JOHOR BARU: The Singaporean man who lodged a police report after eating a plate of Nasi Goreng Kampung (village-style fried rice) that he found too spicy at a restaurant here, said his tongue felt like it was "bitten by red ants" after eating it.

In his police report, former lorry driver Lau Thiam Huat, 61, said he ordered the dish and a glass of warm water for dinner at a restaurant in Jalan Bukit Timbalan at around 9pm on April 30.
