Vegan Mao Cai

@vikas review of this had me too intrigued to not try it. I was my no means hungry at this point, so when this monster bowl of spicy hot oil with a mountain of ingredients arrived I was very intimidated. It was delicious, my toppings of lotus root, tofu, potato noodles, and cabbage were nicely soaked in the hot spicy Szechuan oil mildly numbing my tongue and waking up my senses all at the same time. The chewiness of the potato noodles was so nice, as well as the crunchiness of the lotus root. It was not too spicy in my opinion, but the amount of oil and Szechuan definitely wreaks a bit of havoc on the stomach. I am sad to say I did not get anywhere close to finishing this dish:( #hugeportions

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This lit my mouth on fire 🔥 Mao Cai is a traditional hot pot dish from the Sichuan province in China 🇨🇳 People here are fearless when it comes to the mouth numbing Sichuan peppercorn, a truly unique feeling, that doesn’t hit your tongue like a hot chili pepper does but instead heats and numbs your soul. And the fact that it’s basically hot oil with veggies also helps! The best part of this dish is that you choose what you want in it and then they add all the toppings like parsley, peanuts, sesame seeds and green onion. We got sliced potatoes, lotus root, tofu, and mushrooms. It was amazing! If you’re visiting #singapore this is hands down one of the best things you can try! #bestof
