Lost my chilli tongue
Before I came to Japan, I was infamous among my friends for my chilli devouring abilities. Some in the family credit my mum for my abilities as she consumed bucket loads of chilli when she was expecting me. This probably contributed to my fiery temper as a 3 year old. ^^.
After 5 years in Japan, I’m afraid to admit… I’ve lost my abilities. 夜来香 (2nd from right) is a chilli sauce only available in a small Malaysian town where my grandparents live. The kanji reads “night-come-smell”. I’ll leave the interpretation to your imagination.
It didn’t cause me discomfort before… Now, even a slight drop releases a barrage of “辛い” from my tongue. In an attempt to regain my chilli tongue, I’ve decided to include a few drops in my meals everyday, whenever possible. That, and a few packets of tissue and a jar of cold tea. Wish me luck!
