El Gordo: Gaslamp | San Diego Address

1 week ago | jetsettimes.com | Wendy Hung

0 shot of vodka, we wandered into Gaslamp Quarter – the pulse of San Diego’s nightlife. Drams of mystic, bewitched from the Victoria era. 1 shot of vodka, sandwiched by enthused lesbians. Music pumping, neon lights flashing. Chatty men approached, affectionate couples melting into one another like ice in spirits. 2 shots of vodka soon followed. I felt nothing…but sheer joy. It seeped through the trench that covered my fatigued body – both had been lugged up and down California.

Some friends come and go. Some remain for a lifetime. Some stay long enough to last from one train station to the next, if life was a metro line. Or the yellow ligne un, stretching from La Défense to Château de Vincennes, with a crowded stop at Franklin Roosevelt, right in front of Arc de Triomphe. Some friends come and go, then come back again. As we strolled by the gigantic arc, meandering from one starry restaurant to a stylish concept store: Kith Paris. We didn’t mean to come here.

Mala spicy hot pot isn’t simply a type of food, it’s part of Taiwanese culture. Mala isn’t spicy, but so much more. In Mandarin, “ma” means numb, while “la” is spicy. The blend of two equates to the numbing effect from Sichuan peppercorns and the spiciness from chilies utilized in the broths for spicy hot pot. Hot pot restaurants are prevalent throughout Taiwan, with new brands opening around the corner every month.
