Restaurants I go back to 2. Sichuan Gourmet Burlington, MA.

Mala Lamb since it’s Easter weekend. I tried their brown rice and it was excellent. ‘Ma la’ comes from two Chinese characters meaning, respectively, ‘numbing’ 麻 and ‘spicy (hot)’ 辣 and describes the sensation in the mouth the dish creates. They got the la part down pat since it was really spicy but I think they forgot the ma part since there was no numbing part present. Not sure what the protein was since the only thing I could taste was spicy. Their prices have gone up again.
