Chinese mala tang pick-and-cook concept at IMM, offering customisable spicy Sichuan-style noodle soups.
Gong Yuan Ma La Tang is a Chinese mala tang chain that operates on the same pick-and-cook format that has become popular across Singapore: diners select their own ingredients from a refrigerated spread of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, meats, and noodles, hand them to the kitchen, and receive a steaming bowl of mala-flavoured soup in return.
The broth is the defining element — a rich, aromatic base suffused with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies that delivers the signature numbing-spicy kick. Those who prefer less heat can opt for a non-spicy or tomato-based broth.
The self-service, by-weight pricing gives diners full control over their meal's size and cost, making it as affordable or as indulgent as they wish. The IMM outlet follows the same consistent format as the rest of the chain, with a compact counter designed for quick, efficient service. For anyone craving a warming, customisable bowl of mala tang in the Jurong area, Gong Yuan Ma La Tang offers a solid, satisfying option that hits the fiery, numbing notes that define this beloved Sichuan street-food tradition.
