Most of Asian people (don’t include me on this one) loves hot spicy food. They even love to eat it raw!
My mom has it in the front garden. We often use it to add some spice on the cuisine.
This tiny chili is also known as Thai Ornamental. It grows upward on the plant, go from green to yellow, orange and then red. According to wikipedia, these chilies can grow wild in places like Saipan dan Guam. Where the heck is Saipan dan Guam anyway?? I’d never heard of that name before. Well, Saipan and Guam are located at Mariana Archipelago -western Pacific Ocean and it still under United States Territory. Wow, just a simple picture can really get you anywhere, isn’t it?
By the way, most of my friends love hot spicy food! One of them even add 25 to 30 raw chilis and mixed it together on her food and still said,”This isn’t spicy at all!”

25 to 30 raw chillies, wow, i could not even handle one or 1/2 :(
Size does matter here and it’s not the biggest size that is the spiciest; it is usually the smallest it is, the spiciest. :)
The tiny and green one usually is the spiciest :P
Nicely taken :)
I think the orange one is the hottest and most spicy.
My mouth can handle it, but my digestion can’t.
I love hot and spicy chillies – the more the better. However as I get older they do not like me as much :)
I’m not big on hot stuff. People will tell me it’s not hot at all and my mouth is burning.
I had a plant once that looked something like that and the peppers turned purple on it.
@betchai & @ann: same here, I can’t even handle the tiniest bite. It’s too hot for me :)
@Joanne: what happen? Do they bite you back?
yes, some chilli are really not hot.
Many of us Americans love hot and spicy food too. I love the hot food too, but mostly because I like the flavor of the chilies. I don’t care about thehot one way or another as long as it tastes good.
