The Dishes
The main event was the spiciest noodles the reviewer has ever tried, featuring a vegetable base leveled up with scotch bonnet pepper for the Jamaican influence and scorpion pepper for the Trinidadian kick. The noodles delivered on their promise with intense heat, crunchiness, and a spice rating of 10 out of 10. The super hot pepper shrimp came next, also prepared with scorpion pepper, earning a 9 out of 10 on the spice scale, though the reviewer notes this would be around a 25 for regular humans. Mark wings appeared on the menu, rated around 7-8 on the spice scale, providing a slightly more moderate heat option. The meal concluded with crispy fried chicken that was golden and crunchy, tossed in a sweet sticky sauce that balanced the heat beautifully.
