Don’t knock it till you try it! This combo might just be our new favourite way of enjoying Mala. The numbing Mala with bright, sweetness from canned lychees are a match made in heaven.

Top with the star of the show, @kuhlbarra’s Barramundi Fillet and you’ll be in the good books for the new year! 

Designed to soak up all of the stew’s umami goodness, this tender fillet has already been deboned and descaled, ensuring ease not just in cooking but also in eating.
