It is due to MSG. Very widely used in Thailand and China too.nakatago wrote:I'm not really that fond of spicy food but I do enjoy it from time to time. However, just when I developed a taste for local chili, I've noticed that most things chili here is extra salty.
I remember eating a McSpicy once and I think I felt my blood pressure going up just through activation of salty taste receptors. When I have chili with my food from hawker centers, when I try the chili alone, it's really salty. Chili-flavored anything? Salty.
However, when I'm elsewhere (re: outside of Singapore or Malaysia), when I reach for dried chili flakes, hot (pepper) sauce or have thai food, I know it's spicy but it won't that salty.
Is it just me or have people here just have numb taste receptors already? And just curious, how is everyone's blood pressure?
