Hong Tang Ma La Tang

Ordered the fixed set Suan La Fen ($6.80) where the staff will help you to choose the ingredients inside + vermicelli. The soup was sour, and I loved it as I’m a “Bak Chor Mee add vinegar” kinda person. It was very appetising to me and I finished all the soup!

My only gripe was that it wasn’t spicy enough, and I put some chilli padi inside. I would say that it’s really worth it, and they were really generous with the soup. I did not feel thirsty after finishing up the soup! I also felt that the vermicelli used is a bit different from what I used to. It’s not the kind that breaks apart easily in fish soup, it’s slightly chewy and really delicious in the soup!

Overall, I really loved the place as it’s clean, quiet, and serves really good food. I’ve tried the bone broth as well and loved it as well. Tip: try out their spicy paste sauce, it’s really delicious with the “mala” taste without being too spicy.

Tucked away in a corner of Cineleisure Orchard, Hong Tang Ma La Tang is indeed a hidden gem in the Orchard area💎. We love their ma la soup base, it's hot and spicy but not oily🌶️! We recommend to get the small spicy as we feel that it's spicy enough but not so much such that the soup is not drinkable🍜. A great selection of ingredients is available as well, from the usual maggie, sweet potato noodles, vegetables, beancurd skin, meat slices and so on. Yummy🙆‍♀️!!

Hidden mala tang shop within the dying cineleisure mall. Charges by weight ($2.80/100g) and there's several soup base to choose from. Ingredients are fresh and mala soup was not overly seasoned or oily. Be sure to get the chili sauce!! Definitely gave the soup alot more depth and flavour. Will definitely return again!!

The other broth we tried apart from ma la, was their clear bone broth that’s made from chicken and pork bones. It leaned towards a more homely flavour with an additional add of herbs that was comforting. Not something I’d get here as I’d go for one stronger flavoured.

Had Hong Tang Ma La Tang in the past when they were called Zi Ma Guan and really enjoyed it. This time too! They are tucked in the corner just next to Cineleisure’s basement food court, the same stretch that used to be a sushi joint.

We had our ma la at default spice. If you’re a fan of spice like me, it’s definitely more than manageable! The base is the same as their clear bone broth, so you get that extra depth on top of the spice and distinct numbness. Loved that it was so flavourful, not laden with chilli oil and super drinkable! Only thing is that their range of ingredients is not that big. Other broths are xiang la 香辣, suan la 酸辣, tomato, herbs and bone broth. It’s a standard $2.80/100g here, but psst, reserve on Eatigo before heading down to get extra discounts.
