Straight up bad experience. Firstly, the price goes by weight. I ordered 2 meats, 2 noodles, and 1 vegetable, and it cost me 16 dollars. Since it goes by weight, the cashier added the weight of the bowl into the price, turning my small meal into 16 dollars. Furthermore, she skipped my order and cooked for the person behind me. I understand there was only one chef at the time, but it should go by order. I got my order after three people behind me received their food.

5/5 Dry Mala: Okay, so we thought we were brave ordering spicy dry Mala. Turns out, "spicy" in their world means "nuclear reactor meltdown." This stuff was like a spicy, numbing tornado that swept through my mouth. I felt like my taste buds were doing the limbo under a fiery hoop. The meat was still tender, but it was completely overshadowed by the sheer force of the spices.
We tried to cool it down with some water, but it was like trying to put out a forest fire with a squirt gun. By the end of the meal, I was sweating profusely, my tongue felt like sandpaper, and I was considering a career change to become a professional fire-eater. But hey, at least it was cheap (15 for 2 pax portion).
