Dinner / 24 Aug 2018: mushroom - mala hotpot.
[Clarke Quay] I really like the soups here—think of their Wild Mushroom broth as an earthier, more flavourful layer upon their regular pork bone base, while their Spicy Ma La won’t blow your head off like those at China-style hotpots; it’s very drinkable yet still obviously tasting of ma la.
