"This bowl of porridge is too hot!"

Translation: 这碗粥太热了！

[sassysteve]

"烫" is better to describe the temperature of a dish.

[Nivkotzer]

What's the pinyin?

[epic0wnag]

烫 tang4

[DereckStJohn]

That's right. The 餐馆 may be太热了 but the 食物 is太烫了。

[Cat722536]

Okay, Goldilocks...

[Kittysdream]

Was also mocked here in Taiwan for describing a dish with 热

[KX3.]

All in good humour, I hope. :) It seems to be a pet peeve if one doesn't use 烫, or, as they would write, 太燙了.

[MasonEM]

Should be 太燙了 for food. (pardon traditional characters)
