Hong Fan Tian 红翻天麻辣香锅烤鱼 (Toa Payoh Central)

PRC food is always merrier in a large group like zichar. 回锅肉, garlic lettuce, sour & spicy fish, cereal prawn, tomato egg, 辣子鸡, mapo tofu, shredded potato. Nothing was especially good, especially the centerpiece fish, but cereal always helps haha.

One of the newest stores located at Food Alley at Toa Payoh Central is Hong Fan Tian 红翻天 Mala HotPot.

There are plenty of mala stores sprouting around Singapore, but this store is probably one of the most affordable ones around!

The cost of items goes by weight, but at a fixed price of $1.98/100g, regardless of items. So if you’re the type that loves a meat fix, this will definitely be way more affordable than the other places that serves meat at $2.50-$3/100g.

The variety of ingredients is comparable to most mala stores, with your usual suspects of meats, and mushrooms, and they even have udon!!

Apart from the weight, you’d just need to top up an additional $1.50 for the base, be it the Mala hotpot, mala soup or clear soup.

If the fragrant pot is not for you, they also have the grilled fish buffet at $19.80 nett per pax, with a minimum of 2 pax to dine. #worthit

13$ for this. Not bad
