Not all Ma La are gold - yes, and we sometimes have to learn it the hard way (by over-ordering, that is). Said to have lip-smacking Ma La soup, we were super excited in getting the Spicy level, but found it fall short of our expectation. The not-so-cheap price tag also made it more difficult for us to see the bright side of this ma la shop. Well, they do have a pretty nice pork bone flavvour towards the end of the bowl, but nope, we are here for mala not tonkotsu ramen *sob*. If you are a fan of mild ma la hot pot, this might be a place for you, but not something that a hardcore ma la eater (yes, we are!) would come back for.
