Gong Yuan Ma La Tang

I have noticed this stall for a very long time now, possibility almost a year or more when it opened its doors at the Hub. But when they expanded and opened another outlet near my place, I thought I had to give it a try, and wow. I am amazed.

Unfortunately my wife and I loved the fried versions of Ma La dishes and our dear Gong Yuan Ma La Tang is anything buy fried. In fact their boil their dishes and apply their signature Ma La sauce over the boiled ingredients.

It felt like a Yong Tau Foo dish with Ma La sauce drizzled over, and I must say that we were pleasantly surprised. It was so good, that we ate it for lunch three days in a row. The ironic thing was, it was boiled and not fried. We have yet to transition from the dry version to the soup version, but I bet it is probably even better.

The spiciness level of the Ma La is manageable, and there was no big small medium spiciness that most of the Ma La stalls would ask their patrons. This was just one size fits all spiciness and it was just right. Out of 10, it is a 8 for me.
