SiChuan Spicy Noodle Soup

I am tired.

One evening (2 months ago), after our class, my classmates and I went to Peach Garden, Jalan Song for supper. We were having hot and spicy cravings.

The Sichuan stall is located at the side of Peach Garden and it is easily spotted. It is very near the Hong Kong Cha Kueh stall. You might spot it with your nose. The hot and spicy soup’s aroma is very strong and thus, you can immediately tell the degree of spiciness this soup kicks!

This is the Sichuan Spicy Noodle Soup (aka Ma Lak Mien).  The spicy noodle soup consists of dried red hot chilli paste soup, with handmade noodle, topped with prawns, lean chicken meat, preserved long beans and local parsley. Basically, it’s something like the Sarawak Laksa, minus the coconut milk, chilli paste instead of prawn paste and much much much spicier.

There are 3 degrees of spiciness to choose from, Da Lak (spiciest), Zhong Lak (is spicy) and Xiao Lak (just spicy).

If you’re a hot and spicy kicker, go for Da Lak.

If you’re just okay with spicy food, go for Zhong Lak.

If you don’t know what is spicy, go for Xiao Lak.

(I guarantee, you need to standby at least 2 glasses or more drinks for this challenge)

The top right bowl of spicy noodle soup is Xiao Lak. Compare the transparency of the soup, with the Da Lak on the bottom left bowl of spicy noodle soup. That’s a vast difference! I can imagine the number of tablespoons of chilli paste used for Da Lak soup.

This is the Sichuan Pork Ribs Spicy Noodle Soup (aka Pai Kut Ma Lak Mien). The soup base is the same as the normal spicy noodle soup, just different ingredient to with. My classmate, Alice, specifically ordered her noodle with less soup so that the noodles taste spicier =/

Sweet & Salty Hong Kong Cha Kueh @ RM3.00

Alice ordered this super special Cha Kueh (fried carrot cake). Normally, the cha kueh we order from the Hong Kong Cha Kueh stall is either spicy or non-spicy. Alice, on the other hand, ordered for “SPECIAL” one – even when they have no such “SPECIAL” recipe. She ordered the fella to fry it SWEET and SALTY =_____________=|||

Abuthen, of course it tasted weird.

Now that finals are over, I miss suppering with my classmates. They always order the extraordinary food to try.
