Have you tried this Mala Chicken in CBD?

Wow…. my friend brought me here and I have to say, it is truly underrated and hidden at a corner of a HDB. Recommended to every officer worker nearby who wants authenTHIC sichuan Mala Chicken to spice up life!!

The 辣子鸡 was LIFE-CHANGING, the 5 spices pork stir-fry was SO FLAVOURFUL and the Stir-fry cabbage was chef’s kiss 🧑‍🍳😙. You can request for more/less spicy according to your preference!!

For a min. spent of $80, you get 10% off, keeping it relatively affordable 🥺 My group of 5 spent around $10-$15 per person on 4 dishes!!

Will come back again!!!

📍Address: The Chinese Restaurant (中华料理), Tanjong Pagar Plaza, 02-30, S082001

... Read moreIf you're exploring Sichuan-style mala dishes in the CBD area, The Chinese Restaurant at Tanjong Pagar Plaza should be on your list. Beyond their must-try Mala Chicken, their stir-fried garlic pork with five spices offers a juicy, flavorful experience that pairs perfectly with the aromatic dishes. The stir-fried cabbage with garlic adds a refreshing balance to the meal, making it a wholesome and satisfying feast. One tip I’d share from my visits is to customize the spiciness according to your tolerance. Whether you prefer it mild or full-on spicy, they accommodate your preference which makes every dine-in experience personalized. Also, keep an eye out for their promotions like the 10% off on spending above $80, which is excellent for group meals or sharing multiple dishes without breaking the bank. It’s a great way to enjoy quality authentic mala cuisine in a casual setting without having to hunt far and wide. If you love mala cuisine and frequent the CBD or Tanjong Pagar areas frequently, this place offers a hidden gem vibe with authentic tastes that stand out from other mala options around. It’s perfect for spice lovers and anyone wanting to delve deeper into Sichuan flavors in Singapore.
