A maocai chain from China has opened on the former grounds of Fu Xiao Xian at Bugis Junction (200 Victoria Street #01-88, 8668-6920). It was next door to an outlet of Zhangliang, and had a similarly large spread of ingredients to choose from. But these guys said that they used a hotpot broth, and hence it was maocai instead of malatang. Indeed, the broth tasted like a thin beef consommé, complete with a pleasant layer of oil on top. I still like the fuller body of Zhangliang's broth, but I don't mind coming back here, and would like to try their dry version next time.
