Spices that add heat to food. Photo: Jane F. Ragavan
International Hot And Spicy Food Day is celebrated today (Jan 16). On this day, all manner of red-hot events take place – from habanero-eating challenges to chilli cook-offs. It brings out the daredevil in many chilli heads and some have been known to end up in hospital from over(h)eating.
I haven’t heard of it being a big thing here in Malaysia because, well, why would we when we observe our love for hot and spicy food every day.
