I haven't found a YouTube video where they actually ate the whole bowl within the time period, so that kind of got me inspired, and why did I do it?

I mean I do eat a lot of spicy foods, I can usually handle my spice, I'm also Southeast

Asian so I'm used to eating a lot of spicy foods on a daily basis.

Hi, it's Michael with Taiwan News, I'm here at King's Spicy J, I want to do the 超級辣 challenge where you win 500 NTD, but first I have to pass the 4th level, which is 重辣.

Alright, let's try this, looks alright, ok it's exactly 7pm, ok timer's set, or stopwatch, stopwatch.

Yeah, it is spicy.

Yeah, so it's to me, I feel like it's roughly the spice level of the Buldak, but the times 3 flavor, so like more spicy than the standard, yeah.

This is Carolina Reaper, yeah, I'm not sure if they used it in this one, but in the super spicy one they used Carolina Reaper.

This is actually way easier, well this is like not the spiciest one, but.

What do you say, it's pretty spicy.

I'm not humbled by this, but it is spicy, like it is for sure spicy.

You're done?

Wow.

Within 3 minutes?

That is insane.

Thanks.

This is Michael from Taiwan News, I was here on Friday doing their second highest spicy challenge, and now I'm here to finally do the actual spiciest noodle challenge.

They will give you 500 NTD if you eat their spiciest noodles in 30 minutes.

You're allowed to drink water, you can drink milk, I don't think you can share, and you also have to sign a waiver, so wish me luck.

Can I mix it first?

Yes.

Is that okay?

Thank you again.

Okay, so let's watch my reaction.

How is it?

Quite spicy.

Quite spicy, and I really mean very spicy.

I took like 3 big bites.

And it looked like I could finish it, like if I took like 5 big bites, I probably would have gotten to like 50%.

You good?

I don't know, this will help.

I think at this point, that was when my body was telling me like physically, you've got to stop eating.

Like I'm trying to describe it.

Oh my gosh.

It was so painful that like, even if you think like, you really want to chew the noodles, you want to like swallow, but there was just something in my mind, like a pain receptor that was just saying like, no, you can't eat this anymore.

Nah, I don't, I think I just got humbled.

I don't know if I would have thought Taiwan news, but.

Is it still burning?

Yeah.

It hurts to talk, so that's why I'm trying, I'm really trying to describe it, but like it really hurts to like talk.

Yeah, so like I prepared like a carton of milk, like a big carton of milk, and then like a small, I don't know, container of yogurt to help me with the challenge.

I didn't need that when I ate the second spiciest noodles, but for sure, like you need, you definitely need that if you're going to do that.

I also prepared like what, like a liter of like water, and it was so spicy to the point that the milk actually didn't help as much.

So, go figure.

I'll give it five more minutes, but like I took like three big bites and I'm like, I only ate like 90%, or sorry, 10%.

Yeah, it really is spicy.

I look like I'm contemplating my life decisions.

Like this was like just a few days ago.

No, like I'm, I think at this point, I probably decided to just stop eating.

Nah.

Because like I might, I might, I might throw up like if I keep eating.

I mean, yeah.

Wow.

It is, yeah.

How do I even look?

Do I look crazy?

Do I look like I'm crying?

I mean, teary for sure.

Oh, okay, okay.

By that point, like, again, like my, my body was physically incapable of just like chewing at that point.

And so I'm just like internalizing the pain.

I'm thinking about like what I'm going to have for lunch now.

Like I brought, I brought my, like my lunch and my dinner.

I just wanted to say like, I don't think I had lunch that day.

I mean, that was like my, my lunch.

I, yeah, I lost my lunch.

Okay, it feels a little better now.

I wouldn't say it's like unimaginably spicy.

Like it's not to the point that you can't imagine it, but it really like, yeah, it is probably the spiciest thing I ever had.

People on YouTube, like when I saw them, like I thought they were wimps, but not like, well, if you only ate one noodle, probably not gonna, that wouldn't be spicy.

But if you ate like three full bites, like I did, like at least three full bites, like don't, don't think about, you'll start to feel it.

It's in my, it's in my stomach now.

Like, like I feel, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Like, yeah, like I, if, if it gets to that point, I would caution anyone who wants to do this.

Like don't, don't go beyond that.

Like where I'm at right now, I wouldn't, I wouldn't.

Like it's not just your mouth at that point.

Like it's, it's, you're feeling like the burning cessation in your stomach.

That's how like spicy it was.

Like it's, it's like burning the walls of your stomach.

It's, it's crazy.

But you can, you do have 30 minutes.

Like I will, yeah.

You got 30 minutes to do it.

So, I mean, it's, I don't think I'm going to be able to finish it.

Yeah.

Like, yeah.

Yeah.

You can't really taste anything, right?

Except the spice.

A little bit, just like 10 to 20% of like the meat or whatever.

But like, nah, they really mix it in there.

Like, cause you don't see like chili flakes or whatever.

Yeah.

You don't see like sliced chilies, which would probably be too much anyway.

You want to tell them?

I think, I think I'm out.

I'm okay.

I think if I eat more, I'm going to throw up.

Yeah.

So I don't want to, I don't want to throw up.

Yeah.

It is spicy.

No, it is, it is really spicy.

You know, I never asked the name of like the owner, but like I should have like shook her hand because that for sure, like was the spiciest thing I've ever had in my entire life.

And like, I have been humbled by the Carolina Reaper, which is the peppers they use.

That is, that is good.

That is good.

I don't even want to look at that anymore.

Oh, it's burning in my throat.

Like literally burning.

How did Michael finish 20 pieces?

I'm going to cry.

I'm going to cry.

Don't like share it.

Oh my God.

Ice water.

Jesus.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Delicious flavor.

I'm like burning in the tongue.

What in the name of God made you try to eat a bowl of that stuff?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Too much.

It's pretty hard.

You good?

Not really, but I feel.

Not great, but I only got this month, so I'm not crying.

Do you want to do the challenge?

Do you actually want to go and do the challenge?

I failed.

After that?

No way.

Why would I do that?

580.

Only in quick recess.

500 for that?

No way.

I mean, I can't even work tomorrow if I eat something like that.

Well, I'm working right now.

I just ate at this party.

Yeah, you're like.

Oh, you threw up.

I threw up.

I threw up.

For people who want to do this challenge, obviously you have to eat the second spiciest noodles first.

If you think you can handle that, then you definitely have a shot.

But these spiciest noodles are about 10 times more spicy than that one.

So I would try to gauge that.

Like when you finish the second highest, like really try to imagine that being like 10 or 15 times more spicy.

And that's what the owner kind of says.

And then for sure bring a lot of water, a lot of milk.

Moral support is nice.

So bring a friend or two.

Like I think moral support kind of helps a little bit.

But that's as much as I can say.

Yeah.

As we were walking from the restaurant to the MRT station, like me and Water actually had to stop like three or four times.

Like we were just sitting down on a bench or even sitting on like the sidewalk.

And people were just walking past us.

It was so spicy.

That was really, really painful.

And then when we got to the MRT station, when we got inside, like I just had to use the restroom.

And actually that's where I threw up.

So I don't know.
