I can almost hear the sound of the plane taking off when you said "How good can authentic Sichuan food be like?" (but then i realized it's the car passing by), wah, you'll really need a super thanks for that if you have the Sichuan arc.
@@earweatwry46u7uy5i68 good eyes, but that video is actually a stock footage, you would be able to find that shot on other videos. But yeah it's definitely likely he's going Sichuan Chengdu, haha
The reason why these Chinese Restaurants in Singapore are so expensive is because the owners just sub the RMB prices to SGD prices. So Mapo Tofu in Sichuan costs 15 RMB and the owners just switched the RMB to SGDs and since a lot of people are willing to pay for them, the prices stick. Also the portions in China would have been twice the size most of the times unless you're at those very tourist trap areas. Source: Went to Sichuan recently.
I think the quality is very worth the price from the looks of it. I also heard from some other show featuring kway chap saying that the manpower and time effort to prepare the intestines made it as costly as a lobster.
Where u study last time? I also graduated from secondary school 23 years ago. I still remember the old clementi interchange with the McDonald’s and arcade and the fountain outside.
This place has been there at gantral mall (used to be cityvibe) for ages now, I think close to 10+ years...! Been there since the mall was built as far as I remember
@alderic. : Happy with your explanation/ scope w.r.t. including Sichuan cuisine (and not just MLXG)... Will you be travelling to Sichuan/ Chongqing, to try the perceived best-of-the-best "Shikai / Bankai-class" Sichuan cuisine, that provides you an Authentic 'Ahegao' "O face"? (And! To be able to answer your (rhetorical?) question on "How good can authentic Sichuan food be like"? ==> please do try!)
the easy answer would be Yamamoto's and Aizen's. the real answer is any shikai really, as long as the bankai is Zabimaru. I'll come back to the mala part of that analogy at the end of the series.
As you mentioned during the hits of the 干锅, washing/cleaning intestines is a delicate process, not to mention fairly laborious. The markup is still pretty steep but perhaps you can assume they pay their workers well? 😅 Hence the good quality of food and service. Anyway thanks, now I’m craving fried intestines at 10:20pm. I have to go to Old Airport to see if the uncle is still selling fried intestines!

At 0:36, the scene there seems to be Chengdu's People's Park area. So definitely he's at least going to Sichuan Chengdu.

likewise they have to pay rent and workers in sgd..
20 years ago?! how old are you really Alderic?
Bro with saiyan blood. Age much slower
The giggles when you ate the mapo 😏
Fella just dropped a subtle flex about graduating >20 years ago to rub it in about his immortal looks. 10/10 will humble brag again @Alderic
You should try Chen's mapo tofu or Shishen Hanten's mapo tofu if you are gonna include michelin stuff in this series!
I second this. Iron Chef Chen Kenichi would be smiling up there
shisen hanten is closed for revamp unfortunately. would have loved to include that.
great video as always! your series has me on a mala spree recently!
See his expression compared to the last three vids… you know what’s the rating already 😂

Wah I really hope got sichuan arc
Sichuan Arc coming..
First time see you chuckle just by tasting the food
You should also try Chen Mapo at Star Vista and Shisen Hanten (Michelin star) at Orchard
foreshadowing for Sichuan episode is crazyyy
While I watch this , I was eating chicken mushroom noodle , but I feel convinced to having a Mala
Nicevideo
Some of Sichuan pickled vegetable sour fish soup , some of them adding a dried tuberose flower to adding an element of sweetness also fragrance boost
oh tai er does this I think!
Where u study last time? I also graduated from secondary school 23 years ago. I still remember the old clementi interchange with the McDonald’s and arcade and the fountain outside.
57度麻辣香锅 at Wisteria mall. The 干煸肥肠 is excellent.
i love it when you take a bite then you umchio, very very funny!
Are you going to a plane to China to experience Bankai?
Since you are going to restaurants, go to sichuan dou hua. Guarantee 3 plates
+1
the instance the reference to anime powerscaling be like :" wait wait wait, WHA DA HELLLLLL"
for sour pickles fish soup : - try asking for change of fish instead of the classic market dory fish....
That’s not even dory fish
This place has been there at gantral mall (used to be cityvibe) for ages now, I think close to 10+ years...! Been there since the mall was built as far as I remember
Yeah, i grew up in clementi, i remember it was there when i was in sec sch
oh city vibee. that's a name that I've forgotten.
yeah, the cityvibe was such a nostalgic place, the current mixue used to be ananas cafe and there used to be an arcade and LAN as well...
Possible to do a NUS/NTU episode where u try best of NUS (PGP, Deck) and best of NTU (tamarind, idk what else)
Oya this place is indeed decent too. Had it once but never revisited because pricing is Abit steep ngl
干锅回肠， the price probably goes into the labour washing the intestines.
Nevertheless it seems priced out of a neighbourhood eatery.
is that time of the week again boiis 🔥
lezgeddit
for a moment, i thought u were gonna appear in sichuan airport. lol.
Ow yea hope your channel grows
I SCREAMED at 11:26
first time seeing you chuckle upon eating sth hahahaha so cute. Im straight, no homo bro
Oh wow i live near clementi and never been there before lol
Everytime I walk past, I see the price, I continue walking...
Hi Alderic, can you try Jia Xiang Mala Hotpot Mala Tang 家乡麻辣香锅麻辣烫 at People’s Park Complex
First time I realised you didn’t order a bowl of plain rice to go with mapo tofu since 1st episode of the mala series.
You should out Xin Peng Chinese Restaurant in yishun, authentic and affordable

I'm just waiting for alderic to go to Sichuan.
You are gonna fly to Sichuan aren't you
07:18 "oi yo" lmao what kind of old man sound is that? lololol
Bankai is what i will do in toilet when the spicyness level is extreme. BANKAI!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shisen hanten, their mapotofu is most godlike, and order their dan dan mian to go with it!
Cause they got michelin star ma
Alderic u got so old meh graduate 20+ years ago O_O
Handsome mala bro
Bro it's okay we don't need you to go Sichuan just for this series, it's too big and ex, Singapore can alr!
bro came instantly from the mapo tofu
My wife ask which Shikai can beat Bankai
the easy answer would be Yamamoto's and Aizen's. the real answer is any shikai really, as long as the bankai is Zabimaru.
I'll come back to the mala part of that analogy at the end of the series.
I don’t know how can you eat the tofu on its own. Needs to be eaten with rice, for me,
Does a "Best Mala" series but accidentally makes a "Best Mapo Tofu" series along the way
Not gonna patronize for that price
3 plates zhen de mah
