Ah, spiciness! Many cuisines of the world wouldn't be complete without the aroma and heat of the chili pepper. But really, what is it about spiciness that makes it so saliva-inducing, so flavourful, so head-scratchingly addictive? In this two-part episode, we first learn about the science behind spiciness from Dr. Chong Li Choo, a lecturer and culinology programme director from Taylor's University. Then, we hear from JinnyboyTV's Jin Lim & Brandon Ho about Hot Guys, their latest YouTube series where they eat the spiciest food around Malaysia.
