It’s hard to resist a challenge when you read in the papers of a Southern restaurant owner boasting that his spicy fried chicken is so hot that it “will kick you in your face and make you cry.”
Anyone who’s been to Singapore or sampled real Singaporean food knows that my people don’t shy away from spice. My mother, in fact, has been observed eating the tiniest, spiciest raw chilis– like candy.
So when the sister was in town recently, we immediately set off to see what all this making you cry business was all about.
With Singaporean blood coursing through us, this chicken couldn’t possibly take us. No, we would take it.
