Gong Yuan Ma La Tang is a 100% locally owned Singapore brand established in 2017, specialising in Sichuan-style mala hotpot served in a comforting broth format.

The stall offers multiple soup bases ranging from mild to fiery mala, accommodating both spice enthusiasts and those who prefer a gentler flavour profile. Dine-in and takeaway options are available, and the customisable pick-and-choose format makes it easy to control portions and dietary preferences. It suits office workers on a quick lunch break, families seeking a warming meal, and anyone who appreciates the communal, build-your-own-bowl style of dining. When the craving for something spicy and soul-warming strikes in Sembawang, Gong Yuan Ma La Tang at Sun Plaza delivers a satisfying bowl that hits all the right notes. With its authentic Sichuan flavours and welcoming setup, it is a little slice of mala heaven in the neighbourhood.Operating Hours

The food is very very bad. The pork bone soup is TASTELESS. This kind of almost $20 food might as well self cook steamboat at home. Outlet is very stuffy, no aircon.
Revathi Pillay
Quote pricy for the limited number of side dishes. The pork bone soup is nice but the soup was not a lot. Vegie soup for $21 (talking about being very pricy) on the last picture and also keep rushing me to finish despite it was stil 9.50 and they close at 10pm. Super rush and not nice experience.
