Hey! Long time no food post!
I'll get straight to the point, Buffalo's Wings n Things serves the hottest sauce in the history of sauces. But that's coming from someone who'll run at the scent of Tabasco, so don't take me seriously lol. My boyfriend, however, loves spicy foods and wanted to know if their spiciest of 1,000,000 SHU measures up to the chili sauce the siomai vendor sells at their church. Spoiler: it does.
Scoville Heat Units (SHU) is a unit of measurement that determines how spicy a chili pepper is. The higher the hotter. Record holder for world's hottest pepper right now is the Carolina Reaper, rated 2.2 million SHU. Tabasco is rated at 30,000 - 50,000 SHU, Jalapeno at 3,500 - 10,000 SHU, and Pimento at 100-1,000 SHU. Can you imagine how 1 million SHU tastes like? You couldn't taste fire.
I have very low tolerance for spicy foods but I got curious when Jeckie ordered Ultimate Wingsanity (the spiciest on the menu). What could be so spicy that you had to sign a waiver to relieve the restaurant of any liability related to a possible suffering? So I poked a bit into his plate just to try it out, and well...
IT WAS HELL. The spiciness lingered for hours and that's just a teeny tiny drop of their hottest sauce.
No wonder they require you to sign a waiver before taking on their extremely hot chicken wings (but not really cos we had to remind them about it, and they served us tenders cos they didn't have wings yet that hour).
Here's a peek at the menu and the waiver. They have over 10 signature sauces arranged in increasing spiciness. Take your pick, I chose one of the mildest, Chipotle Lime cos I'm lame like that.

and earned bragging rights with it!
They have a promo every 2pm-5pm where you get a plate of chicken plus NY dirty rice for just ₱99. Super good deal! My meal reminded me of a deconstructed chicken burrito. Their salsa is amazing!
