World's Hottest Burger - Wellington Pt, QLD

Saturday, 17 Jan 2009 - More than 10 of us made our way to Welling Point on this day so 3 courageous man who would like to challenge their pallates to the World's Hottest Burger just because they want to ...














get their names on the wall.... (it was so serious that they had to sign a disclaimer to discharge the diner's responsibility should anything untoward happen to them in their quest....)

And the 3 courageous men are....



Rey, Esmond and Haw....


and here are their cheerleaders....

And before they can sink their teeth into their challenge, they decided to cut the burger into quarters so it would be more manageable (the burgers were bigger than a tea saucer!)














With encouragement from all around them, they begun their quest...















After the first 3 or 4 mouth full, Haw decided to pull the plug. It was too hot for him... Esmond and Rey badgered on... with running noses, red faces and sweat...













Twenty minutes on, and Esmond was on his way to "licking off his plate"....
















When he's done, he had to wait for another 5 minutes without water or puking in order to qualify.

Esmond said that the hotness did not bother him at all. What bothered him was the sourness from tha jalapenos and the dry beef patty and the general bland tasteless (other than hot and sour) burger.... In fact, he found it quite disgusting (and to think that he paid $14.95 to make himself suffer...)

And after 5 minutes, Esmond was officially a "winner". He can have his name on the wall...



























Ten minutes later, Rey had also accomplished his challenge.... (the challenge to Rey is not the hotness but the size of the burger. It was too much for him! So much so that he had to unload some after we've left the diner....)

And so, for their bravery, steel palate and engorged tummy, they have their names (complete with country code!) down onto the register...



The victors!



Since we were so full, we decided to walk it off at the beach...

But instead of walking on the beach, we were up in the trees... well, 5 of us anyway (Michael Chan, Roger, Kin Onn, Esmond and me....)




And two of us decided to come down in another way - a la koala or roast pig way....

It was a blustery day at Wellington Point and boy did we have fun...

But the day did not end there..... (see next post!!!)
