Mala Project specializes in dry hot pot, which is exactly what it sounds like. You still pick your ingredients from a laundry list of options, but instead of cooking them table-side in a boiling vat of liquid, the kitchen mixes them up with slick noodles and spicy sauces. Parts of the menu here aren't for the faint of heart and include everything from frogs to intestines to rooster's "xxx" - also known as testicles. Less adventurous eaters can opt for beef tenderloin, meatballs or chicken wings, plus a smattering of palate-pleasing veggies that include mushrooms, sweet potato, taro root and cauliflower.

- Chinese: "You'll score a sweet deal and beat the crowds if you come for lunch."
- Best for Chinese Because: Because sometimes you want hot pot, but you don't want to deal with the actual hot pot of boiling liquid.
