A quick search online reveals that fans who can cope with Samyang’s fire noodle spice levels, probably belong to an elite chilli squad with iron-clad stomachs.

Reddit, for instance, has more than 1 active thread dishing out advice on how to make the instant noodles less spicy.

So to all you da la eaters, think of this pack of ramen as baby steps for your loved ones who haven’t been endowed with a steel tongue yet.

Sold in packets of 5 on Samyang’s website

For now, we aren’t sure which retailers in Singapore will pick up on the sale of these noodles — but judging by the popularity of previous iterations, they’ll probably be available in local K-marts and supermarkets soon.
