Xiang Piao Piao Mala Hotpot 香飘飘麻辣香锅 (Sengkang)

I took a humongous fillet of dory, probably paid for it, and when I reached home my box had not a single slice of fish. Anyway I think their scrambled egg is complimentary so that's awesome. Their medium spiciness was too spicy for me.

They have been here for years and I noticed they have a long queue at times - should be not bad right? Feeling hungry late at night hence decided to give this a try with the limited choice of stalls still operating at that hour. To order, just select your choice of ingredients and let them weigh your items. Kopitiam cardholders get another 10% discount if you pay with the card. Although fragrant, I find their 小辣 is too 麻 for my tongue to truly enjoy this bowl of MXG.

Somehow it's not as good as I remembered. Even my commented that it's not as spicy or flavourful thou I ordered 大辣. Just plain salty. Hmmm, they no longer have the shredded kelp which I like. Will think twice bout coming back again.

13.50 for these. They ran out or no longer selling the thin seaweed. But still good.

found this mala stall hidden in an obscure Kopitiam in sengkang. i’d say im one who can handle her spice but this stall’s 中辣 (medium spicy) surprised me as the ingredients i’d chosen had been seasoned and cooked to pack a substantial punch! not only was it satisfyingly spicy, i could tell that they did not just stop at the basic spices as there was substantial depth to the numbness and fragrance of the dish.

furthermore, the prices of the ingredients are pretty affordable and reasonable, with meats going at $2.30/100g and vegetables at $1.30/100g.

overall, their selection of ingredients are fresh and huuuge and i enjoyed picking from the variety. i definitely see myself on return visits if i’m in the area!
