The spiceness of a good hot curry feels different than the numbing dry flavor I've come to enjoy from mapo. I taught myself to overcome my "cat's tongue" specifically to be able to eat these foods.
Sounds fabulous. I love my curry hot and with pork. Like that picture I posted, mine tastes orgasmic. First, it's the crunchy texture that breaks against chattering teeth. You get a hint of the heat from the meat beneath that crust and soon the sauce's beauty comes into the mix. You taste a little bit of that brown sugar and garlic, then even the oils used in the pot to make the sauce. The heat from the rub is the last of it. I can tell that the chef let the sauce have a crust over the top before dipping in to drizzle the pork and rice. It hits the roof of your mouth first and while it doesn't exactly numb the tongue, the buttery oils make it all worth the while.
And that is just the first bite. The second tells more.Â
