If there’s one food craze that’s taken Singapore by storm it’s got to be Mala! Originating from Sichuan province in China, “mala” literally means “numbing spice” and this fiery sauce made with Sichuan peppercorns has been delighting spice lovers everywhere. There’s just something about that numbing feeling that makes it so alluring. ?Even fast-food joints like KFC (click to watch our review!) and 4Fingers have come up with mala-inspired dishes on their menu! Thankfully, with more halal eateries in Singapore popping up, there’s also been a wave of halal mala eateries for you to get your mala fix. ? So, if you’re a “die-hard” mala fan, then this guide is for you! Read on for the top 7 places in Singapore for halal mala!
If that’s not enough to fire up your taste buds, then order Le Fuse’s other tantalising dishes such as their Chongqing Diced Chicken ($9.80) — chicken breast chunks seasoned with more than 10 different spices are stir-fried in dried chillis and Sichuan peppercorns. Their Sichuan Braised Beef Noodles ($11.80) are a must-try too! If you’re feeling more adventurous, give their Malay-Sichuan fusion dishes a try. The Dendeng Beef Sichuan ($12.80) substitutes normal beef slices with BBQ meat instead for a rich and smoky taste. ?
At first glance, you might just mistake this stall for a yong tau fu stall as the set-up is the same. Pick a good mix of your favourite ingredients, let the staff know your preferred spice level — mildly spicy, spicy or extra spicy — and you’re all set! You can also opt for a dry or soup version. For a kick to your taste buds, we recommend choosing spicy or extra spicy but do note that the taste isn’t that numbing. The mala gravy is also really rich in flavour and it gets even spicier as you get to the bottom of the bowl. Don’t forget to get ready a glass of water before you dig in! ?
#HHWT Tip: Though the ingredients might add up to a pretty large amount (more than $10), the portions are quite generous and it’s perfect for 2 to share, so no need to order separate portions unless you’re really hungry!
Average price: $10 Opening hours: Open daily; 7AM - 10PM Address: 60 Paya Lebar Rd, Paya Lebar Square Basement 1, Singapore 409051 Facebook
We recommend getting the dry mala to soak up all the flavours. What we love is that the spice levels are really accurate too - you will get what you choose ? The only downside is that the items here are pricier than other mala eateries on the list so do take note of the prices while choosing! To get your money's worth, we recommend sharing with your friends.
P.S. Think all the good halal food is only in Singapore's east? Think again! We've got 11 awesome halal places that'll prove the west can still be the best! ?

But if you don’t intend on burning your tongue with hot soup, we recommend getting the dry version instead. Although this stall ranks high on the spice list, it doesn’t really have that numbing factor. In terms of price, it isn’t too bad either. You can spend around $20+ for a big bowl to share among 2–3 people.
