For something equally scintillating that is on the menu, look no further than Fatt Choy’s Mala Kaarage ($12++). They took the Sichuan staple of La Zi Ji (deep fried chicken bits in mala seasoning & peppercorns) and made it better by making it meatier. They took har jeong kai (prawn paste chicken) and deep fried it, then tossed it in mala chili crisp and some Sichuan peppers. The juicy chicken thigh chunks are delightfully sapid from the shrimp paste that permeated every last bit of chicken, and the savoury spice of the mala in conjunction with the already succulent chicken sets off all the fabulous flavour fireworks. And the crunch from the batter-oh this Mala Karaage was truly phenomenal. Especially when consumed with a cold pint from its sister establishment @goodluckbeerhouse right next door. It was perfect.⠀
