Greetings ASEAN Hivers, @justinparke here with a challenge revolving around spicy foods, whether it be a recipe or even just the spicy foods you love.

🍛 Spicy Spoonfuls 🍲

👨‍💻 Week #165 👩‍💻

^{July 21st ➡️ July 28th, 2025}

     This week's challenge is a week late due to more challenging circumstances here in the USA. It's all about the spicy food(s) you love, whether it be a recipe, junk food from the supermarket, or even just the spicy things you eat on a typical day. The main thing is that the food you share for this challenge is something with a little fire.

     Thai curries, ghost pepper potato chips, sour fruits with chili salt, there are so many spicy things to eat in Southeast Asia, and it is a big reason I think people in this part of the world are generally healthier than their western counterparts. Grab the chilies for this one and bring the fire 🔥🔥🔥

     I simply wasn't able to create a new challenge last week due to family circumstances here in the USA, apologies for that. The challenge entries covered everything from pollution and traffic to education, social issues, and more, with possible solutions for some of these issues as well. Please take some time to look at the winning posts and show some love if you feel compelled.

Welcome to The Traffic Capital of Pangasinan
by: @straykat

Getting stuck in traffic is such a bummer. It's a huge inconvenience for everyone because a huge chunk of our time is wasted. Such a huge disadvantage especially for businesses which requires transporting goods, materials, etc. There was a report which says billions of Pesos were lost due to traffic congestion in Manila.
