Came to get liang pi, but decided to try something new! This one’s liang ban, basically a cold dish of tossed ingredients you pick out. Prices are by portion and standard like their mala tang - $1 for vegetables, $2 for meats, etc. & of course I went for the spicy version! Was a refreshing mildly spicy bowl, wouldn’t say it’s the best cold toss compared to others but we still really enjoyed it. I liked that you’re able to pick a mix, instead of how the ingredients are usually sold individually. Ingredients were all fresh.
We have a winner for ma la soup! From the Old Chengdu restaurant across the street, this offshoot in People’s Park Complex doles out delicious takeaway-only Ma La Tang at $12 for a portion hearty enough to feed a group of four. Go with the lowest ‘xiao la’ spice level to hit the sweet spot, which sports a hint of herbal fragrance without being too overpowering. Pro tip: Head next door to the hawker centre for seats.
