Our take: 132 Mala stands out for its mala xiang guo, which many describe as a more localised and less oily version compared to traditional mainland styles.
We note consistent praise for the flavour profile, often described as 'just nice' and not overly heavy, with fresh ingredients.
The braised trotters, a newer menu item, have garnered specific acclaim for being exceptionally tender and flavourful.
While the overall taste and quality of ingredients, especially the meat, are frequently highlighted, some customers find the pricing for certain meat cuts, like beef at $3/100g, to be on the higher side, leading to individual meals costing around $17-20.
There's also a mixed reception regarding the texture of instant noodles and the overall oiliness, with one reviewer finding it mediocre.
We think this spot is best for those who prefer a saucier, less intense mala experience and are willing to pay a bit more for quality ingredients.
Best for a casual meal if you're in the Bukit Batok area.
