Allow us to take you on a mouth numbing adventure through Kowloon. From Tsim Sha Tsui to Sham Shui Po, we’ve got you covered with some of the spiciest spots, sure to curb those chili cravings. Beware, this is not for the faint hearted!
Excited? Don’t forget the crucial tips and tricks to help you to cool down after a hot meal. Eat something sugary (who doesn’t love dessert?), and put down the water (capsaicin doesn’t like water, it’ll only make it worse!), so drink milk instead, or better yet, have a shot or two! It’s been proven that anything with over 5% alcohol is more effective at cooling your tongue down than beer. You’re welcome!
