Now Mala food has become part of Singapore's iconic food culture

[DemonReaver]

Their popularity & status can rival our own chicken rice or BCM in realms of hawker tier food.

Someone told me opening a mala stall can easily make profits these days.

China food has always been inseparable from sinkie chinese.

that includes cai png, chicken rice, bak chor mee etc


Jap food is basically a twist on china food
that's why sinkies love jap food

I like mala. The problem is it's not cheap...smelly smelly $8 even just for 1 pax.

[noobynoob]

I don’t like the numbing sensation, and it’s usually too spicy for local tropical weather.

China loves mala hotpot during winter months I can understand, but why sinkies eat mala stir fried dishes in hawker centres at 31 deg C weather? That I do not know.

 

[pikafunk3]

cheap china hot oil + MSG + lots of salt
mix into low quality ingredients

don't eat too often ....

 

[deathan9el]

not really my fave tbh

[AndroidComa]

it is correct than

singapore has got no food of our own
many of our food are stolen from others?

 

[rainygrainy]

Yeah the spiciness not the most disturbing. It's the salt level.
