Wan Xin Mala Xiang Guo – You’re Missing Out if You Don’t Try This Mala Along Upper Serangoon
August 28, 2019
More than halfway through 2019, and I would say the Mala craze is still going strong. Or maybe it’s just my circle of friends who are still obsessed. But anyway, it’s time I introduce my personal favourite Mala Xiang Guo in the whole of Singapore! While many would immediately think of Ri Ri Hong at Chinatown when you mention Mala, I much prefer Wan Xin Mala Xiang Guo along Upper Serangoon Road.
The eatery is brightly lit and spacious, and is packed with customers whenever I visit in the evening. It’s so well-lit that I suspect it might actually feel brighter at night than in the day. Although Wan Xin Mala is open from 11am every day, it’s more of a dinner or supper place and I recommend visiting it during evening time instead! They’re open till 3am every day, making it extremely popular as a supper place.
I’ll say the prices here are extremely reasonable, and even though we got a pretty substantial amount of food, plus a bowl of rice, our bill was only slightly above $20. On top of that, the wide variety of ingredients they offer have been very fresh every time I visited!
I love spicy food, but my family doesn’t, and we usually get the zhong la (medium spicy) to bring home. So when I got the chance to go big on this trip, I, of course, jumped at it. Let’s just say they definitely don’t hold back on the chillis. Even though my companion and I were almost dying from the spiciness, the addictive flavours and fragrance kept us going back for more.
Some Mala tend to be too oily, salty, or numbing without any fragrance, but there’s none of that disappointment here. It’s extremely aromatic, and doesn’t have too much of the uncomfortable numbing sensation that many dislike. If you’ll like your Mala to have less oil and salt, simply ask and they’re more than happy to accommodate!
If you haven’t tried it, do grab a group of Mala-loving friends and give it a try!
