3 munchies: Not usually a fan of the tingling, numbing sensation you get from Sichuan peppercorn in a mala dish, but I did enjoy this bowl of medium-spiced mala pot in the heartland of Tampines. With a variety of pick-your-own ingredients to choose from, go for the crunchy lotus root, tender pork slices, and silky glass noodles to soak up the savoury-spicy sauce that was neither overly salty nor oily. The sweet potato noodle seems to be a hit, but I found it to be rough in texture and a tad chewy. #BurppleBestofTampines
