| - This is a Chinese malatang place, offering mouth-numbing spicy build-your-own-bowl noodle soups. Great for a quick meal or a spice challenge. You can sit-in or take-away.
Upon entering the restaurant, you will be greeted by a dozen fortune cats and a plant, which is quite extravagant. There is a table with two seats near the front, which are their window seats I suppose.
Other than that, you'll probably find yourself in an empty room with a bunch of cat statues. Just continue inside and someone will come and greet you. They will ask you if this is your first time here, and will explain how the place works if you would like an explanation.
You start by picking up a basin and fill it up with any ingredients that you would like in your noodle soup. A selection of seafoods (think fish balls), vegetables, and noodles are available for your taking, at $1.89 per 100 grams (subject to change).
Then you head over to the counter where they'll ask you what degree of spice you want (no spice, a little spicy, medium, spicy, and very spicy).
At this point, you can choose to add meats for your bowl for $2 per portion, and then finish it off with some garnishes.
Drinks are available, though they are sitting on a bookshelf beside the cashier.
I ended up with a bowl for $9 after tax including one portion of meat, but I was being conservative. The medium spicy (50%) was pretty spicy, but don't be afraid to be adventurous.
Note: Washrooms are surprisingly clean and quite spacious.
