Gong Yuan Ma La Tang opened up at Tiong Bahru Plaza (#02-113 Tiong Bahru Plaza, 302 Tiong Bahru Road) pretty recently. Our also recent kindled interest in mala tang steered us forth so these were a few of the bowls we've had over a couple of visits.
Mala soup's not the same as the one from Zhang Liang. This one didn't look/taste as milky. The flavour was cleaner but a little less smooth if you catch my drift. If I had to choose, I prefer the broth at Zhang Liang. They have a larger variety of ingredients to choose from as well. This one wasn't bad though.
There's a dry rendition with sesame/peanut sauce which we got in 小辣. Pretty good nutty sauce. Would come back for this again. 👍🏼
Suan cai (酸菜) broth was sour but not so intense compared to the 酸菜鱼 around the corner. Maybe that was the point since this was meant to be eaten with everything else that you could pile into the bowl. That being said, those cubes of 酸菜 were more sour than the broth. Can see myself getting this again.
