What can I say about this dish? Simple to cook, nothing complicated and taste wholesomely wonderful!! ^.^ I never resist spicy food, the hotter the better hehehe...But this particular dish is more sweet with touch of spiciness. Maybe I'm used to having spicy stuff, I do not find it spicy at all hahaha at least the heat is acceptable for my kids >.<
