Hot pot in Chongqing is often considered one of the spiciest in the country. "My tongue was numb inside the furnace of my mouth, my lips felt like they were being repeatedly stabbed or riddled with barbs," he recalls.
Smith says he often eats Chinese food in London, but the taste is nothing compare to the real thing in China.

In our recent iReport assignment, we asked foodies to share the stories and pictures of their favorite Chinese meals and we heard tummy rumbles from all over the world.

"[It's] dangerous and delicious," adds Smith.
