Taste is ok. Too oily even when asked for less oil.

The food tastes terrible, very oily and watery. The spicy hot pot is really a failure! It's not something that just mixes hot pot base ingredients into spicy hot pot. Please

The spicy chicken is very different and not my favorite, but you can still give it a try

My favourite mala spot. Must add coriander and egg to every portion of noodle. You will never regret. I wanted to do delivery but foodpanda cannot. It keep saying restaurant not open for delivery. So sad.
