JIANG HU MAO CAI 江湖冒菜 at Junction 10

Sichuan maocai stall at Junction 10, simmering vegetables and meats in a spicy, numbing chilli broth.

JIANG HU MAO CAI at Junction 10 brings the fiery, numbing flavours of Sichuan maocai to the Bukit Panjang neighbourhood, offering a customisable hot pot-style dish where diners select their ingredients and have them cooked in a bubbling, chilli oil-laden broth.

Maocai (冒菜), often described as a personal-sized Sichuan hot pot, differs from traditional hot pot in that the kitchen prepares the entire bowl for you—vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and your choice of meats are simmered together in the signature mala broth and served piping hot.

Located at #01-29 in Junction 10, the stall allows diners to choose their preferred spice level, though even the milder settings carry a respectable kick that Sichuan food enthusiasts will appreciate. The brand has expanded to multiple outlets across Singapore, reflecting the growing popularity of authentic Sichuan flavours in the local food scene. For Junction 10 shoppers and Bukit Panjang residents who enjoy the tingling, sweat-inducing pleasure of proper mala cuisine, JIANG HU MAO CAI delivers a bowl that is as invigorating as it is filling. Those sensitive to spice should order with caution, but for chilli devotees, this stall is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood.
