Mala restaurants have been opening in Singapore like mushrooms after a rain. There are at least three mala restaurants near Esplanade, and this is the closet one to it. Located in Raffles Link / Citylink Mall, Ru Yi Fang's Malatang outlet occupies the space that was once a New York-styled pizza joint.

For some reason, it's always deserted, as if no one knew it existed. That makes the service very prompt. The formula is much the same: get a bowl, load it with the assorted goodies - noodles, vegetables, mushrooms, meat and seafood - and have it weighed for the price you pay. Its $2.98 for 100g, with a minimum of 300g for an order. So each bowl should minimally cost $9.94.
There are different soup options, but I opted for the boring stir-fried version with the lowest possible level of spice. Mala uses peppers which leave a chilly, numbing and tingling sensation on the lips, and some people love that. Me? Not so much. I'll try the soupy version the next time around.
