Rating Restaurant in Singapore 🍽️

If you’re curious about the menu at 57° Mala Xiang Guo in Ang Mo Kio, it offers a variety of dishes typical of mala cuisine but with their own local twists. Apart from the signature mala xiang guo, I tried several other items that showcase the diversity of flavors here. The Kung Pao Chicken was interesting to me; it leaned towards a sweeter taste than I usually prefer, but it worked well when eaten with rice to balance the flavors. The Salt & Pepper Shrimps were fresh and crunchy, though I found the price a bit on the higher side for the portion. The Preserved Radish Omelette was a nice twist and tasted quite good, even if the texture felt a little gelatinous towards the end. I also sampled various skewers which were a hit or miss experience. For example, the lamb skewer was tough, but the mushroom skewers were juicy and flavorful. The sautéed cabbage was decent and reminded me of the versions served in many Chinese restaurants; while it wasn’t a standout dish, it complemented our meal well. One thing I appreciated was the generally manageable crowd even during dinner hours, making it a comfortable place to dine without a long wait. Portions were generous across the board, so it’s great for sharing with friends or family. Overall, 57° Mala Xiang Guo @ Ang Mo Kio is worth trying if you’re in the neighborhood and want a casual mala dining experience with some hits and misses. For regulars or anyone interested in mala dishes, checking recent reviews and photos online can help set expectations. Personally, I’d say it’s a solid option to explore Singapore’s vibrant mala scene without breaking the bank too much.
