Eating mala xiang guo (麻辣香锅) is perfect during the raining season. Wan Xing Ma La Xiang Guo place in the North East for supper that closes at 3am. They serve Sichuan dishes such as laziji (辣子鸡) and grilled fish (重庆烤鱼) too. All in air-conditioned comfort.

You can self-select from a wide spread of ingredients. So I got my usual sliced beef, lotus root, potato slices, flat beancurd skin (千张), kangkung, pork, enoki mushrooms, black fungus and luncheon meat among others. I like how they serve large intestines here too.

For my carbs, it’s the default instant noodles that’s used by every MLXG stall. Can someone tell me where can I buy the brand they use?

I didn’t take a lot for each ingredient but the bill for this came up to a whopping $23.30 for ONE person which was a bit of a ripoff. Perhaps I was paying the premium for air conditioned comfort.

The sauce itself was spicy, fragrant and a bit numbing cause I always request for more peppercorns (加麻). At least they didn’t add heaps of garlic.

With MLXG, enjoy your daily intake of oil, salt and MSG in one meal. If you must, you can always request for less oil and less salt.
