I was quite disappointed with the Mala dish I received. the plate was overloaded with dried chillies—way more than necessary. After separating them out, there was barely enough actual food underneath. It felt like I paid mostly for chilli, not a proper meal. Definitely not value for money, and the experience was not satisfying. Hope the portioning and pricing can be reviewed seriously.

I was a bit worried after sitting down and reading some of the Google reviews — there were comments about bad food and even cockroaches crawling on the dishes. I had already ordered, so I waited nervously. Thankfully, the food arrived in just 15 minutes, which I thought was reasonable, especially since I ordered steamed fish. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised — the food came piping hot, and the fish was very fresh. I’ve learned that you can’t always trust every review online. I’m not a paid reviewer — just a customer who feels it would be a shame for a perfectly good halal eatery to suffer because of a few dramatic or possibly unfair comments. I’m attaching a photo to show that I did eat here — and yes, I cleaned up my plate! As for the claim about cockroaches crawling on the food — come on, if that were true, I’m pretty sure NEA would’ve shut the place down by now.

It's easy to order. Very delicious limbo fish (patin) and they fry a bit 1st before steaming it. I like it. They have fresh oysters too. Fried squid is really fantastic. The pickled poached fish with glass noodle is really tasty too. There's no service as you have to pay 1st and then take your own food after they finish cooking. The staff is just there to clear tables after customers finish their food. There's indoor and outdoor dining. Ample parking place.

1st and last time visiting. Ridiculously expensive store. Should have check review before trying. Don’t be fool by The long queue. They captured overflow crowds of other popular Mala stores. I had the smallest quantity in weight but because of their unpublished pricing, mine became the most expensive of all. Despite I ask for non spicy with no sauce at all, I was charged $3 large pot base as compared to my colleagues that has lots of Mala pot base but paid only $2 small.

Located inside Changi City Mall. Halal certified restaurant. You can order from the menu or you can take the food from the counter to do up a mala dish. Do note that there are different pricing for different items. You could see how the staff separate your items out in order to charge accordingly. Unlike the normal mala restaurant which will just charge everything based on the total weight. I do find some of items are too expensive: eg $2 for a piece of dried sea weed. My order came up to $15, mostly vegetables and I had 3 pieces of sea weed, those costed me $6. Too expensive to my liking. Service was alright, though the staff decided to serve another customer first, when I was there waiting for my food to be weighed. Very unlikely for me to visit again.
