SAMA is small restaurant at the end of Gough Street. Very casual with just a few tables.The specialty of the house is “soup curry” – basically a spicy soup with vegetables and some meats to choose from (or just veggie). The restaurant offers three soup bases (tomato, shrimp, coconut). As a standard they are served with rice (on an extra plate) which can be exchanged for udon noodles (at a small charge). The interesting part is that they serve the curry in not less than 30 levels of spiciness.On

On my first visit I went for the coconut-veggie-udon and then asked which level of spice is appropriate for someone who can eat fairly spicy. The waiter recommend level 20, so I went. What I got was a fairly large bowl with something that had a lot of similarity with a red Thai curry due to the coconut base. Flavorful, spicy (but not very) and very rich, lots of vegetables in quite big chunks – potato, eggplant, lots of cabbage (including some hard to eat parts from the stalk) and half an egg. I also liked the combination with the udon noodles, which added some extra chewiness. Overall quite enjoyable. The coconut bases makes it very tasty, but also quite heavy.
After that experience I came back for a tomato-veggie-udon, level 30. And what should I say – this is easiest the spiciest dish I have ever eaten in my life (and I have been – among other things – to Chongqing’s spiciest hotpot). This was so overpowering that I am not able to write much about the taste of the tomato-soup. Still finished the bowl, but didn't feel very good afterwards, serious challenge, even for an experienced spicy food eater.
