Video - Offbeat: Man eats world's hottest noodles

Ben Sumadiwiria, 22, from London, found the dish at a tiny back street restaurant in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The ‘death noodles’ have 100 bird’s eye chilies crushed together giving it a Scoville rating of 20 million - compared with hot Tabasco which is just 5,000 on the scale.

Ben scoffed the noodles and started sweating, became dizzy, had to soak his head in water and even went DEAF for two minutes.

The chef said: ‘’This was definitely the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten. Within seconds of tasting them I was sweating and feeling sick.
