you feel spiciness) found in chili peppers so that you don't feel that painful while eating spicy food. More details on that can be found on the article here.

In all honesty, the noodle itself is good. When they say 2x spicy, they really mean it. But be warned though, when "duty calls" the next day, your other end will burn as well. It's literally crying out for mercy! 😂
