Malatang (simplified Chinese: 麻辣烫; traditional Chinese: 麻辣燙; pinyin: málàtàng; lit. 'numb spicy hot') is a common type of Chinese street food.[1] It originated in Sichuan, China, but it differs mainly from the Sichuanese version in that the Sichuanese version is more like what in northern China would be described as hot pot.
