It's upstairs of Baker's Cottage. Narrow space with seatings limited to ~4 per table or 7 per round table. This is a china-style food restaurant mainly focusing on spices, mala dishes instead of the hotpots. Had their spicy sliced beef with extra noodles(+RM4). The portion of dishes here is usually for sharing, not much ala carte choices for single person, unless you are a big eater; best come here in 2-4pax. Menu is all via online QR scan, some don't have English translation for the drinks section, maybe can enquire the staff? For the food, I will say it is delicious. Taste is on point, with some numbing sensation. However, for the price(RM42), the amount of meat is rather lackluster. It contained lots of bean sprouts (the fat juicy Korean types) which is not bad. But I'd expect more since another version I've had contained beef slices, bean sprouts, blood cubes, enoki mushrooms. I guess this version is watered down to cater to local tastebuds. Because meat slices are thin, of course will be tender. There's option for less spicy, less oil, or the opposite, therefore can be very beginner friendly for those trying such dishes for the first time. However, this is not the place to bring kids (below 12)/toddlers. It would've overwhelmed their already sensitive nose and tastebuds. Would definitely recommend this to other and come again with friends to try their mapo tofu, pickled pig ears and...

Tried: Mala fried chicken - the pieces of fried chicken were crispy and slightly on the salty side and they went perfectly well with the crispy bits of szechuan peppercorns, peanuts and spring onions. 2 Cumin fried lamb- Another delightful dish of bonelesstender pieces of lamb fried in cumin. Thumbs up Seaweed salad - this is quite similar to our kerabu. Pieces of konbu and dried chilli in vinegary sauce. Refreshing Stir fried sour cabbage - My favourite . Stir fried cabbage in black vinegar sauce with chilli. I can go on eating this . The cabbage was lightly fried and therefore still retained their and the sourness from the black vinegar and the crunch from the cabbage made this a very refreshing dish 5 Mao’s braised pork - a delightful savoury dish of tender pieced of pork belly with potatoes . Very yummy 6 Mala tofu - one of the best mala tofu that i have ever tasted. The szechuan peppercorn in mala gravy lent its flavours well to the soft creamy tofu. . A mouth numbing dish though Stir fried burdock with wood ear fungus - a bit too bland for my liking but i suppose this is what the monks in chinese monasteries eat . 8 . The service - very good. The cashier ran after us ( we were already at the doorstep of the nearby digital mall )to hand us our rm20 note that we had accidentally left...
