Show Malatang

Show Malatang at 16 Tyler Street lets you build a meal around a soup base and your choice of meat, vegetables and noodles. The broth matters here: choices include beef bone, pickled cabbage, tomato and fish maw with chicken. Tomato is listed as nonspicy, while some beef-bone options cannot be ordered without heat, so check the description before choosing.

If you prefer your ingredients without soup, look for malaban, the spicy mixed version. Fried skewers, including squid, tofu and corn, provide something to share alongside a bowl. The menu offers several ways to combine the ingredients, rather than one fixed recipe for every order.
