Certainly not so as there was barely any queue at all at the popular Ri Ri Hong Mala Xiang Guo during dinner time. Perhaps it was due to the less crowded atmosphere that the chef was able to control the quality of the mala xiang guo much better and this time round it was much better than previous visits. Each ingredient was coated evenly with the secret spice blend and it was also not over the salty scale. However, they might have adjusted the spice level slightly and for most spicy eaters, you should get a minimum 中辣 and above to feel the heat. In addition, there’s still a pool of oil at the bottom even after requested for less oil, so probably you should just ask for much lesser oil in future.
