Off-menu and off the charts, this brought me back to KL with its intoxicatingly smoky fragrance and aggressively rich flavour very reminiscent of Malaysian-style Hokkien Mee. The thick, sinuous noodles were stained glossy in a sweet and salty dark soya sauce and were delicious on their own. Add a liberal handful of freshly fried crisp and crunchy pork lard cubes though, and this stuff becomes thoroughly addictive. The bouncy, chewy abalone complemented the noodles in terms of texture well enough, but wasn't particularly necessary when the core elements were already strong enough on their own.

Some might argue this is too plain and simplistic, but I thoroughly enjoyed the subtly rich umami permeating the well-cooked grains of Taiwanese pearl rice from what must have been liberal amounts of lard oil used. The glistening sunny side up drizzled with soya sauce was just adding fuel to the artery clogging fire, but I more than welcomed it. This rice pairs especially well in combination with any of @fattchoyeatinghouse 's side dishes.

Translucent strips of Iberico pork belly greedily soak up the umami mixture of black bean paste and chilli garlic oil, the combination of salty and spicy really amps up the appetite, making this a good appetiser to start the meal with.

Karaage makes perfect bedfellows with beer, and mala takes that pairing up a notch with the numbing spice combined with the juicy crunch of fried chicken to make the subsequent sip of an ice cold one feel even more refreshing. They use chicken thigh here, which I favour over breast simply because it's more succulent, and the shrimp paste marinade adds a pleasing underlying funk to each bite.

Brand new on @fattchoyeatinghouse menu are these molten beauties which remind me of Korean mayak eggs. These soft and jammy bad boys are doused in an addictive house-made chilli oil and garnished with flying fish roe. Order up a serving of their pork lard fried rice to accompany it for a super sinful combination.
