Its official - spicy food cures my throat

Yesterday, I went to Shangri-la with Daryl to watch a movie. We ended up eating at Secret Recipe which serves really good desserts and my personal favorite, the Tom Yum Noodle Soup. I remembered that while ordering, Daryl mentioned that she remembered it curing my colds/cough the last time so I ordered it again. I ordered the cheaper version Php180 with chicken instead of the Php280 with giant prawns haha. We also ordered a Ceasar Salad to share.
The food was great. I guess Daryl and I are just lucky in picking the better selections in the menu. Anyway, to cut things short, I was sweating SO MUCH while Daryl was getting the runny nose because of how spicy (and yummy) the dish is! Today I wake up and my throat feels better :D
I guess ingestion of spicy food is better than gargling cayenne powder in my previous post.
