A Hot Hideout - Blk 20A #03

honestly the best mala i’ve had in singapore, and the way they fry the eggs, potatoes, and lotus root is amazing~ overall an excellent spot for a nice lunch/dinner with friends, and i’ll definitely be visiting more too!!

(15th June '22, ~5.45pm) It's the best dried mala hotpot I've ever tasted in SG!! The spice is out of this world I'd say! For this 2nd visit, we increased our portion up to Abt $65 for the 2 of us, with the usual stuff we love. Spiciness still remain at small which is just the right amount for us to enjoy. They offer to separate the fried stuff such as luncheon meat, fish and potato (sliced and fried into chips). You won't regret just DO IT. Add a buncha eggs to get them scrambled and watery down onto your bowl. Also preferred the smaller noodles while the sauce dances intensely ard them. Slurp carefully! The Thai milk tea is a must-have. THICK is the word. Add a little bit of water as it's Abit too sweet for me. Pretty nice of u guys to include extra ingredients such as fried fish in our pot during our 1st visit. Will be back for more cravings!

Unique mala experience. Mala collagen soup was unique, tho less spicy that the usual mala stall so do get da la at least if you are a spice lover. Dry mala was good, especially with Maggie noodles inside. Must try the potatos, luncheon meat, lotus root and fish which are deep fried before adding into dry or soup bowl. Eggs are scrambled to perfection and supper yummy!

Second time eating here due to long queues since the start of the semester. Came down once we heard that the opening hours are extended to Saturdays as well(used to be closed on Saturdays). Soup is nice, Potatoes , fish and luncheon meat etc. are fried separately. Very clean environment, tissue box one every table. Choice of indoor(air conditioned) or outdoor seating. You will not end up with the mala smell on your clothes even if you sit inside for more than one hour. Price is higher than most mala hotpot outside, but definitely worth it for the environment, service and quality of food. Do join their telegram channel for special promotions. There is currently membership for discount and freebies. Very crowded during school days, lunch/dinner hours. Queue can be very long, only one group will be able to pick the food at a time.

So i am here quite regularly. The mala is spot on. Small spicy is plenty good enough for me Today try set lunch where they get random stuff for you. Good bowl of stuff and i fully enjoyed it. Fav mala in Singapore. Go for the fish, potato, chicken, pork, beef, vege, eggs, potatoes, lotus etc etc. All good. Maggie mee must take. Also sell ice-cream so you can cool your mouth after.

I love how they deep fried the potato slices and scrambled the eggs. For someone that cannot really take spice, xiao la was a little too spicy for me… but it was worth it. It was very fragrant instead of just spicy. POTATOES & EGGS are a MUST order. For this bowl, it was $30.

6 Jun '22: Return visit so I could try their mala soup version. I had it medium spiciness and it was excellent. Almost addictive. More la and less ma, which I find a deviation of original mantra of Sichuan cuisine. Nonetheless, it was excellent meal. 5 Jun '22: Had a hard time trying to find the place. This hideout had both indoor (air con) and outdoor. Good vibes and cosy environment. A huge variety to choose from. Ordered both the less- and medium- spicy levels. The medium spicy level has a good kick and numbness to it. The must-haves are potato, lotus root, beancurd skin, cuttlefish balls and whole fish. They have other proteins such as chicken and pork but they do not label them. Ask for the reward card which they give 1 stamp for every $15 spent. Free parking after 6pm.

Nice hot and spicy. Take mild and try. Add the egg as it helps to lower the spice. Dun try to be superman on your first try. This shop do help to separate those items that can or should be tried. A different take Spice level linger so try to go easy. Very solar to the ones I eaten in most part of china when I was oversea. .
