If you’re coming here looking for genuine mala, this is probably not the place. I’ve tried many mala chains and hawker-style mala spots before, and this honestly does not feel like real mala. They simply stir-fry the selected ingredients, mix the instant noodles with some pre-made paste (which tastes like something store-bought), and within about 3 minutes the buzzer goes off. The whole process feels rushed and lacks the authentic mala flavour and experience. I chose this place even though there were other mala options nearby because I had tried it before, but this visit was really disappointing. The only condiments available were mayonnaise and chilli sauce, which was quite underwhelming. The pricing is also confusing. They advertise $2.99 per 100g, but certain items come with additional charges of $2 or $3. On top of that, there was a discount advertised on the board outside, but the staff initially tried to bill me without applying it. Even after asking about the discount, they said there was no discount until I pointed out the sign at the entrance. Overall, the food quality, authenticity, and service experience were disappointing. I would not recommend this place and would suggest looking elsewhere for mala.
Tried 2 mala stalls in CCP which are equally good, and decided to try this 3rd stall today. Not hungry so took vege and a pinch of meat with instant noodles. Definitely 20-30% more expensive compared to the other 2 stalls, yet taste not as good as feedback by many reviewers. Too salty and lack mala essence. Even the free seaweed soup which looks nice but again extremely generous with salt! Guess my first and last visit. Cheers to water parade!
Its my first time trying out the mala here. I got quite a huge portion of mala along with a few fresh oysters that totaled up to around $80. This plus free flow of drinks, ice cream and seaweed soup. I say its a steal and i dont get why the google review is 2.5 changians, are yall gatekeeping this?? Tsktsk. The service is good and the place is clean :) would definitely come again
