A new level of hotness
Yesterday, a few of my friends made our way to a remote location in Seletar, Singapore. The place? Sunset Grill and Pub. It’s an American diner style place right beside the Seletar Airport runway, adjacent to the defunct Singapore Flying Club.
The place is famous for its various level of spicy hot buffalo wings; from Level 0 to up to 35! Yesterday, the faithful day, my friend, Iris and I decided to try the Level 30 wings, after we had each consumed two Level 5 wings. For the Level 5 wings, the spiciness can still be overcome easily. The taste of the original pieces can still be tasted easily. Overall experience of the Level 5 wings is, it’s good. I like it.
The came the Level 30 wings. Let me tell you that when I say that it’s hot, it means it’s hot. Really hot. My first bite send streams of sweat down my head, and I’m sitting right beside a fan aimed at me! That’s how hot it was. But one bite is not enough a good man make. That’s why I need to finish the whole wing.
But the first bite took out a lot of me. I had to cool down by drinking gulps of hastily drank milk. Then, on to the second bite. It was every bit as bad as the first. More drinks of milk and cold fruit juice. I head the lactose in milk and the fructose in fruit juices will block off the pain receptors that gives us the characteristic “hotness”. Therefore, I conclude that the only way to finish this is to finish all at one go. The reasoning is I will feel the pain only one time, instead of spreading it over several agonizing minutes.
So onto my third and last bite, a big bite. Mopped it off, and as a result, pour down a whole glass of milk and cold juice. Even when my mouth has subsided in pain, the ordeal my stomach had to go through is gut wrenching!
I do not know how I survive the experience, but survive it I did, with a certificate to proof that I did. See here. Hehe.
I can proudly say that, I DID IT!!!
