Overview

If you find yourself in Singapore, zip on over to Western Mahua, nestled in PLQ Mall—it’s the kind of place you don’t wanna miss. Imagine stepping into a casual eatery buzzing with energy and the irresistible aroma of handmade noodles wafting through the air. Trust me, your stomach will thank you.

Now, I’ve visited this spot a few times, and it’s kind of a mixed bag. On one hand, their signature beef la mian is a solid choice. The broth? Savory, not overwhelming, just the right kick! You can even choose the thickness of your noodles, which I think is a nifty touch. But here’s where it gets tricky; they seem to sometimes skimp on the beef. Like, c’mon—five small pieces for a bowl? You’d expect a bit more bang for your buck, especially when you’re paying around $12+.

You’d think the handmade vibe means top-notch quality, right? Sometimes, it feels like a game of roulette. One visit, the lamb skewers are juicy and seasoned just right; the next, they’re a tad on the chewy side. And I won’t even get into the occasional service hiccups—waiting 40 minutes for a bun when you’re already done with your meal is just… well, frustrating is an understatement.

But, hey, not everything’s a bust! Many diners rave about the chicken wings and the hearty portions. It’s a great place for lunch or dinner with friends and family. Plus, they’ve got that casual atmosphere that doesn’t scream pretentious, so you can just kick back.

And if you’re the kind of person who eats with a (gluttonous) heart, go for the lunch promo—second bowl’s half-off! Just a heads up: they don’t have a halal certificate, so that might be a deal-breaker for some. The big plus? It’s easy to bring the family or a group, and the staff are generally pretty accommodating.

So, if you’re in the mood for some handmade noodles and you’re at PLQ, Western Mahua could scratch that itch. Will it blow your mind? Maybe not. But will it fill your belly and give you a decent meal? Absolutely!
