Soup Mastery: Eating Mala Tang Abroad|A Fragrant and Numbing Delight, A Great Choice to Supplement Vegetables and Vitamins!

Recently, I realized that Korean cuisine lacks vegetables. After a few days, I felt like I was running low on vitamins! To make up for the lack of vegetable intake, I decided to have some Mala Tang on this rainy day. This Mala Tang is really delicious. The broth is rich and has a fragrant, numbing spiciness that warms your stomach with the first sip. The best part is that you can add as many vegetables as you like. Spinach, enoki mushrooms, and baby bok choy—pile them all in and enjoy a satisfying meal! Occasionally having a bowl of hot Mala Tang not only satisfies your taste buds but also replenishes your vegetable intake in one go. It's perfect for someone like me who doesn't get enough vegetables! The restaurant is almost entirely filled with Koreans. You can tell how popular it is with the locals by the way they skillfully pick their vegetables! The most interesting part is seeing people sweating profusely from the spiciness, constantly wiping their sweat with tissues, yet still looking satisfied and continuing to eat. That's the charm of Mala Tang! The overall atmosphere is lively, like experiencing an authentic food adventure on the streets of Korea.
