Super expensive. Don't buy. I think their minimum cost is $20. Same as west mall food court mala, theirs min is $15. No wonder no customer.

Ripoff. I ordered no meat, no seafood, and yet I paid 17.90 for my food. Tofu is sour.
Hein Htet Soe
Very expensive and not worth to pay it. The flavour is just normal and charge bill extra for mala .
Jerdine
Ridiculously expensive. No meat, no carbs and it was $15.60 for a single portion

Hope they close down.... Charges by item rather than weight, 22.6 for 2 pax, at this point, postpone your mala craving and eat at chuan tai zi, still cheaper Food overcooked, meat extremely tough, shrimp tasteless Chinese lady at counter talking over food with no mask, 0 service expected by proper fnb Mala has 0 ma, and la does not pair well with how how the food is served (we enjoy dala)

THIS IS ABSOLUTE SCAM! (Portion in the picture is taken when the lid was opened. NOT YET EATEN) I went there to order for one portion and I was surprised when the casher told me it cost $20! I was shocked and said “That’s too much for one portion” and asked what was making it expensive, the lady said the vegetable. So i went back the line to reduce the items (which left me with almost nothing in my plate). Since I have etiquette, i didn’t cancel the order as meat and vegetables are touched. In short, I ended up paying $12.30 for THIS SMALL ORDER! They charge $3 for soup base!!! The dish was so oily its almost un-consumable. This place is scamming people. 80% of my bowl is filled with KangKong. I didn’t even order beef and they charged me $1.3 for beef!? DO NOT order from their place unless u have money to waste. Taste is not even good. A child can manage this outlet better, this is absurd!😡 They need proper people with basic business knowledge to operate this shop!

I recently tried this food stall and was disappointed. It was expensive, and the taste was bad, not the standard mala I’m used to. The owner should improve the quality.

Congratulations on yet another 1 star review. By far the most non-value for money Mala i have ever had. Ordered 1 bundle of cabbage, 1 clamp of beansprouts, 1 sausage and 1 clamp of chicken. The order would’ve costed me $9 in Blk302 Food Court, 5 minutes away, and $11 where i work at Tanjong Pagar. But at Lot 1 Monster Chili, it costed me $20.70. RIDICULOUS. And worst part is the price isn’t the end of it. The meat is tenderiser chicken, i say it in such a way because it tastes like the tenderiser. And if you don’t know what that tastes like, try it and you will find out. The beansprouts are old, oxidised and have a lot of brown hues all over. Also the cashier lady isn’t trained to do cashiering? She asked me how to use Capitaland Vouchers, and how to use the POS System, to collect the payment via paywave. Chicken rice aunty has to step in to help. Without a doubt, i will not be coming back again.

Daylight robbery. First time ordering from here with quail eggs, mushroom, 2 baby corn & dried tofu cost me $17.90. Shocked. Another girl came up and asked me how much was my malar, told her the price, hers was $21. We were both unimpressed. First and last time ordering from there. I hope they close down soon.

If you are reading this do not buy from this mala shop. My bill for 2 people was 41 dollars. For context the vegetable was 4.80 for one, the enoki was 3.50 and everything else was overpriced. The food itself was below average for a mala, it had not a lot of flavour and was too oily for soup that was chosen not spicy
fiona
bought no meat, and yet this costed $16.60 got a shock when i heard the price and asked for a receipt to check the price. the receipt itself was already super suspicious, $3 for hotpot base, $7.60 for mushroom?? and $4+ for 1 sausage. portion looks even lesser. absolutely a scam. person serving was also not professional, taking her own sweet time. food was also mediocre, super oily. not recommended

Daylight robbery. So freaking expensive and costed my partner & i nearly 30 bucks. It’s actually yummy ngl but too expensive. Took a few slices of meat and it was $6.40…… that’s really crazy.

daylight robbery. the soup base itself is $5 the seaweed chicken was $1 each the soup was really oily and the rice some parts wasn’t cooked very well – there were a few hard grains

I finished scooping the ingredients. The staff spoke loudly and said that I scooped too little. If I scooped less than 10$, they would not stir-fry the food for me. And told me to put all the ingredients back in the same compartment where I scooped them. Then the staff knocked the container and acted dissatisfied with me. This kind of service is very bad. I will definitely not come to eat at this restaurant again. The staff is very bad.

I bought no meat, and yet this cost $16.60. I was shocked when I heard the price and asked for a receipt to check it. The receipt itself was already super suspicious: $3 for hotpot base, $7.60 for mushroom?? and over $4 for 1 sausage. The portion looked even smaller. Absolutely a scam. The person serving was also unprofessional, taking her own sweet time. The food was also mediocre and super oily. Not recommended.

Hope they close down... They charge by item rather than weight. We paid 22.60 for two people. At this point, just postpone your mala craving and eat at Chuan Tai Zi; it's still cheaper. The food was overcooked, the meat extremely tough, and the shrimp tasteless. A Chinese lady at the counter was talking over the food with no mask on. This is zero service, not what's expected from a proper F&B establishment. The mala had zero 'ma' (numbing sensation), and the 'la' (spiciness) did not pair well with how the food was served. (We enjoy 'dala'.)

The best mala flavour suited to my Malay/Indian taste buds. I usually check with them if they are selling the 1 person set for about 8 dollars and then it's a dealers choice of chicken with their choice of whatever vegetables. However it's less likely that they will have the set at dinner time. So best to check if they have. I only eat if they have the set available cause it's very expensive otherwise...
