Malatang Express
Malatang Express is a casual Chinese hot pot spot known for its pick-your-own ingredient style where meals are priced by weight. The menu features clearly labelled vegan and gluten-free options including tofu, vegan chicken, and vegetable broths. Friendly and knowledgeable staff guide newcomers through the ordering process, making it a welcoming place for solo diners and groups alike, though some inconsistent feedback on food hygiene and broth variety exists.
