The latest culinary hit in South Korea is a fiery dish from China ― the hot-pot malatang.
Malatang is well-known for its unique spiciness that makes the tongue numb just as its Chinese characters indicate—"ma" means numb and "la" means spicy.
The trend is popular among Koreans, particularly in their 20s and 30s and female diners.
Compared to spicy foods that were trending previously, such as stir-fried rice cake or fiery chicken, which are heavy in carbohydrates, malatang has a healthier balance, including fresh vegetables and meat.
那些出圈的中国美食
Maltese snowboarder Jenise Spiteri has become the "red bean bun girl" in China after the scene was livestreamed globally that she was taking a crushed, flattened bun out of her competition suit pocket and had a big bite with a huge smile on her face.

Imagine the best Peking Duck you’ve ever had. That crispy, amber-toned skin. That juicy, melt-in-your-mouth breast meat. Those deeply nuanced, deeply aromatic flavors, expertly engineered to send your pleasure sensors spinning. 想象一下你吃过的最美味的北京烤鸭。那酥脆的、泛着琥珀色油光的鸭皮;那多汁的、入口即化的鸭胸肉;那细腻醇厚、回味无穷的肉香,一切都恰到好处,让你的味蕾爆发。
