Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Guo Chang Mala Xiang Guo is a popular spot, especially with the student and teacher crowd from nearby institutions like NUS and Nan Hua High.

We see consistent praise for its affordability and flavour, with many reviewers highlighting the 'xiao la' (mild spice) option as being 'seamlessly on point' and not overly oily.

A family of four can expect to pay around $7.45 per person for a grilled fish set with complimentary vegetables and rice, while a two-person mala order with various ingredients often comes in under $10.

While the food generally receives high marks for taste and value, there are some operational concerns.

We note reports of orders being mixed up, particularly for takeaways, and issues with recalculating prices when ingredients are adjusted.

Waiting times can also extend to 35 minutes during busy periods.

Despite these occasional hiccups, the consensus points to a 'bomb mala' experience that is both cheap and good.

We think it's a solid choice for an affordable and flavourful mala fix, especially if you're in the Clementi area.

Best for a quick, budget-friendly meal, but be prepared for potential queues and double-check your order during peak times.

What customers say

Guo Chang Mala Xiang Guo is highly praised for its affordable and flavourful mala, with many customers highlighting the "xiao la" spice level as perfectly balanced and not overly oily.

The grilled fish also receives positive mentions for being spicy, meaty, and fragrant.

While service is generally fast, there have been isolated incidents of order mix-ups and pricing inflexibility, particularly with takeaway orders.

Good price for the amount of food but find it kind of oily. It’s spicy even when I order Xiao La. I got my order fast even though it’s dinner time.
