A British chef who ate the world’s hottest
noodles – 4,000 times stronger than Tabasco
sauce went deaf for two minutes after
scoffing the dish.
Ben Sumadiwiria, 22, from London, found
the dish at a tiny back street restaurant in
Jakarta, Indonesia. The ‘death noodles’ have 100 bird’s eye chilies crushed together giving it a Scoville rating of 20 million – compared with hot Tabasco which is just 5,000 on the scale.
After Ben scoffed the noodles he started
sweating,became dizzy,had to soak his head in water and even went deaf for two
minutes,The chef said:“This was definitely the
hottest thing I’ve ever eaten.Within seconds
of tasting them I was sweating and feeling
sick.
“We’ve done the calculations and these are
definitely the hottest noodles in the world.
They are definitely the hottest commercially
available dish.
“I’m not really partial to spicy food but
when somebody throws down a challenge I
just can’t say no. “I went temporarily deaf and my mouth was burning for hours afterwards.”
The 22-year-old downed half-a-dozen
glasses of water, milkshake and ate a cold
banana but was still dizzy from the intense
heat in his mouth.
He lost his hearing for two minutes and
threw up outside in the street several times.
Ben added: “You don’t really taste the
noodles, it’s just pure heat with a tiny hint
of noodles.
