My family tried MALATANG 麻辣烫 for the first time!

Malatang is one of the things I used to eat all the time in China. It's quick, it's cheap, it's delicious and it's SPICYYYYY!! If you've never tried Malatang before, my advice would be: find your nearest Malatang provider and GET YOUR BUTT THERE RIGHT NOW!

It was so much fun taking my parents and my sister for their first ever Malatang experience - they loved it! And this is just the beginning. I'm gonna continue introducing delicious, authentic Chinese food to my family and friends while I'm here in Sydney. Thank goodness we have such an amazing variety of Chinese restaurants to explore. Stay tuned!

Loving this idea! I need to make a pilgrimage to my closest Chinatown and get my Malatang and hotpot fix. I feel like I'm having withdrawals.

[@bolongwu7208]

Nice family, which suburb you live in ? I grew up in parra area

[@sliu8748]

Chatswood, eastwood, cardingford, epping, burwood, ashfield, hurstville. These areas has the most Chinese population in Sydney. Chatswood, Eastwood carlingford epping and hurstville has more Cantonese food. Ashfield has more Shanghai food and burwood is pretty diversified. Si chuan food is pretty popular you can find in any of these suburbs. Parramatta has a pretty famous dong bei food.

[@lbsyc]

Good choice for first timers! I acutally prefer mala tang over hotpot for how customisable it is. The reason why it's not for vegetarian is that usually the soup base has bone stock in it. Some mala tang offer vegetarian soup base but you can always mitigate the issue by ordering the dry base like you did!

[@BlondieinChina]

Good point!! Should have ordered my sister a dry base haha

[@yuhangwang8038]

It's actually originated from NorthEast of China (I saw you once been there), it's named after "Si Chuan" basically because the Northeast people IMAGINE that people in Si Chuan eat like this. However, it's definitely delicious! I used to have it as a midnight snack when I was in school.
