We were shooting to dine at Eat Fresh but it’s unfortunately closed during Sundays. The new Mala Tang signage and well-lit interiors made us decide to give it a try. It’s a simple red and black motif restaurant with a well-used small space and interesting decor. It somewhat reminds me of small eateries in Chinatown with the kitchen welcoming you on the right side by the door.

Mala Tang’s specialty is really their hot pot but they also offer some dimsum and budget rice meals. There’s a step by step guide on the wall on how to create your own hot bowl.
Step 1: Choose your toppings
Step 2: Choose your noodles
Step 3: Choose your broth
On the side, we also ordered the spare ribs rice meal and chicken feet.

If you’re gunning for the sate broth instead of the clear one, it’s only an additional Php 10. The most affordable “hot pot” bowl you can make will only set you back by Php 125. Ingredients available for the hot pot include meat balls, squid, shrimp, bean curd, tofu and a variety of noodles.
