Michelle Martin got that numbing feeling and loved it at Yang Guo Fu at Bugis Village. It is all about the broth at this popular casual Chinese chain that got it start in the icy northeastern Chinese city of Harbin. 6000 stores later, the brand has landed in Singapore at two locations way; Bugis and Singpost Centre. If you are a Mala fan, choose the highest level of spice, load up from over 60 choices of fresh ingredients from pork balls to cuts of lamb and beef, and pile on the house-made noodles designed to stay firm for that almost ramen-like consistency. The joy comes from sipping away at the fiery broth made hearty with a central note of beef. It's a recipe that's garnered a strong global following.  Once the numbing subsided Michelle tried and enjoyed the comforting tomato broth, which those who do not have the fortitude for mala can choose for their soup-base.
