Halal Food in Wang Zai Mala Hot Pot

Operating out of Blk 4A Jalan Batu Hawker Centre, Wang Zai Kitchen has carved out a reputation among the neighbourhood's mala xiang guo enthusiasts. The stall is run by a couple from China who brought their Sichuan cooking techniques to this Kallang estate food centre, and it shows in every fiery bowl they serve.\n\nWhat sets this stall apart is the exceptional wok hei they achieve, something diners have noted as superior to many other mala spots around the island. The secret lies in their patient approach to stir-frying, taking the time needed to coax maximum flavour from each ingredient rather than rushing through orders. Beyond the customizable mala bowls filled with vegetables and meats of your choosing, they also offer Chinese-style tze char dishes like sliced pork belly with sauerkraut and stir-fried chives with pork and black fungus.\n\nThe stall operates Thursday to Monday from 11am to 9pm, taking Tuesdays and Wednesdays off. For those craving authentic Sichuan flavours without the restaurant markup, this hawker stall delivers both heat and heart.
