Yang Guo Fu Mala Tang is a Chinese restaurant — an outpost of one of China's best-known mala tang chains — at #01-11 Pasir Ris Mall, 7 Pasir Ris Central, Singapore 519612. It holds a 4.8 Google rating, with updates posted on its Facebook page.
Mala tang is the do-it-yourself corner of Chinese eating: fill a bowl at the chilled counter — noodles, vegetables, tofu, sliced meats — have it weighed, and it is cooked to order in a simmering broth. The name is the flavour — ma for the numbing tingle of Sichuan peppercorn, la for chilli heat — and counters usually let you set the spice from gentle to fierce, with a milder base for the cautious. Regulars judge a shop by its broth, deep and fragrant rather than merely hot, and by how quickly the counter turns over.
Inside Pasir Ris Mall beside the MRT, it is an easy stop for a warming, build-it-yourself bowl in Singapore's east.
