Spice level warning — Hainanese Chicken Rice is not what I expected

I underestimated Hainanese Chicken Rice. The fragrant and aromatic description didn't prepare me for the reality. coconut cream brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

Malaysian cuisine reflects the Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous Orang Asli traditions of a multicultural society. The a mamak 24-hour restaurant setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. teh tarik cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
