普通的餸菜、而且選擇不多，勁細碗的酸辣粉，兩三啖就食曬，不化算的價錢~~ 絕不能裹腹之用。舖頭只有小量座位，但環境頗污糟，坐低已經有幾隻蒼蠅飛來飛去。但味道尚算不俗，嗜辣者應該會幾鍾意，因為真係好夠辣！有些不滿係那個阿姐無記性、唔熟手又撞聾咁，落ORDER 要叫兩次、走葱又唔記得！最後~如果大食的人，我唸要叫多少少小食！因為那次去食只叫了酸辣粉，但其實其他小食好像都唔錯！但我都覺得只去一次就夠了~~

When I first heard the name, I secretly gasped in horror with painful flashbacks of those Japanese super-hot noodles that were meant to stimulate the upper tolerance limits of our senses, in a self-loathing deprivation sort of way. I admit I may be adventurous to a certain extend, food-wise, but I would seriously lose in any form of competitive eating, despite how much I eat and how fast I may be able to accomplish downing all. Back to the name, it's meant to serve noodles "hot enough to induce tears".

The location couldn't be more convenient, right on the same street where restaurants flourish. This joint, with a stove at the front cooking noodles and a kitchen at the back where everything else was made, was simple enough not to be bothered with decor. It's looked like someone's kitchen with the tiles, with ONE wooden table and fold-up chairs for people sitting around it. Ordering in here is a no-brainer. You will order up one of those noodles in hot and sour broth. Feel free to choose your desired level of heat from " a little", "moderate", "very hot", and "insanely hot" (which, up till now I have seen one grown man giving up halfway through with swollen red lips.) On my visits I have started with the "little" one, and now I could handle the moderate one pretty well.

Each bowl of noodles was made by tossing the red-potato noodles into boiling water, meanwhile the owner of the store would spoon from different tins at the seasoning station up front. There were no labels on the tins, but from the looks I could tell a little soy sauce, chili oil, ground chilies, ground Szechuan Peppercorns, sesame oil, mashed ginger, mashed garlic, and black vinegar. Then the noodles were put in the mixture, together with chunky ingredients like preserved mustard tubers, fried peanuts, and chopped coriander leaves. The mixture bears a potent (almost ferocious) aroma of spices inside and out. Despite thinning out the mixture with a rich chicken broth made daily with "real chickens", the strength of the broth was never to be underestimated.

For around $40 you can get a combo with the noodles, with a choice of either the "Mouth Watering Chicken", or the "Spicy Juliennes of Pork Stomach". The Chicken was rather fatty to begin with. The "mouth watering" sauce was meant to be chunky with chopped peanuts, chilies and a whole bunch of other ingredients. This one, somehow was disappointing in a way that the peanuts were not very chopped, and the ingredients were too rich on the garlic and less about the smoky taste of fried chilies and numbness yielded from Szechuan Peppercorns. The chicken, was a no-mistake moist and well flavoured, I just wasn't sure the entire dish made my mouth water enough to be considered "awesome". The Pork Stomach was better, and was dressed with a similar sauce with less garlic, but more on the invasive pungency of the Szechuan Peppercorns, which brings a astringent numbness to the tongue, only to be relieved by the complimentary coconut drink (too sweet).

One particular recommendation is the "Thousand-Year-Old Eggs with Peppers" (尖椒皮蛋). The eggs were split 8-ways. Instead of the dark varieties, this one is rather golden in colour with a slightly molten yolk. The green peppers' sharp heat cuts through the richness of the egg yolk, but the sensation was instantly lightened up by the jellied exterior of the egg. The sauce was thin but laden with sesame oil with a tiny bit of black vinegar. The whole combination was fantastic indeed.

Slurping up bunches and bunches of noodles, accompanied by the different textures in between bites (the crunchy peanuts, the crispy salty mustard tubers, and fresh herbalness of the coriander leaves), the heat did not get me to shed a tear, instead, I felt my back slowly wetting up, and occasionally I could feel a bead of sweat travelling down my back, causing a shiver. Perhaps that's what it's meant to feel like when you eat something that is meant to expand your horizons and extend your limits to something further than you expected, somewhat like physical training, only so much better!!
