Tried out a new Ma La place with my ma la buddy Irene! We got both the dry and soup dishes as they pride themselves for using a mixture of herbs and pork bones for their broth.

We ordered the spiciest available, level 4 (超级大辣) but was quite disappointed that it wasn’t as spicy and fragrant as we hoped, and it felt comparable to just the medium spice level of other stalls. Ingredients were really fresh and stir fried thoroughly, though I really wanted stronger and saltier flavours. The prices by weight here are slightly higher than others too, but a plus point is that they offer more affordable sets with a combination of pre-chosen ingredients - 1 pax at $6.80, $13.80 for 2 and $21.80 for 3.

My favourites are still hands down Ri Ri Hong in Chinatown and You Ma You La in Ang Mo Kio!
