It’s rare to find a mala hot pot that really suits my taste! The flavor was so fragrant, and I ordered the mildest spice level — not too much Sichuan pepper, just a gentle kick that was perfect for me. I’ll definitely want to come back again.

Had very good hotpot supper here. Prices are cheap and reasonable, and most importantly, the food is also very good! Will definitely come for a second time!

Just tried a new mala spot in Pelangi, tasty and affordable! Fresh ingredients, good portion, and the broth had the perfect kick. Definitely coming back for my spicy fix!

Delicious and satisfying meal! The mala xiang guo was full of flavour, with the perfect balance of spice and aroma. Highly recommend the spicy shredded pork (香辣肉丝). The environment is clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly. Will definitely come back again!
