麻辣 (má là): ร้อนแรงและชา

I really like spicy and numbing hot pot; every time I order the spiciest broth, and although I sweat all over from the heat, I find it very satisfying.

When Mom made the cold dish, she added a little Sichuan peppercorn oil; it tasted a bit numbing and spicy, but it was very appetizing.

This spicy and numbing instant noodle is very popular; many students just soak a pack when they get hungry at night—it's convenient and satisfies cravings.

The first time I ate malatang, I kept drinking water because it was so spicy, but now I've fallen in love with this numbing and spicy flavor.
