Super Spicy Curry!!

After sending Tess off to the airport this morning and a full day of work, we hopped in a cab and went down to Hongdae to get some deliciously spicy curry at Abiko Curry House. We've been here before and we've always loved the richness of their curry. They smother pork cutlet with a brown curry that burns your mouth, your throat, and your belly with a deep, hot and lingering burn. They also lay on garlic chips, green onions and a raw egg to really make your taste buds explode.


The curry house has five levels of spiciness - we've never done a level five dish before. The first level of spice was so mild we couldn't even feel a burn. The second level of spice is enjoyable for me, leaving me feeling a burn without feeling pain. The third level was almost too spicy for Brad, and was too spicy for me the last time I ordered it - it made my eyes water and my throat feel engulfed in flames. Nick and our other friend who came with us tried the fourth level of spiciness tonight. They enjoyed their meals immensely, but sweated and cried through the entire thing. It's good to know that they've had their limits tested. The waiters who served us were very concerned for them, too - they came by twice to warn us of the spice and to ask the boys if they wanted to reconsider. When the food did come, the chef came over and told the boys that if it was too spicy they could go stand up and be by the water cooler. It was funny.
