Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: A Hot Hideout at Nex offers a self-service mala experience with a focus on fresh ingredients and a clean, spacious environment.

We note the ordering process is streamlined via kiosks, allowing for quick service.

The signature stir-fried mala is consistently praised for its flavour, and the deep-fried lotus root is highlighted as a unique and crispy side, though one reviewer found it lacked the distinct lotus root taste.

While the mala collagen broth received mixed reviews, with one finding it bland compared to hawker alternatives, others recommend it.

The price point is considered good value, with a typical order costing around $28 per person, and the absence of a service charge is a plus.

We think it's a solid option for those seeking a clean, efficient mala meal, particularly if you appreciate the self-service model.

Best for a casual meal when you're in the area and craving mala with a twist.

Delicious Mala with crispy deep fried potato/lotus root. Their highest level of mala is really spicy, not advisable for those not used to eating spicy food.
