[CLOSED] Yummy Box

Hid here in Big Box’s food court from the crazy rain and came across this ma la xiang guo stall. It was pretty popular for a quiet food court, so we made a mental note to come back to try. It’s also the first stall I’ve seen to offer free flow complimentary white rice and herbal soup!

Their menu says that its $1.80 for each portion of veg and $2.80 for the meats but how they actually calculated the price was quite a mystery? Bowls are brought into the kitchen after orders and payment comes afterwards. We didn’t order much but it was $12.60 for this. The queue and order system wasn’t very organised too, but just observe and you’ll figure it out. 😂

We got the small level of spice (小辣) but it was much spicier than expected! The gravy was thick (consistency like a paste), quite oily and too salty to have on its own. It tasted quite different from the usual mlxg I prefer!

We spent $52 on this portion 😂 Every Westie probably knows about JEM’s mala but I think the one here at Big Box is pretty good too.

I like that the mala here is less oily than usual but beware that the sauce here is thicker and coats the ingredients in it’s thick, fragrant sauce. But i think that’s why the mala here is spicier than usual even though we only order 小辣.

The rice here is complimentary but what I love most is the free flow herbal soup. I think I had 4 bowls of it on my own 😂

😋 Will always order 中辣加辣 at the mala stalls I frequent and it isnt spicy, but this got my stomach burning! 🔥 As usual the 麻 is missing and it can be quite salty if eaten without rice. -
I would say the price is quite reasonable but i really wonder how they count the portions as they dont use a weighing scale. -
Certainly better than the ones is westgate and jem 👍🏻 but 日日红 is still my no.1! #irreplaceable-

Ask them for less spicy and I like that they don't really use much pepper balls inside. But still no idea how they count the portion... #mala #malaxiangguo #sundate #sgfood #burpple #igsg
