$15; super cheap considering the amount of items we got! Pork intestines, chicken, crazy amounts of mushrooms & veggies. They do have quite a big selection of ingredients. The mala bowl at medium spice is more spicy 辣 than 麻, could possibly be more 麻 imo. Nonetheless it’s a really good & affordable bowl of mala. Loved it! They also offer a soup version, might try it another time. But I would definitely patronise the shop, decent fragrance with cheap prices and generous portions.
Thick and rich broth - you could tell they boiled it for a long & good time. Broth was super rich with a very beefy taste. Shank & tendon portions were quite generous for $12.50++! Really liked it with the salted veggies. Would come back again to try their pork bone soup! Also great & attentive service.
Clear pricing per portion, this came up to $8! Pretty fragrant but the portion tended to the small side, owner wasn’t very generous with the ingredients as compared to RiRi. Nonetheless, it was a good mala with quite a numbing yet fragrant taste! Owner was also really fast in preparing the food.
Used #burpplebeyond for this. Great ambience & friendly staff. Lamb shank was a new addition on their menu & it was recommended by the lady boss. Base reminded me abit of Mariana spaghetti? Filling & satisfying. Will be back to try the other items on their menu!
Rich broth with choices of customising broth thickness, noodle texture etc. Free eggs too! Good ramen in Chijmes.
Their MLXG is alot better than their salted egg one in my opinion. There’s a charge for the base & ingredients are charged per portion. Quite flavourful & tasty!
Free flow salad bar & 2 main dishes for an affordable meal in Chinatown! Their lunch set is priced affordably at $12/$13++ with a free drink. Food wasn’t very good but decent for the price paid. It gets quite crowded during lunch time too!
Yummy mala and collagen broth which brought out a lot of flavour for the ingredients ordered. Came up to around $150 for 4 pax which I’d say is a little cheaper than HDL considering I paid $50/pax for HDL. Their beancurd rolls were amazing too! It’s their signature item so do get it!
Went all the way to Chinatown's market to try the much raved about Ri Ri Mala Pot. Almost every patrons at the hawker centre had a big bowl of mala goodness embossed with 日日麻辣香锅 on the bowl. And truth be told, the mala craze really lives up to it's name! The queues are long & so are the waits but I'd say it's definitely worth it! I enjoyed my pot of mala goodness to the last bit of it. My vegetarian bowl with medium spice came up to $15, and I shared it with 4 people with satiated tummies! Go for it if you don't mind long waits & have lots of time to spare! I absolutely love mala pots & I'm officially on the mala bandwagon!
Comparable to RiRi's at Chinatown market, but the portions seem a tad smaller. This veggie pot came up to $11 for 2 people & you can choose your own ingredients so go all out with seafood and meat or go healthy with all veggies! It's up to you & though waits are equally, if not even longer than 日日's at Chinatown as they only have 1 stall in Bedok, it's still worth the wait as compared as traveling all the way to Chinatown for the easties! Singapore's really going gaga over Ma La!
I'm definitely onto this mala craze sweeping Singapore, I've been eating it on a bi-weekly basis & I can't stop craving for it. Hai Tian Fragrant Hot Pot is an alternative to the other Mala stall @ Bedok interchange. In my opinion, I enjoy Hai Tian's mala more because it's much less oily & the service is better, with more generous portions. Wait times still go up to 20 minutes during peak hours but all is well when I get my hands on a piping hot bowl of fragrant mala! This only cost $9 & prices differ depending on your choice of ingredients! Easties, give this a try! It's my favourite & I like it more than Riri's at Chinatown 🤤
First time trying a food court styled Mala & man it was good! This bowl came up to $14.80 which is obviously more expensive than a regular coffeeshop/hawker Mala bowl. Paid $3 for the base and the items are self service, pick and they will weigh it for you accordingly. The bowl was really good, the taste was definitely there & there were cinnamon sticks which constituted part of the base, really giving an oomph factor to the bowl! Can't wait for my next Mala already 🤤 & yes I ate this all by myself 🌚
