Sichuan mala tang stall at One Raffles Place B1, offering customisable spicy hot pot in individual portions.
Chuan Taizi Mala Tang brings Sichuan mala tang to the basement of One Raffles Place, offering office workers in the CBD a customisable, individual-portion hot pot experience. Diners select their ingredients from a display, and the kitchen cooks them in a fiery, numbing broth built on Sichuan peppercorns and chilli oil that defines the mala flavour profile. The customisation allows each bowl to be tailored to personal preference, from the selection of meats, vegetables, and noodles to the desired spice level. The quick preparation suits the lunchtime crowd that dominates the Raffles Place food scene, where efficiency matters as much as taste. Chuan Taizi provides a satisfying, sweat-inducing option for those who crave the distinctive ma-la sensation and want it served fast enough to fit within a lunch break.Based on 108 Google reviews
