Samyang Hot Chicken X2 Spicy Ramen 핵 불닭볶음면 (140g X 5s)

ABBEY: This became a challenge across the globe and I want to try it. I already passed the 4000 Scoville heat units (SHU) and I wonder how much spicy it is if you double it.

I successfully finished 3 packs of it. 

I already realized that it was really spicy on the first slurp of noodle. My mouth and tongue went numb but I know I can handle the heat. The second time, my eyes teared up without me knowing it and got runny nose also. On the third, it was like normal but still the kick is strong. The taste is sweet and spicy.

Make sure to have water, milk or anything sweet on standby in case you want to take the challenge :)

A pack of 5 is less than 4SGD now on sale.

WILL: When Samyang's 2x challenge hit social media, I am shocked Abbey wants to try it. It seems that I am not at his side when Abbey evolved from a man who totally don't eat spicy food to a spicy-addicted man. 

On his first pack, I tried a little roll of noodles before I served it to him.  And that is my last noodle for that day. Hahaha! Spiciness is unbearable. It stinged my whole month. Even I craved for more, I stopped myself. Abbey smothered it all. Hmp! 

On Abbey's 3rd pack, I mustered my courage to take the heat again. Haha. In this case, I am prepared with smoothie and Ovamoltine chocolate spread to shield my tastebuds for this war. Haha. 

Even with armor, I only took 4 fork rolls of this Samyang's 2x. I can feel the numbness on my mouth. 

Never again. Haha! But that is a great experience.

VERDICT
ABBEY: Olives, anchovies, and capers surprised me when they were added on our grocery list. Aha, my baby will literally cook something. It was puttanesca. The ingredients came together well and made me finish the whole batch; save for a couple of spoons for Wilma’s lunch :) I now wonder what if shrimp will be added to that.

And my wish was granted. Wilma added shrimps and it was delicious.

I Want My Noodle at Shaw Centre (Orchard)

ABBEY: After attending a conference, we unwind and had dinner at I Want My Noodle before heading home. The restaurant has an ambiance of an old Chinese shop.

I got Simple noodle, giant wanton and avocado smoothie. The dry noodles are good and the texture is like the under cooked instant noodle we had back in Philippines which I like. And the sauce really gave flavor to it. 

The oversize wanton is giant because of the wrapper not by the fillings. 

They have a must-try over the avocado smoothie. And I can say that it is indeed smooth, milky and not too sweet. 

No credit cards; only cash or NETS.

WILL: Before we buy Abbey's new black shoes at Pedro, we dropped by at I Want My Noodle diner. One of hubby's 'Where to Eat in Singapore' checklist was ticked-off. Ha! 

What is the difference to other stalls? Their egg noodles were handmade. The texture and fluffiness of it proved its distinction. The taste of my myBak Chor Mee? Ok. Nothing special (except the noodles of course). 

Am I going back for it? No. Sorry.
