Update: Visited again during dinner time and there was a crowd. We queued for a short period of time and the seats were allocated to us. The food still tastes great! ___ Visited the restaurant during the day at an off peak timing so there are less crowds and no queues. I have visited other branches too, and I am glad that the quality of the food is consistent throughout the outlets. The soup broth is rich and aromatic. The food is also served quite quickly within a short period of time!

I found a centipede in my tomato soup—something I've never experienced before. It was really traumatic and has made me hesitant to eat Yong Tau Foo or Mala Tang in the future. I was so stunned that I called over the staff, then rushed to the washroom to vomit everything I had eaten. I didn’t manage to take a photo because I was too shocked and afraid to deal with the sight of such a large unknown object in my food. My mind went blank, and all I could think about was vomiting. After the meal, I quickly went to get some charcoal.

Pretty disappointing experience in terms of service. Reason being, it's peak hour and the shop is severely understaffed. 1 young guy manning the cashier + stocking up on ingredients + wiping the table, 1 young lady doing all the cooking. And 1 guy washing the bowls. To add on, place was small. There was an aunty that just blatantly cut everyone's queue and walked in. No staff stopped her. Poor control of situation & I can't blame them. Tables were placed so near each other, that getting out seat was difficult. However the food is not bad. Mild spicy level was just right.

Gong Yuan Mala Tang is not new in Singapore and has been around for quite sometime. I first had their mala tang back in their kovan branch and was quite impressed with the soul base and wide selection of ingredients that were avaliable for selection. The nex outlet is slightly bigger than the one in kovan and they have more sears available. During weekends, you will definitely need to queue up outside as they are usually full during key peak hours. You will need to queue up and when seats are available, the staff will bring you in and asked you to select your ingredients. You will need to grab a bowl and pick yourself. Do take note that the minimum weight is at least 280g. For two person, I manage to load up at total of 850g for a total price of 25.20 including gst and service charge. The price per 100g is at 2.68 sgd. The soup taste wise is standard across all their outlets in Singapore. I'm not sure if msg is added into their soup but I don't really feel thirsty after having it. Maybe experts can advise on this. Haha. Overall, it is a a good experience for me in terms of taste and freshness of the food. Do come over and try it out if you're around the area! 😋
