Healthy, Fresh and satisfies the Mala cravings

I have dined her before and have tried both mala soup and dry versions. My favourite is the dry version 100%.
Very tasty and the veggies are fresh.
It's not as oily like the typical mala places.
Great service too!
Definitely grab that Sesame sauce and concoct your own dipping sauce.

Love the vegan fish soup most

I enjoyed drinking their soup base while getting satisfied eating the ingredients with their mala sauce and sesame sauce etc. Surprisingly the vegan fish soup was the best (a mixture of soya milk, light herbal broth etc, very unique and refreshing), only available during the weekend, highly recommend.

Herbal soup base was good too, still recommend but Arashi, Greendot and D'life serve better herbal soup than them... Tomato soup base was light yet tasty too, recommend.

Decided to skip their mala as for sure the numbness and spiciness level won't be enough for me, was told by the staff that it was the same mala sauce used in cooking, which i finished at least 2 plates during each visit lol.

So tasty and vegan friendly

Staff were so welcoming on our first trip to Singapore and I was delighted by the vegan protein options. It was so nice to be able to customize my bowl too and spicy means spicy here!! Highly recommend this place!

Pros: Creative, Lots of options, Great service

Food Review

Located at the exit of MRT, seating is limited. We ordered one Mala veggie and another Soupy Mala… cost is 28/kg. Liked the dry Mala veggie more than the soupy Mala.

Pros: Good quality and taste

Cons: Expensive , Getting seat can be challenge sometimes

Tasty & healthy broth

Tried tomato broth with selected ingredients such as spinach, yam, beancurd, fried beancurd skin, and king oyster mushroom.

$2.89/ 100 gm with min 300 gm of order.

Their broth does not contain msg.

Various online payment but there isn't Grabpay. I use Paylah.

Pros: Simple setup, Decent food

Cons: Limited seating area

Good food and service

Allium-free vegetarian!!

The mala mix is a healthier option where they mix the mala and ingredients together. Different from the usual mala where they stir fry.

And you will not taste the “numb aka 麻” from the peppercorns as they use sesame for the “ma”-la portion instead. So be prepared for only spicyness.

There’s a small condiment section for you too.

Not so oily Mala

I tried all 4 type of house menu
I like mala more be it soup or dry. It is so satisfying after the meal.
My girls missed n craving for their foods always. I’m not a herbal person but heard it is the best seller among all.

Pros: Choose the spiciness u want , More side snacks now n change periodically

Fresh and Healthy Vegetarian Cuisine

Meatless Monday, ate a super big bowl of noodle!

New vegetarian eatery at Esplanade Exchange, serving Vegetarian Mala, but you get to choose non Mala soup-based (herbal or tomatoes) if you are not a Mala Fan.

Fresh ingredients. Minimum 300g (S$2.98 per 100g). If you are a solo diner and a small eater, it may be a little tough to finish all.

I had herbal soup-based with noodle or you can pair with rice. Love it. Delicious and you can have those rare ingredients like potatoes, pumpkin, lotus in the soupy noodle. Mock meat available too.

Clean and cosy dining environment. It was crowded during lunchtime. Go early or go for late lunch.
