Editor’s Note
Last updated 21 Jul 2026
Our take: A Hot Hideout at NUS is a popular spot for mala, particularly for its collagen soup bases.
We note that the mala collagen soup is a consistent favourite, praised for being flavourful without being overly oily or spicy.
The option to deep-fry certain ingredients like luncheon meat, potato, lotus root, and mantou is a unique selling point, with the deep-fried mantou buns and peanut sauce pairing highly recommended.
However, we'd advise caution when selecting ingredients; items like potato can add significantly to the bill, with one reviewer noting a single potato could cost over $8.
Prices are calculated at $2.68 per 100g, so it's easy to over-order.
While the food is generally well-received, be mindful of the spice levels, as even 'medium' can be quite intense.
Expect significant queues during weekday dinner hours, potentially up to an hour, though weekends and after 8pm on weekdays see fewer crowds.
The venue can also be noisy, making conversation difficult.
Overall, it's a solid choice for a mala fix, especially if you're in the area and willing to navigate the crowds.
