It’s time to spice things up
This is not a typical list of sugar, spice and everything nice – it’s just spice, spice and even more spice. Here’s a list of restaurants that serve searing hot and spicy dishes to satisfy those who think ma la hot pot is chicken’s feet. We challenge you to bring your entire squad to these places and try to one up each other without camping in the toilet at the end of the day!
1. Buta God

To call Buta God’s spicy ramen Red Hell Ramen ($14++) is not at all exaggerated. You get a hearty bowl of pork ramen immersed in a rich and terrifyingly red broth. Choose to settle for Danger (Level 4) or be prepared to Go To Hell (Level 5). It’s going to be a helluva ride so don’t forget to drag your friends along.

I always find comfort in warm fluffy naan dipped in curry. But at Lagnaa Barefoot Dining, that might just turn into a nightmare. Leave your mark on their wall of fame by conquering the Level Six: I Dare You curry challenge (price depends on your choice of curry) and get ready for a sweat-dripping, tear-inducing experience.

4. Chilli King Wanton Mee
While Chilli King Wanton Mee’s most spicy wanton mee – Xiang Teh Hiam ($3.50) – may not look as intimidating as the classic Samyang Korean spicy noodles, it sure doesn’t fall behind in terms of heat. Mixed with a dollop of house-made chilli sauce, the al dente noodles were laced with minced up chilli, which will hit your taste buds instantaneously. Don’t miss out on their Soup Wanton ($3.50 for 12) to extinguish the fire in your mouth!
