This is NOT your typical “mala hotpot” experience. It’s upscale (think comfortable and elegant dining space complete with a bird’s eye view of the surrounding area) and food-wise, delivers in terms of being audaciously fragrant and fiercely spicy.
At $60++ for 2 pax, the Mala Set Meal at “Auntie’s Wok & Steam” on the 25th floor of Andaz Singapore Hotel is without a doubt, very good value. Not only do you get to choose from three kinds of premium proteins (Barramundi, Kurobuta pork and Wagyu beef) to be stirfried very well with black fungi and mushrooms in a housemade blend of uber aromatic “mala” spices, but the set also includes a plate of fiery Firecracker Fried Chicken (we love that they cut the meat into big boneless pieces), steamed organic rice that has a really pleasant taste, and four icy-cold bottles of Andaz Pale Ale.
Adding on a plate of stirfried vegetables is a good idea in my opinion as it helps make the meal more balanced.
