In this video, I headed down to Chinatown to do a Mala Hotpot Challenge! Ri Ri Hong Mala Xiang Guo is a hawker stall at Chinatown that specialises in Mala Hotpot. Mala refers to the spicy and numbing flavour from the Sichuan peppercorns used in Sichuan cuisine, while Mala Xiang Guo is the style of cooking where a variety of ingredients like assorted meats and vegetables are stir fried in Mala seasoning, usually served with rice or noodles.With my giant bowl in hand, I ordered 4kg worth of meat and vegetables, including beef tripe, sliced chicken, sliced beef, lotus root, noodles, peanuts, shitake mushrooms, tofu skin and b ok choy. The result was an intimidating bowl filled with a wealth of ingredients drenched in a deep red Mala oil and topped with fresh coriander.Initially, the spice level was bearable for this 4kg bowl of Mala Hotpot Noodles, but the numbing sensation came almost immediately. As time went on however, the spice started getting to me and the physical heat of the area and dish further compounded my suffering. Probably due to Monster Curry, I managed to power through at a decent pace and completed it in under 40 minutes.Head down to Ri Ri Hong Mala Xiang Guo for all your Mala goodness!Visit this Mala Hotpot at:32 New Market RoadPeoples Park Complex Food Centre #01-1036 & #01-1152Singapore 050032For those that are interested in doing Invisible Braces:https://bit.ly/zermattneo-yt Use code ZERMATT100 for special discount!Connect with me!
