Moderators invis Posted December 7, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2018 This is the 1st Mala Xiang Guo Burger 麻辣香锅汉堡 in Singapore. Okay, because I am involved in the creation of it, I shall keep the “self-praise” to a minimum and leave it to you to do the tasting and provide the verdict. How did this all come about? So I am part of the upcoming Toggle programme “Foodie Makeover 美食大翻新” which is about transforming a familiar dish into something else. The programme will be aired near year February 7th 2019, so look out for it. Somehow my immediate response was, ”I am going to do a Mala Xiang Guo makeover.” There was something to do with this craze with the spicy dish I had a couple of months back ago, in which I would always head down a random stall and order too many things in a bowl. (Always hit beyond $15.) Plus, I thought that there were several Mala products in the market from Mala Chips, Mala Rice Dumpling, to Mala Pizza, but nobody ever did a Mala Xiang Guo something.' Our aim was actually quite ‘simple’. We wanted the signature and most representative ingredients of Mala Xiang Guo to go right inside the burger. I was the first to raise, ”Must have luncheon meat”, while we also thought that sliced pork, lotus root and mushrooms cannot be missed. The initial version contained enoki mushrooms, but we switched that out to oyster mushrooms because those caught in the teeth easily while chomping down the burger. Next was the bread. We couldn’t have an ‘ordinary’ bun as it needed to look good for photos. RED, RED, RED, had to be red to represent the spiciness and fieriness. And so, we specially ordered a deep red (slightly purplish) bun made with extracted beetroot juice. Healthier with no artificial colourings. The mala aioli drizzled all over was created from scratch – not from a pre-made package but a combination of several ingredients. So there we have it, a Mala Xiang Guo Burger. The spiciness was one that was quite debatable and we went through several versions of it. In the end we chose something just moderately spicy, but still able to set the tongue tickling. At the end of the day, what is most important is that it captures the essence of Mala Xiang Guo of 麻, 辣, 鲜, 香 – numbing, spicy, fresh and fragrant; and should provide that satisfying feeling. It is different sitting on the other side of the fence now, because I wanted to create something people would enjoy eating ultimately. So the Mala Xiang Guo Burger has made its debut, available as a set with fries at $16.80 (No, I don’t earn commission from it. LOL) Go try it at GRUB Bishan Park, and let me know – great place to hang out with family and friends by the way to enjoy the nature. https://t.me/Invisssss https://discord.gg/PvPTrye https://www.instagram.com/invisman_/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
