[MANY OUTLETS, SINGAPORE] Finally tried our very own rendition of mala stir-fry or soup, but I might be saying an unpopular opinion here 🙃

As much as the ingredients were fresh, noodles were done right and the sauce was flavourful and spicy, it's really quite expensive 😲 especially if you were to get the potato and lotus root to fry. The freshly fried lotus root and potato chips were indeed addictive, especially with the special spice powder, but the weight of the whole potato or lotus root was equivalent to about $7-10 each 🤯 I cannot imagine paying so much just for lotus root or potato chips 😂 my bowl was like $30 hahaha how do students afford them??

Still, I'm glad to have supported local businesses and tried it, but will I go again? Maybe not, there are other much cheaper mala stalls that are still as good. The lotus root or potato chips might be unique, but it's not enough to entice me.

What do you all think?
