Absolutely delishhh! Hidden in the food court of the Faubourg, there’s this restaurant that serves ‘Ma la tang’ — a street version of hotpot that originated in Sichuan — beats any hotpot whatsoever I’ve tasted in Canada. When ordering, you fill up a list of food you want in your ‘ma la tang’. For example, I had glass noodles, fresh noodles, shrimp balls, potato, pork, fish, fresh tofu, fried tofu, and more. The complete list encompasses a lot of exciting items for which I would definitely come back for. One thing though, despite my fake Sichuan training(ex-gf forced me to eat spicy), I didn’t want to(and probably couldn’t) handle that heat. I took out half the sichuan chili/peppercorn paste — so ask for half the spiciness unless you wanna sacrifice two thirds of your taste buds. And now, the broth is what makes this place a solid 5⁄5. It was flawless: epic flavours that came together and complemented each other very well. And for all this deliciousness, it came to about 10 $ after tax… Ridiculously cheap and filled me up for a good 18h. I think I’m heading back there after wrapping up this review… which is about now.
