Since its opening, Mala Art has won awards such as "Shenzhen Ivy Restaurant" and "Samsung Taste Award" in the 2016 Chongqing Best Hot Pot Selection Event. Its production has indeed lived up to these titles and popularity.
The base of the pot is made with a variety of selected chili peppercorns and 13 kinds of spices, and the strong spicy flavor is tempered by the softer spiciness, stir-fried with bean paste, ginger and garlic and chicken essence, and then poured in hot red oil to stimulate the aroma of the mixed base. Different from the practice of centralized production, packaging and air delivery to the store at the headquarters, the base of the spicy art is fried on the spot by an experienced Chongqing stir-fry chef in the store, and you can smell the slightly choked chili pepper when you eat.
When the bottom of the pot is served to the table, there is also a large piece of slowly melting white yak butter, for those who like butter hot pot, this piece of butter can be described as the soul of the bottom of the pot, the oil aroma is particularly mellow and heavy, and the red oil is wrapped in the meat slices when shabu-shabu, and the aroma is overflowing. However, some dishes such as spicy art numbers are more prominent in the bottom of the pot or meatballs, and diners with light tastes may feel that the texture is thick and lose their appetite quickly, so oil-absorbing dishes are not recommended. The spiciness of the spicy name is heroically similar to that of Chongqing, and diners with average spicy tolerance can choose slightly spicy; In addition, in order to cater for customers who are not too spicy and want to try it, there is also a slightly spicy option.
Excellent freshness of dishes is also the characteristic of Mala, not only the selection of materials is good, but also the ingredients are real, such as beef balls and other dishes The meat is firm and elastic, and there are few additives such as starch; Its main dish, rice field hairy tripe, is purchased from Chongqing every day and transported by air, which is large and crispy; As for the fish that is frozen in a general hot pot restaurant and served on ice, it is freshly killed in this place to ensure freshness.
Located next to the Jinbi Hotel, Mala Art is low-key but easy to find. When you look at the gray brick walls and the façade of the couplet wooden doors, you already know that this is a classic and modern style restaurant. The space design is a fusion of simple and simple and fresh literary and artistic style, bright and clean, which can arouse the good feelings of young diners. However, the ventilation is not good, and there will be a slight smell of chili peppers in the store during peak dining.
It should be noted that there are more diners after six o'clock every night, even in the off-season of hot pot such as spring and summer, you need to queue up for a seat, wait for more than half an hour to deliver dishes, and you can use the delicious official account to check the queue reminder. Mala Art pays more attention to service and training, and from time to time you can see the manager or foreman pointing and reminding the new service staff to make more comprehensive and meticulous service, but when the customer flow is large, there are still omissions and the speed of serving cannot keep up. Due to the large flow of people, small tables are not accepted for reservations during peak dining periods, and if necessary, you can call half a day in advance to reserve a private room. In addition, there is a 3-hour free parking ticket available in the store, so if you are driving, please be sure to ask for it.
