Open on the mapHow Malatang works
Grab a bowl and pick your favorite ingredients at the buffet, from noodles, veggies and mushrooms to meat and seafood. You pay by weight, on my visit €3.19 per 100 g.
Then choose your soup base, like classic beef bone broth, tomato, tom yum or mushroom broth, plus your spice level. Or skip the soup and go for Mala with a spicy chili pepper mix.
Tasty and quick
Super tasty, high in protein and low in calories. Great for vegetarians and pescatarians too. When it's not too busy, it's really quick. Heads up: your bowl fills up really fast. Leftovers? Just take them to go.
My verdict
The crowd is international, it feels a bit like being on vacation. My tip: use the extra sauces for dipping fish, meat or mushrooms. For my visit I give 5 out of 5 stars. Life is beautiful.
