It’s International Hot & Spicy Food Day, And Here Are Twelve Top Spicy Dishes In Malta
It’s International Hot & Spicy day y’all (yes, believe us, it’s a thing), so to honour this day… stuff your face with spicy food!
We adore spicy food, and we’re actually kind of addicted to be very honest. Good spicy food doesn’t have to be the obnoxiously over the top spicy that’s painful not enjoyable, we mean proper spicy but full of flavours that linger on and on.
Here are some of Malta’s amazing spicy dishes.
1. Spicy Seafood Salad at Tikka’s Thai Street Food
San Ġwann
This seafood salad from Tikka’s will blow your mind! We’re not kidding, it consists of a proper spicy Thai salad with tons of seafood such as squid, huge mussels and juicy king prawns. It’s really spicy but very flavourful!
2. The Hot Wheel Burger at Becky’s Cafe & Kitchen
Naxxar, St. Julian’s
This burger has just launched and contains a 150 gram patty, jalapeños in cream cheese, nachos, nacho cheese, sriracha mayo and chilli flakes.
3. Beef Vindaloo at TukTuk South Indian Food
Valletta
Vindaloo is the go-to curry for actual spice lovers! TukTuk do it really well and it’s authentic.
The consistency of the curry is spot-on and caresses the big chunks of potato and beef perfectly. Count us in.
4. Spicy Pasta Dishes at ImPasta
St Julian’s
Pick your freshly-prepared pasta from the pasta bar and choose one of their comforting spicy sauces. We love the simple chilli, oil and garlic concoction or the Salsiccia (with sausage, broccoli, onion, tomotoes and chillies)!
We promise, you will not regret it.
5. Goat Meat Pepper Soup at Kaya Pub Snack Bar
Buġibba
This superb Afro-Caribbean goat meat soup is saliva-inducing. The soup is spicy but still enjoyable and it’s full of exotic spices!
6. Empanadas at Bongo Nyah
Marsascala
These empanadas will leave a slight tingling sensation to the tongue. They’re stuffed pastry parcels with beef, peppers, onions, chillies and spices.
7. Flaming Wings with hot & spicy buffalo sauce at Tex Mex
Sliema, Marsaxlokk
Pick the hot and spicy buffalo sauce option when ordering the chicken wings and you’ll get an explosion in your mouth.
8. Tom Yum Soup at Chang Thai
St Paul’s Bay
A traditional Thai soup which Chang does excellently. It consists of tiger prawns in a fiery milky broth with mushrooms, chilli, coriander, spring onions, lemon grass, galangal, kaffir leaves and lime juice.
Hot and spicy, just how we like it!
9. Calzone Vulcano at Pulcinella
Ħamrun
This bad boy consists of tomato, mozzarella, spicy spianata salami, peppers and chillies.
