Do not judge a book by its cover. Was thinking this mala/hot & spicy will be no kick since the colour is so light (unlike the tomyum one). But wow the spice really burn your throat as you swallow the soup down (definitely some HOT stuff here). Tasted a bit like chicken rice chilli but a soupy version. The banmian are all handmade and you can really taste the difference. I like how they have meatballs inside my banmian soup. It's a really hearty bowl of soup. Perfect for the rainy weather. For those who can't take spicy food... You have been warned!
