I consider myself a lucky person unless it comes to food. I’m lactose intolerant, have IBS and my nutritionist told me to avoid spice and dairy 🫩 I wanted to say “I’m Asian, in my defence” but here we are. Did that stop me from eating spicy food and drinking milk? Absolutely not. I just pay the price afterwards 🙂‍↔️ Not encouraging anyone to follow my lead, genuinely bad idea lol. But I cannot live without spice. In my defence, I do use lactose free milk 💅 Malatang Prawn Tofu Hotpot 🌶️🤍 Ingredients 1. Malatang mix 18,000 VND ($0.69) - UK: £2.50 - USA: $3.00 2.
