Bold Sichuan and Chinese fare at 100AM Mall — fiery mala dishes and dry pots that bring the heat.
SPICY CHEF at 100AM Mall lives up to its name, serving up fiery Sichuan and Chinese dishes that celebrate the mala (numbing-spicy) flavour profile. The menu features signature mala xiang guo (dry pot), where diners pick their ingredients and have them stir-fried in a fragrant, chilli-laden sauce, as well as classic Sichuan dishes like mapo tofu, water-boiled fish, and Chongqing chicken.The spice levels are not for the faint-hearted, but the kitchen balances heat with the distinctive Sichuan peppercorn tingle that keeps you reaching for more. Beyond the mala offerings, SPICY CHEF also serves non-spicy Chinese dishes, making it possible to dine with a mixed group. The second-floor outlet at 100AM is casual and brightly lit, with table seating that works for both quick lunches and extended dinner sessions.
The restaurant has its own online ordering platform, and the Tanjong Pagar location is convenient for office workers craving a spice hit during the lunch hour. If you are the kind of diner who believes food should make you sweat a little, SPICY CHEF at 100AM is your kind of place. Bring your spice tolerance and an appetite — you will need both.

Food was good, especially the beef and potato slices. Very flavourful and well-seasoned. However, some may find the spiciness a little overwhelming. …

We absolutely love this restaurant! The dishes are always authentic and delicious, and we find ourselves coming here almost every week. We’ve also introduced many friends to this place, and they all enjoyed it as much as we do. The service is consistently friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!
