Not too sure about the affiliation between this stall and the restaurant sharing the same name across the street but decided to get from this stall with raving reviews. Just like MLXG, you get to choose the ingredients you want and that includes these glistening strips of springy guo 粿. Xiao la level of spiciness was chosen after being forewarned. Unfortunately, the kick from the mala spices was minimal and we felt that the usual mala fragrance was significantly watered down by the broth. Instead of getting the rice, we bought man tou from the opposite stall. Well, it was not tooooo bad.
Oh, the sichuan chicken in chilli oil was great as there was a fine balance between the spiciness from the mala spices and black vinegar. The sesame oil also added another dimension to the overall taste profile. So I guess the sichuan chicken side dish saved the dish?
