DAVID’S MASTER HOT POT CELEBRATES ITS FIRST BIRTHDAY WITH REVAMPED FAVOURITE

David’s Master Hot Pot celebrates the first anniversary of its Swanston St Flagship store next month and to mark the occasion, the Sichuan master is revamping its very own Malatang! Malatang fans will finally be able to drink David’s signature broth, with Chef David Li adapting the recipe to reduce the oiliness, while maintaining the authenticity of the traditional Sichuan recipe. Translating to “spicy, numbing soup”, Malatang originated from the Sichuan region of China and is a staple of the menu at David’s Master Pot. A popular Sichuan street food, Malatang is a convenient and express version of traditional hot pot experiences.

But this isn’t your typical Malatang. Developed by renowned Sichuan chef David Li, David’s Master Pot Malatang is comprised of authentic beef tallow oil made from Australian-raised Angus Beef and premium Sichuan spices and chillies. Made on-site in Richmond, the Malatang is brewed fresh on a flame that has never gone out since it’s creation in 2018. Offering multiple soup broth and stir fry options, David’s Master Pot allows customers to prepare their very own customisable bowl of Malatang! Customers can select over 100 fresh ingredients, from $3.68 per 100g and four soup bases (Signature Spicy Soup, Pork Bone Soup, Golden Pickled Soup and Vegan Tomato Soup) and two stir-fry options (Signature Stir-Fry Spicy Pot and Sichuan Spicy Dry Pot). The ability to adjust spice levels means that everyone can enjoy a mouthwatering bowl, from mildly spicy to face meltingly hot.
