If there’s one thing Singaporeans love, it’s food that packs a punch. Over the past few years, Mala has taken Singapore by storm. From dry stir-fried Mala Xiang Guo to spicy skewers dipped in peppercorn-infused broth, the popularity of this fiery flavour shows no signs of slowing down. Now, Suki-Ya—a well-loved hotpot destination in Singapore—has joined the Mala craze by introducing a brand-new Mala Soup Base that promises to turn up the heat on your dining experience.
Starting 20 August 2025, diners can indulge in this spicy new option at participating Suki-Ya outlets across the island. What makes this launch particularly exciting is not just the fact that Mala has arrived at Suki-Ya, but also that diners get to choose from three distinct spice levels. Whether you prefer a gentle warmth, a satisfying chilli burn, or the full numbing and tingling effect of authentic Mala peppercorns, there’s a version tailored just for you.
This is not just another hotpot broth. It’s Suki-Ya’s way of combining their popular “House of Hotpot” concept with a trendy, bold flavour profile that has captivated many across Singapore. For fans of both hotpot and Mala, this new offering feels like the perfect match.
Why this Mala Soup Base is Worth Trying
Food trends come and go, but Mala has stood the test of time in Singapore. People keep going back to it for the unique combination of spice, fragrance, and the numbing sensation from Sichuan peppercorns. By offering this new soup base, Suki-Ya gives diners the chance to enjoy the Mala experience in a communal, steamboat-style setting.
Unlike Mala stir-fries, where flavours cling mainly to the ingredients, hotpot allows the entire broth to absorb the complex layers of spices. This means every slice of meat, every mushroom, every leafy vegetable that goes into the pot soaks up that fiery Mala essence. For those who love dining as a social experience, it adds another layer of fun—especially when friends gather around the table to test their spice tolerance together.
The option to customise the heat level also makes this deal appealing. Not everyone can handle the same degree of spice, so having three levels ensures that nobody is left out. If you’re someone who only wants a subtle kick while still enjoying the umami of the broth, you can opt for the mild version. On the other hand, spice lovers who want a bold challenge can go straight for the fiery level. This versatility makes it perfect for families and groups of friends with different spice preferences.
What to Expect at Suki-Ya
Suki-Ya has always prided itself on being more than just another hotpot restaurant. They are known for their fresh, thinly sliced meats, wholesome vegetables, and the all-you-can-eat concept that allows diners to indulge without limits. Pairing this with their Mala Soup Base feels like a natural progression of their offerings.
Imagine dipping tender beef slices into a bubbling pot of rich Mala broth, then following it up with crunchy greens or tofu that have soaked up the spicy flavours. The experience is both comforting and exhilarating, making it ideal for anyone who enjoys bold flavours alongside the warmth of a shared meal.
Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak dining hours. The Mala Soup Base is subject to availability and may not be offered at every single branch, so checking with your preferred outlet in advance will save you from disappointment.
How to Enjoy the Mala Soup Base
The best part about this promotion is its simplicity. There’s no need for vouchers, discount codes, or complicated steps. All you need to do is head down to a participating Suki-Ya outlet, order your hotpot meal, and request the Mala Soup Base as your broth choice. It’s as straightforward as it gets.
For added convenience, diners can make an online reservation through Suki-Ya’s official website or through various booking platforms. This is especially useful for larger groups who don’t want to risk long waiting times.
Why You Should Go for It

The Bigger Picture: Why Mala Still Matters
It’s worth noting why Mala has resonated so strongly with diners in Singapore. Part of the appeal lies in its versatility. The combination of chilli and Sichuan peppercorns creates a unique sensation known as “málà” in Mandarin—“má” meaning numb and “là” meaning spicy. This sensory experience is unlike anything else and explains why it has become a phenomenon.
In a hotpot setting, Mala works exceptionally well because the broth continuously simmers, intensifying the flavour over time. Each round of ingredients takes on more of the spice, keeping the experience fresh and exciting until the very last bite. For adventurous eaters, this progression is part of the thrill.
Another reason for Mala’s enduring appeal is its social aspect. Ordering Mala dishes often sparks conversations about spice tolerance, favourite combinations, and personal preferences. Suki-Ya’s Mala Soup Base taps directly into this communal spirit, making it a fun and memorable outing for groups.
Final Thoughts
The launch of the Mala Soup Base at Suki-Ya outlets across Singapore is more than just a menu addition—it’s an event for spice lovers. It represents the blending of a trendy flavour with the timeless ritual of hotpot dining. For anyone looking to spice up their meals, this is a deal worth grabbing.
From its customisable spice levels to the guaranteed freshness of Suki-Ya’s ingredients, everything about this promotion makes it worth a visit. Whether you’re planning a casual dinner with friends, a family outing, or simply craving something bold and flavourful, the Mala Soup Base is ready to deliver.
So, if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to gather your loved ones for a meal, this might just be it. Suki-Ya has set the table, and all that’s left is for diners to bring their appetite and perhaps a little courage to face the heat.
