THE MIND-NUMBING MEDLEY FROM SICHUAN. Taking inspiration from the heatwave of Mala 麻辣 frenzy that flowed from Sichuan down through Southeast Asia, we wanted to create a snack that would challenge how Mala 麻辣 snacks were perceived. Picking common ingredients found in Mala 麻辣 hotpots, and ‘xiang-guo’s (literally translated : ‘fragrant wok’), we curated an ensemble involving our signature fish skin crisps, fluffy tofu (or beancurd) skin, and three types of mushrooms — shiitake, oyster and shimeji. Mmm.. Settle for less? nah.
