Malatang (麻辣烫, málàtàng), “spicy hotpot,” is an easily recognizable food trend from China. It is essentially hotpot cooked to your liking with your chosen ingredients (meat, vegetables and noodles). If you haven’t had hotpot before, you may understand this dish as a noodle soup.
What makes this dish so popular is the broth the ingredients are cooked in. It’s a thick, savory broth that is full of umami, so you can imagine anything that is cooked in this broth is going to soak up all the flavors.
At YGF Malatang Dublin 杨国福麻辣烫, we’re not just good at making noodles soups. We also make all our dumplings, steamed buns and savory pancakes in house. It’s not something easy to come by in the heart of Dublin. We are definitely one of the very few authentic Chinese restaurants in town!
