Locally born ma la tang chain with drinkable broth and pick-your-own ingredients at Century Square.
Gong Yuan Ma La Tang is a homegrown Singapore brand established in 2017 that specialises in ma la tang, the Sichuan-style pick-and-cook dish where diners select their own ingredients to be cooked in a fiery, numbing broth. The Century Square outlet brings this interactive and satisfying concept to Tampines, offering a warming meal that is especially popular during cooler weather. The brand prides itself on being 100 percent locally owned while retaining the authenticity of the beloved Chinese favourite. What sets Gong Yuan apart is its drinkable ma la soup base, which delivers the characteristic numbing and spicy punch without leaving a greasy or overwhelming aftertaste. For those who prefer milder options, the menu also offers mushroom, pork bone, tomato, and pickled vegetable soup bases, as well as a vegetarian-friendly option. Diners pick from a wide array of fresh vegetables, meats, tofu, and noodles, which are then cooked to order and served in the broth of their choice. Hot plate ma la with sesame dressing is another popular option. For a comforting, customisable bowl that lets you control the heat and the ingredients, Gong Yuan Ma La Tang at Century Square hits the spot. Pick your favourites, choose your broth, and dive into a bowl that is uniquely yours.Operating Hours
