Three ways to get your hands on Singapore's favourite mala.
at A Hot Hideout
Our signatures are the Mala Collagen Soup and Mala Stir Fry — but we've got non-spicy and kids-friendly options too.

Simmered for over 12 hours. Rich, creamy, and drinkable. Our most popular base — the one that started it all.

Stir-fried with our house-made mala sauce. Bold, fragrant, and packed with flavour.

All the richness, none of the heat. Great for kids.

Sweet, tangy, and comforting. A crowd favourite.

Traditional Asian stir-fry for those who would love something non-spicy.
70+ ingredients to choose from. We're famous for our deep-fried items and our fluffy scrambled eggs.

Silky, buttery, and unlike anything you've had in mala before.

Sliced so thinly they come out impossibly crispy. We go through 80kg a day.

Crispy on the outside, satisfying crunch in every bite.

Cheesy, savoury, and deep-fried to perfection.

Who knew spam fries and mala could go so well together?
Singaporean Kind of Mala?
We didn't set out to make Sichuan mala.
We made something new.
Our soup is simmered for over 12 hours, creating a rich, creamy broth that's meant to be drunk — not just used as a cooking liquid. We deep-fry our toppings for extra crunch and flavour. Less numbing, more flavour. Born in Singapore, made for Singaporean palates.
Started in an NTU dorm room in 2020. Now 11 outlets strong.
Whether you're dining solo or rolling in with 50 friends, we've got you covered. Our restaurants are spacious with large tables perfect for group gatherings — birthday celebrations, team dinners, or just a massive mala feast with your crew. And we provide the service you need, without the service charge.
