I just ate my first bowl of instant noodles after a long time and I think it will take another year or something before I'll eat noodles again.
GEEEZ, that was spicy.
I started craving for water immediately after, but it didn't relieve me from the pain. Then I started looking for a towel and really scraped my tongue. That didn't help much either, and now I am in huge pain... what should I do in order to relieve me from that spicy pain?

I love instant noodles but the ones available here in India are toned down in their spice content to suit the Indian palate, so that's OK with me. I remember though we had gone on vacation to a place in the north-east of India were plenty of Chinese goods are available. There I picked up a packet of Chinese instant noodles (couldn't read the name, it was in Chinese) and back home when I cooked it, OMG was it spicy! Forget water, I started coughing as the spices got to my food pipe...I wouldn't try that again for sure.

You've learned a lesson, never eat noodles you don't know.
What else besides drinking water and coughing have you tried to get relieved from the spicy pain?

hi diamania!
hey didn't you read the label? you must have taken the hot and spicy variant!
well, anyway, i am not fussy with hot foods, i actually like putting chili in whatever i eat. but anyway, just to answer your question, you can try eating sugar. yup, as in raw sugar. hopefully, the sweet taste of sugar will help to stimulate the taste buds that were numbed by the hotness of what you ate. other than that, drink water. and wait for it to go away.
take care and God bless you!
happy mylotting! :D
ps. and be careful to read the label next time! :-D
Happy mylotting to you too.

Hello,
Maybe you can try , taking a really cold glass of water and put a mouth full of water in your mouth, don't swollow the water just let it sit in your mouth for about 10 seconds, make sure you are swishing the water around in your mouth, while the water is in your mouth for the 10 seconds, then soit the water out into the sink, then see how your mouth feels, if you don't get any sign of relief repeat the same steps over again. I hope you feel better really soon.
Happy My Lotting!

They said you should drink milk. ;)
Because the noodles, esp. instant has oil which locks the flavor in.
Water doesn't really help much.
Milk may relieve your tongue. (I don't really know, I just remember reading that somewhere. please don't blame me) ;p
