"For when a game day watch party or festive gathering of friends calls for something spicy, look to Mala, which features party platters of many of its beloved menu items. Dishes like the kung pao chicken and twice cooked pork are $75 and large enough for five. Add sides like Yangzhou fried rice or sautéed baby bok chow for $60 each, and a gallon of house special plum juice for $28." - Megha McSwain
