I'm extremely picky with my food, so I know what I picked. My luncheon meat is missing, and I'm damn upset about it. Tissue paper per pack $1.10? My friend cannot eat beef due to religious belief, and we told them not to mix beef. Yet, we found a piece of 毛肚 inside my friend's Mala. Clearly, they don't wash their pots and pans after each cook, so if you're allergic to certain items, it's better not to dine here.

The food is not bad, and you choose your own items. My only complaint is that there's no weighing machine available for customer use, except at the cashier. If there were a weighing scale or machine available, we could get exactly 300g or more, instead of estimating it roughly before going to the cashier.

Extremely disappointed. I found many flies in my soup—completely unacceptable and unhygienic. Though unclear from the picture, all the black spots are actually flies. I couldn’t even bring myself to eat it. It seems like the vegetables weren’t washed properly, as my other order (which had no vegetables) didn’t have any flies. This raises serious concerns about cleanliness in the kitchen.

This well-known mala tang chain, with over 6,000 outlets worldwide, has opened a new store in Bedok. The pricing is $3.08 per 100g, regardless of the type of ingredient, with a minimum purchase of 300g. This pricing model is clearly less reasonable than neighborhood mala hotpot stalls in hawker centers, where vegetables and meats are priced separately. It wouldn't be very cost-effective if you only select vegetables. There's no lamb among the ingredients, but there's a wide variety of fish and meatballs, such as lobster roe balls, fish roe balls, stuffed squid balls, sea urchin balls, and fish balls—giving off strong Fujian vibes. The noodle selection is quite diverse, coming in white, yellow, green, and even purple. Seafood options include large octopuses 🐙, like the one greeting customers at the entrance—something you'd rarely find in neighborhood stalls. The soup bases are also varied, including tomato, mushroom, and classic mala broth, making it suitable for diners who prefer non-spicy options. While the variety of ingredients and soup bases is greater than in neighborhood mala hotpot stalls, the pricing isn't particularly competitive. If you're tired of the usual neighborhood mala hotpot, this place offers a different selection of broths and ingredients worth trying. It's also a good option for solo dining. I'd like to give it 4.5 stars if possible.

The staff was efficient at clearing the table for us, and I also saw her cleaning the tables instantly after diners left. There was a wide array of ingredients, and the coolers appeared clean as well. I ordered their Mala Tang, and by default, the soup wasn't spicy, so I was able to customize the spiciness of my bowl. I found the default soup to be a little sweet.
