SeoulSeongsuChineseSpicy Hot Pot Soup (Malatang)

A place where the side dishes might be better than the main dish? Still, it's tasty

Notes

  • Honestly, the butter gan-pung-gi (sweet and spicy fried chicken) and yurin-gi (fried chicken in a tangy sauce) were better than the mala tang (Sichuan numbing-spicy soup) here. The mala tang itself isn't all that intense.
  • The portions are smaller than you'd expect if you're a big eater. It's a good alternative to izakaya oden (Japanese fish cake stew) for people who come in the evening to chat over highballs.
  • The interior and exterior give off a Kowloon Walled City or Hong Kong kind of feel, which was really satisfying
