  We present in this note a local in time well-posedness result for the
singular $2$-dimensional quasilinear generalized parabolic Anderson model
equation $$ \partial_t u - a(u)\Delta u = g(u)\xi $$ The key idea of our
approach is a simple transformation of the equation which allows to treat the
problem as a semilinear problem. The analysis is done within the elementary
setting of paracontrolled calculus.
