Editor’s Note

Last updated 3 Aug 2026

We think Labula Mala Hotpot Restaurant in Hougang is a solid option for customizable Chinese hotpot and Mala Xiang Guo.

The Google rating of 4.4/5 from over 1,200 reviews suggests a generally positive dining experience.

Diners can choose their spice levels, with '小辣' (mild spicy) recommended for those who enjoy a kick, and '小小辣' for a milder experience.

The Golden Fish Slice Soup is also a popular choice, described as thick and peppery, pairing well with rice.

However, some ingredients like the '大肠' (large intestine) have been noted for freshness issues, and some vegetables on skewers might be undercooked for certain preferences.

While service can be attentive, as highlighted by a specific mention of 'Zay' and a replacement of unsatisfactory fish, wait times for orders can be long during peak hours.

A meal for two, including two drinks and two rice, can cost around $37.

We'd recommend visiting during off-peak hours, such as a late lunch after 4pm, to avoid potential delays and ensure a smoother experience.

What customers say

Labula Mala Hotpot Restaurant @ Hougang generally receives positive feedback for its customizable mala options and the unique peppery Golden Fish Slice Soup, which is a recommended dish.

While the spice levels are appreciated, some customers find the pricing to be on the higher side and note occasional issues with ingredient freshness, specifically with pig intestines and fish, though staff are praised for their attentiveness in resolving such concerns.

Service can be slow during peak hours, but staff are often described as friendly and observant.

Mala Xiang Guo is mainly what we had when visiting Labula. I recommend trying at least mild spicy (小辣) or above; otherwise, it’s almost like having a non-spicy garlic stir-fried version. We also trie…

First time dining at Labula. It’s not the typical mala place where you can freely pick and customise your portions, so if you usually like to take a bit of everything, it’s better to share with your d…
