"type of hot spicy soup commonly eaten as a street food in China."

According to Wikipedia malatang is:

  1. skewers of various ingredients cooked in hot broth, a popular street food in Beijing
  2. Sichuanese stew similar to hot pot

The questions are: 1) is it also a soup? 2) is Wikipedia correct? --Hekaheka (talk) 00:34, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

It has both meanings, see Nciku. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:16, 12 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
According to your link malatang is cooked in soup (=broth, I would think) but that does not make it a soup. That would indicate that our current definition is wrong, and the two Wikipedia definitions are correct. --Hekaheka (talk) 17:31, 12 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Unstruck. I don't see attesting quotations. As a minimum, the text of the quotations should be pasted to this RFV discussions, IMHO. As the very bare poor man's minimum, three links to quotations meeting WT:ATTEST should be provided. Since the nominated entry is an English one, that means "use in permanently recorded media, conveying meaning, in at least three independent instances spanning at least a year". --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:56, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
