The pleasure and pain of Sichuan peppercorns come blazingly alive at TTDI's new halal-minded mala specialist.
The Malatoop Bowl is available at four spice levels - Baby, Okey, Pasti and Betul-Betul Malatoop. The Okey is perfect for many of us, burning our taste buds without killing them off. Try the Seafood Combo, heartier than expected, loaded with prawns, lobster balls, mussels and much, much more over instant noodles, the ideal rainy-evening dinner to bring fire to our bellies (RM24.90). Malatoop manages to strike the tasty balance between heat and flavour, ensuring we can enjoy our bowl to the fullest - this is, after all, a meal, not a challenge.
The Malatoop Wings are a worthwhile side, freshly fried, crisply battered and juicy-fleshed, also offered in different flavours. The Sticky Mala is the should-try, addictively sweet-spicy (RM15.90 for six pieces).
36, Jalan Datuk Sulaiman, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Daily, 11am-8pm.
