Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Donkey Colt Mala at Timbre+ Hillview presents itself as a solid option for mala xiang guo, with a wide selection of fresh ingredients displayed upfront.

We note that the dry xiang guo style is frequently praised for its fragrant mala sauce and balanced seasoning, offering a satisfying kick without being overly spicy.

Reviewers often highlight that ingredients are generally cooked well, retaining proper texture, though some found luncheon meat to be too soft.

The pricing structure, however, is a point of contention.

While some find it value-for-money, especially with discounts for 11B holders, others report it as expensive, with one instance of a $32 meal for a single person.

The method of charging by weight, where all ingredients (vegetables, meat, and even carbs) are priced the same, has led to some dissatisfaction.

There are also conflicting reports on freshness and flavour, with some praising the taste and others finding it bland or stale.

Verdict: A reliable option if you're in the area and craving mala, but be mindful of ingredient choices to manage cost, as pricing can be inconsistent.

Was bad… soggy and sticky, weird tasting mala, not xiang. (No peanuts!) And it was expensive $32 there… was totally caught when you are charged by placing the whole container on the weighing scale. Th…

It’s super expensive (>$18) for what looks like a relatively conservative meal (4 slices of meat with mainly vegetables) for one pax. The price did not justify the meal as it was terribly cooked - lac…
