因為不同於辣炒年糕、火雞辣年糕等高碳水辣食，麻辣燙有肉有菜，營養更均衡。
Compared to spicy foods that were trending previously, such as stir-fried rice cake or fiery chicken, which are heavy in carbohydrates, malatang has a healthier balance, including fresh vegetables and meat.
【南韓時報】就曾經發表過一篇關於中國麻辣燙風靡南韓的文章。
中國的麻辣小吃挑動南韓民眾味蕾。
看文章的配圖，街頭小吃麻辣燙喜提配菜，成為精致盤中餐。
文章表示，中國的麻辣燙現在成為了南韓最新的火爆小吃（the latest culinary hit） 。其中，作者這樣形容麻辣燙的獨特風味：
Just like popular street foods yupki-tteokboki or extra hot stir-fried rice cake and fiery chicken, malatang , which originated in the Southwest Chinese province of Sichuan, is especially hot because of the main ingredient, mala.
麻辣燙源於中國四川省，和南韓流行街頭小吃火雞辣年糕一樣，麻辣燙因為其麻辣原料而有著獨具特色的口感。
The dish is well-known for its unique spiciness that makes the tongue numb just as its Chinese characters indicate— "ma" means numb and "la" means spicy.
麻辣燙因其獨特的辣味而知名，這種辣味讓你舌尖發麻，菜名「麻」「辣」二字就是指這種刺激的口感。
The mala sauce, which contains Sichuan pepper, gives the attractively spicy flavor that keeps people coming back for more.
麻辣醬的配料包括花椒，這使得麻辣燙的辣味獨具一格，讓食客流連忘返。
另外吸引南韓食客的還有去店裏吃麻辣燙，拿小筐筐挑選自己愛吃的食材這種體驗：
Upon entering a malatang restaurant, diners are asked to choose fresh ingredients to add to their hotpot, such as vegetables, seafood balls, tofu, and mushrooms, along with their preferred meat — usually lamb or beef.
在麻辣燙店裏，食客可以選擇自己喜歡的新鮮食材，比如蔬菜、海鮮丸子、豆腐、蘑菇還有他們最喜歡的菜，一般都是牛羊肉。
Chosen ingredients are cooked in two ways: as a soup, malatang , or fried, mala xianggu o. Customers can also choose the level of spiciness.
選好食物後，一般有兩種烹調的方式：帶湯的麻辣燙和炒制的麻辣香鍋，顧客還可以自己選擇辣度。
近年來，隨著中華文化走出去的腳步不斷加快，中國美食也漸漸征服了全世界的味蕾。
